My Journey

Elena Fulton Clinical Pilates Specialist

​​

Movement has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Originally from Italy, I moved to the UK in 2003 and spent many years performing as a professional dancer in theatres across the UK and internationally.

In 2010, a back injury shifted my path and introduced me to Pilates and yoga as tools for recovery. What began as rehabilitation soon became a true vocation, inspiring me to retrain as a Pilates teacher and help others move more freely, feel stronger and reconnect with their bodies.

I qualified in Pilates and remedial exercise with Alan Herdman in 2012 (the pioneer of Pilates in the UK) and later gained a Pre and Post-Natal Pilates certification from Body Control Pilates® with Lynn Robinson. In 2019, I completed my two-year Yoga Teacher Training Diploma with Yogacampus in London. I am also a certified Relax and Renew® Restorative Yoga teacher, trained under the guidance of Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD and physical therapist.

Over the past 15 years, I have worked with a wide range of clients, from athletes to older adults, delivering Pilates and yoga sessions tailored to individual needs. I collaborate closely with physiotherapists and osteopaths to support injury prevention and rehabilitation, helping my clients move safely and effectively.

I am also a qualified Level 3 Sports Massage Therapist, trained at St Mary’s University, Twickenham.

Sports massage allows me to complement my movement-based work with hands-on treatment to help reduce muscular tension, support recovery and improve mobility.

Treatments are tailored to each client’s needs and are suitable for athletes and active individuals, as well as those experiencing muscular tightness or stiffness through work and everyday life. By combining my knowledge of movement, anatomy and remedial exercise with sports massage, I can offer a more integrated approach to physical wellbeing.

Alongside Pilates, yoga and sports massage, I have shared my love of movement through dance teaching, working at institutions including English National Ballet School. I strongly believe in lifelong learning and regularly attend workshops and courses to deepen my knowledge and refine my skills.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment where people feel listened to and can move with greater ease, develop strength and nurture their long-term wellbeing.
