The London Method

Today, May 7th is a day I will always remember. It is the day I 1st became certified to become a teacher in the ORIGINAL class taught to me by & created by her mother .

I was a certified Pilates instructor at the time who had fallen in love with & was teaching Barre + Pilates classes here in the USA.

I had read a Memoir that Esther had written called “My Improper Mother & Me” and the book inspired me to reach out to her to find out more about the workout her mother had created so many years ago.

I had no idea what I was about to uncover on this trip to England all those years ago. The ORIGINAL work was so different to what I had been taught to teach previously & had so many complimentary elements to the Pilates work I was already teaching & I knew immediately I had to share it with others.

Here in these photos I am receiving my OG Lotte Berk Technique certificate, standing with other women who had been practicing the technique for years & I even filmed a full OG class taught by the now legend Esther Fairfax herself.

It was a magical time, (as I would later learn) this technique would change my life & how I thought about movement in general for the foreseeable future.

The exercises changed my physique like nothing else I had ever tried before. The strength I gained was not just about how it made you look & feel. It was so much deeper than that. I could do any workout I tried now with a new ease I had never felt before. The feeling we all received when practicing it together bonded us all in a way none of us will forget.

It wasn’t just a workout Lotte Berk created it was a Work of Art. It was also something that I have always felt the whole world (or at least anyone who valued movement) should have access too if they wanted to build core strength like they have never felt before.

As I write this I am uploading the 1st 1/2 of this fabulous workout Esther 1st showed me to theLONDONmethod substack,It’s time you all have access to this work once & for all!
