MEET THE TEACHER
Gemma Bowen
My life has been defined by a deep and unwavering passion for movement, first through dance and gymnastics, and later through the practice and teaching of Pilates.
As a former professional ballet dancer, I developed a deep understanding of the body, not just how it moves, but how it strengthens, adapts, and thrives with the right guidance. My journey after dance led me to Pilates, where I discovered a form of movement that fulfilled everything my body and mind craved. This evolved into a lifelong passion for teaching Pilates, helping others feel strong, capable and confident in their own bodies.
I am a certified STOTT and Body Control Pilates teacher, qualified in both Mat and Reformer Pilates. My approach blends precision, flow, and dynamic programming to create lessons that are challenging, supportive, and enjoyable.
Whether you're building strength, recovering from injury, improving posture, enhancing athletic performance, or simply wanting to move and feel better, I tailor each lesson to meet your needs. My aim is to create a relaxed, welcoming environment where you feel comfortable, empowered and motivated to grow and develop.
I am deeply committed to continual professional development, and evolving as a teacher. I love expanding my knowledge and sharing it with my clients, ensuring every lesson reflects the highest standard of care, expertise and intention.
As well as teaching Pilates I am also a Pilates educator, and founder of GB Pilates Education. GB Pilates Education will aim to deliver high quality training and mentorship to both aspiring, and established teachers. Supporting the next generation of teachers is a true passion of mine and I hope to build a community where teachers feel supported and empowered.
CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
GROUP MATWORK
In these hour long classes you will focus on breathing, alignment, strength and flexibility, providing a full body workout. Classes are suitable for everyone over 16 years old, and every individual will work at their own pace and intensity. Classes are small so guidance and care can be given to each individual.
REFORMER
Reformer lessons increase strength, endurance, flexibility and posture. The reformer is a moving carriage using variable spring resistance. Classes are held at the beautiful Pilates at the Farm Studio, near Royal Wootton Bassett, where I offer 1:1, duo and small groups of up to four individuals. I also teach group reformer lessons at another lovely studio, Patti's in Old Town, Swindon.
All reformer group classes are booked direct with each studio on their own booking app.
For private and duo reformer lessons please enquire for further details.
Pilates Teacher Training
Discover the art and science of Pilates through expertly led training designed for both aspiring and experienced teachers.
Each training programme will be carefully designed to help teachers feel the movements, develop a deep understanding of the 'why' behind each exercise, and learn how to pass on that knowledge with clarity and confidence.
Alongside practical and theoretical learning, GB Pilates Education will provide a supportive, professional community where mentorship, guidance, support and collaboration will help you grow as a teacher.
