Nikki Chrysostomou Founder and Director of Tranquility Pilates Centre. National and International Pilates Presenter:

Nikki has been teaching Pilates for over 10 years and has studied with Balanced Body, The Pilates Institute and Polestar Pilates. She has attended workshops with Mary Bowen and Ron Fletcher (the Pilates elders) and has studied at various Pilates studios in New York and Miami. She regularly attends international conventions including Pilates on Tour and the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) AGM.  She started teaching Gyrotonic® in 2004 and Gyrokinesis® in 2005, which brought her to work closely with Cori Doetzer (Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis® Authorised Master Trainer) and has taken intense training with Juliu Horvath the founder of these methodologies.

Nikki regularly travels to Europe, Asia and the States to take the right course with the appropriate teacher, keeping her updated and becoming one of the best in her line of work.

In 2007 Nikki broadened her knowledge of the body and how it functions completing a 2 year course with the London College of Shiatsu.  This course gave Nikki a better understanding of the human body and helps to determine the underlying problems of client’s pathologies:

• Why do people feel the way they do?
• Why do they move in that manner?
• Why are they in pain?

Listening and observing the client’s body and determining what it needs is a big part of Nikki’s work.  This results in an increase in the quality of movement, movement with less or no pain and ensures initiation of movement from the right place.

In October 2008 Nikki was accepted as a Pre-Trainer for Gyrotonic®. This enables Nikki to run Gyrotonic® Level 1 Pre-Training Courses and means that she has taken another step towards becoming a Master Trainer.

At the beginning of 2009 Nikki was approached by Balanced Body (the largest Pilates organisation in the world) to open the first Balanced Body Education Centre in the UK.  This is a natural progression in her career and enables her to pass on her knowledge and experience of teaching Pilates & Gyrotonic®. The Tranquility Teacher Training Centre offers courses and workshops that Nikki has adapted so they are in line with UK Government Bodies (Skills Active & REPs). These courses have been approved so students can teach anywhere in the UK and Internationally.  All Balanced Body courses are accredited by PMA, the world governing body for Pilates.

In 2011 Nikki started to teach Nationally and Internationally for Balanced Body and this year (2012) she will be presenting at Pilates on Tour London  and at the largest UK Fitness Convention "Fitpro".
