Chrissy is a classical Pilates, Yoga and Barre instructor with a deep passion for movement and holistic forms of exercise. She has been teaching for over 16 years and combines teaching with her ongoing work as a choreographer. After 8 years of training at the Royal Ballet School and a dance career that saw Chrissy dance with both the Royal Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet, an ankle injury led her to discover the extraordinary rehabilitative effects of the Pilates method. Chrissy went on to gain certification from Pilates International, London and later with Power Pilates, New York. She also has Barre certification and taught for the exclusive ‘Barrecore’ studios in London. Her Yoga journey started when she was very young, and she has completed her instructor training with Yoga London including pre and postnatal Yoga. Her focus as a teacher is always to challenge each client appropriately and focus on building a mind-body connection that goes beyond the work in the studio – to create long-term body awareness and a true sense of wellbeing. Chrissy combines her ongoing work as a choreographer with her work as an instructor and director for Silver Linings Retreats.

Silver Linings Retreats host holistic wellness experiences that take place in magical places around the world. They are committed to supporting clients pre, during and post-retreat to achieve their wellness goals wherever they are on their wellness journey. The retreat focus is to provide expertise and experiences in methods and practices that support their four ‘pillars’ of wellness: movement, rest & relaxation, nourishment and sleep.
