We are delighted to welcome Christos Niaros to Breathe Classical Pilates and Rosalie Sevel Pilates for a special day of Classical Pilates workshops exploring extension, the Reformer and the art of adapting the work to the individual.
Christos is a highly experienced and masterful Classical Pilates teacher with a deep understanding of the Pilates system and its lineage. He is deeply committed to preserving the integrity of the method as created by Joseph Pilates, bringing to his teaching a rare combination of knowledge, discipline, focus and genuine respect for the work. Christos has taught and held senior roles within leading Pilates studios in London and is regularly invited to teach specialist workshops.
Since starting his training in 2010, Christos has completed two comprehensive certifications and has furthered his extensive studies within the Classical Method, including the LEAP Masters Program with Bob Liekens, The Classical Syllabus® and Beyond the Syllabus® with Mejo Wiggin, as well as PPATT™ with Kathi Ross Nash.
Known for his precision, clarity, and an exceptional eye for movement, Christos’s workshops go beyond simply learning exercises. He encourages participants to understand the purpose behind the work, recognise what each individual body needs and develop the ability to make intelligent choices within the system. His teaching challenges and supports in equal measure, helping you to refine your technique, deepen your understanding, and develop a more discerning eye for the work.

“I've been doing Pilates classes at Breathe for a couple of years. Really friendly and non-intimidating teachers, I fitted straight in as a complete newbie with a natural loathing of any sort of exercise class. I feel immensely better for my regular Pilates fix - I'm more strong and flexible now in my 50s than I was in my 30s.”
