“The most astonishing thing about Elizabeth’s approach, is the impact and results she achieves with the utmost subtlety. To be in her hands and under her watchful assessment is really well worth the learning, let alone the physical, emotional and spiritual results she enables you to achieve. In the two short sessions I have had with her, I have learned more about myself and my body than at any time ever in my life, and it’s 50 years and counting.
How does she make a difference? She listens, looks, checks and is a consumate practitioner. Her background in nursing and in dance, performance and teaching, inform her practice, giving her a deep understanding of how bodies work, and you feel and see this in a very practical way, with her choice of tools and exercises. Her work is infused with deep respect, compassion and spirituality; I felt as though Elizabeth recognised aspects of me that I had not seen for myself, and shared this with me in ways which were gentle and revealing, without a trace of arrogance or judgement that often comes with a “professional approach”. This put me at my ease and allowed me to gain even greater benefits from her help and teaching. So just a little goes a very long way.
Another aspect of her approach is the sheer variety of options for improving dance practice, health and fitness: she can offer individual and group work, indoor work with an impressive range of equipment from mats, to the bar, to customised equipment and outdoor work in a semi rural setting, which includes woodland and fresh air. We did a short power walking circuit and I came back zinging with energy. Her offers of warmed and spiced juices and teas are wonderful ways to finish a session, customised of course!
Elizabeth’s skills and attention to detail make her a superb practitioner and demonstrate her Passion for Life”

Greetings from New York,
I’m a Pilates fanatic and have worked with many Pilates teachers and students and never have I come across anyone like you Liz.
You are the most knowledgable and caring Pilates teacher I have ever met and worked with and I cannot tell you how much you are missed in the states.
Your personal touch and helpful information have transformed my body and mind. You are always hand ons and have this sixth sense about what is going on in one’s body. Besides all the great sessions we had you are blessed with an amazing spiritual well-being that transends with your workouts.
I wish I was closer to your studio as I would be there all the time. For the people in England who have the opportunity to work with you they are very lucky indeed. You come highly recommended.
Best Regards, Eileen Miller.

Dear Elizabeth,
I would like to thank you for all the work you have been doing for my well being.
I must Admit in the Five weeks that you have been helping me to get into shape,I can walk much better and I am using the stairs with much better ease.
And I feel much fitter and a lot stronger, in body and in mind,my breathing helps me when I go walking and I can do some of the exercises you have given me when I am relaxing in front of the T.V.I am quite surprised that I am not all aches and pains the next day. But I think the way you are teaching me must mean that you definitely know what you are doing for me.Thank you once again. Love Pauline xxxxxx

On a freezing Friday morning in January I arrived at a warm & welcoming studio to attempt a power walk session with Dance and Movement specialist & wellness expert Liz Chukwu.
I was lacking motivation, felt sluggish and was beginning to feel weary. I needed motivation and encouragement to get going on some sort of fitness regime.
Liz began by going through some breathing exercises to get oxygen around my body, she then concentrated on my feet, flexing toes, stretching muscles, tendons, and the effects were immediate with me feeling as I was so much more in control and aware of my lower body. With the warm up completed we set off for our power walk, naturally Liz started off at a good pace and then gradually built up pace. She guided me on my breathing, pace & posture. The route covered the tranquil and beautiful Dulwich Woods; we stopped on the way and did some stretches.
On arrival back at the studio we went through some warm downs followed by a time of feedback over a warm delicious cinnamon & apple drink.I was so impressed with the workout, my body came alive and I felt flexible, more positive and really eager for my next session.
I highly recommend the gifted Liz Chukwu, she is a specialist in her field, patient & very knowledgeable, let her help you to take care of your body, after all you only have one body.
