Liz Chandler - Pure Moves director

Liz comes from a professional contemporary dance background. Originally from California, she received a BA in Dance from the University of California (UCLA). After graduating she went on to perform professionally with companies in both the US and the UK. Since moving to England in the 1990s she has presented her own choreography and has been commissioned as a choreographer for dance and physical theatre companies. Liz has lectured and taught dance for Bath City College and the University of Bath, England. It was through her career in dance that she became aware of Pilates. When she was incapacitated by 2 spinal disc bulges/protrusions Liz turned to Pilates as a means of rehabilitation. Her osteopath stated she had never seen such a speedy recovery from this type of injury.

Having reaped the benefits of Pilates first hand, Liz was inspired to share the advantages of Pilates with others. She became a fully qualified Pilates teacher with Body Control Pilates® and more recently furthered her Pilates training with master teacher Suzanne Scott and the Pilates foundation in machine and apparatus work. Liz teaches Pilates at her centre Pure Moves Studios, Frome, the Scott Studios, Castle Cary. She is head of Fitness at Circomedia, Centre for Circus and Performing Arts.

Liz has conducted professional instructor training workshops for the Pilates Foundation on the benefits of Functional Pilates and has also run professional development workshops on Pilates for physiotherapists and osteopaths.
