Becky began her dancing career as a child in Dublin, she was drawn to study professionally at age 20.

She was accepted to Rambert School London where she studied ballet and contemporary for 3 years. She went on to work in contemporary companies in Ireland and abroad to the present day, she has toured around Ireland and England, Scotland, Paris, Sicily, Palestine, Israel, Germany, Serbia.

Becky has choreographed performed and taught at all ages to all ages and also investigated many styles and areas, the investigation of Pilates has become her firm favorite.

Having had sporadic Pilates experience over her career Becky studied it seriously after the birth of her daughter in 2004, firstly under master trainer Joyce in BODYFIRM™. She completed her matwork training with STOTT™ Pilates in 2009 learning essential 1, 2 and advanced. She has been teaching under the Studio32 banner and elsewhere since 2005.

"Since training in Pilates, my body has undergone a big shift, leaving me with much better posture increased strength, more ease of movement, less aches and pains, greater tone, an all around healthier and more confident feel. As a dancer my body awareness was good but pilates has helped me increase that too."

I have been a Pilates practitioner for 8 years. I started dancing at the tender age of five and became completely hooked. After flying through all my ballet exams with Pauline McGrath I was accepted to the Rambert School in London for three years.

I have performed with the National Ballet of China in Beijing and toured throughout Tasmania, Poland, Cyprus, USA, Germany, and, of course Ireland. I have danced extensively with Rex Levitates Dance Company, Coisceim Dance Theatre, Catapult Dance Company, Marguerite Donlon and dancers, Irish Modern Dance Theatre, Daghdha Dance Company and Opera Ireland. I have also choreographed the duet, "Tender Hooks of Honesty" for the 2003 Dublin Fringe which won the prestigious Jane Snow award.

I gained my Pilates training at the BODYFIRM™ Pilates studio under master trainer Joyce Gavin and most recently re-trained in STOTT™ Pilates. I have attended the pre /post natal courses and regularly work with pregnant clients on a one to one basis and in small groups.

“Pilates has radically changed the way I use my body in everyday life and in Dance. Having had several small injuries I was left with lots of pain throughout my body which I just thought was the pay off for dancing, however since starting Pilates my pain is all but gone and I am much more aware of how to protect my joints in everyday life. I would recommend Pilates to anyone!”

Born and raised in rural Alaska, Deirdre Murphy has been dancing since early childhood. After completing a BA in Theatre at University of Alaska, she moved to Chicago to begin her professional dance career. She danced there with the company Deeply Rooted, where she engaged deeply in a variety of techniques including Pilates, Graham, Horton,and Dunham. In 2000 she moved to San Francisco, where she continued to dance independently and with the Incarnadine Collective, performing throughout the western United States.

Deirdre did her first yoga teacher training, in Ashtanga Yoga, at this time, and began her teaching career. Continual interests in athletic techniques such as capoiera, acrobatics, contact improvisation, and low flying release technique and the more physically demanding forms of yoga have marked her career and physical interests.

In Dublin, she began to explore the world of aerial dance, dancing with the Cork based integrated company Croi Glan, and has performed her own work in numerous venues throughout Ireland, Canada, and the USA. She began teaching Pilates in 2006, training with Susan Church, after realising that the continual practice of Pilates was key to maintaining an injury-free body. She has furthered her yoga teaching through additional trainings with David Swenson, and Erich Schiffman, and consistent self practice. Her physical practice keeps her grounded and happy through the rigours of raising her two small sons. She emphasises self inquiry and self knowledge through her classes, which are both light hearted and challenging.

Flying yoga uses the benefits of Pilates core work, with the additional elements of partner acrobatics, thai massage, yoga asana, and acrobatic and theraputic partner flying. Each class includes a thorough warm up, based in yoga, Pilates, and acrobatics, of strength and flexibility training, before moving into partner flying. A calm and open mindset is created. The class is exciting and refreshing, with a freeing sense of exploration and play.
