Jan Pickering

Jan has been teaching Pilates since 2007 when she trained with Modern Pilates, which takes a clinical approach to Pilates. She was delighted to be asked to work one-to-one with clients at the Foster Clinic in Gorleston and has loved seeing the impact that Pilates has had on their lives; they develop strength, body awareness and confidence whilst learning how to move with ease.

Outside the clinic, Jan teaches group matwork classes and one-to-one Reformer sessions, having gained STOTT Pilates Certified status in 2017. She is also a teacher in Further Education, delivering teacher training at East Coast College in Great Yarmouth and teaching on the Foundation degree in Sport Health and Exercise, University of Suffolk.

Jan continuously updates knowledge to be able to better support clients’ needs by regularly attending further training; most recently having completed training in Pilates for Pelvic floor health (2017), spinal conditions (2018) and scoliosis (2018).
