High Intensity Power Pilates is the creation of Lisa Bradshaw. It is her vision to generate a more dynamic form of Pilates that combines the precision and focus of a traditional Pilates session with the dynamic energy of a high intensity workout.

Lisa was first introduced to Pilates whilst studying for a BA (hons) Dance degree at the Laban Conservatoire of Movement and Dance. This sparked her passion for flowing, controlled and creative movement. Her desire for a deeper knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics led her to qualify as a Pilates teacher in the early 90s.

Having successfully trained clients and students worldwide Lisa became Director of Education for Europe’s biggest Pilates teacher training organisation, Body Control Pilates. Lisa went on to create and deliver a wide variety of matwork and equipment courses as well as co-authoring the highly acclaimed ’Pilates Bible’.

In addition to her extensive research and knowledge of the original Pilates method, Lisa is also a qualified Personal Trainer and continues to study functional anatomy and sports physiology in order to continue to refine and develop her teaching expertise.

These days Lisa enjoys a busy schedule as director of LB Pilates Academy for Teachers, training, developing and supporting teachers through all aspects of their Pilates career, www.lisabpilates.com
