Emily Odoire

BASI Faculty & Pilates Instructor

For over 20 years Emily has been at the forefront of teaching in equipment studios and mat classes in London and Internationally. Emily was first introduced to Pilates whilst at the Royal Ballet in 1990. Unfortunately, after multiple injuries she was told by doctors that she would be unable to walk by the age of 40. Pilates gave her body back its strength and she subsequently trained with Alan Herdman Pilates (2000). Emily became a BASI qualified Pilates instructor in 2004 and now is a BASI faculty member and examiner. She has travelled extensively around the globe to teach courses in Paris, Istanbul, Dublin, Amsterdam, Dubai and London. Emily strongly believes Pilates can be for everyone irrespective of age or ability. She has supported clients with injuries, pre/postnatal, hormone change and emotional challenges with empathy, as well as addressing everyone’s desire for body conditioning. Emily continues to invest in her own industry development in order to inform and improve her teaching, through studying. Emily particularly enjoys the privilege of working with and mentoring Pilates students through their journey and supporting them with their ongoing learning. She has a natural and approachable style that immediately puts people at ease. One of her core strengths is assessing movement patterns and recognising what is needed for any individual’s body to guide them to correct postural alignment and improved efficiency of movement. Emily also teaches classes and workshops in collaboration with other holistic partners. When Emily isn’t busy with Pilates, she loves spending time with her husband, two boys and French Bulldog, all of whom keep her very busy and wonderfully happy. ‍
