Becky Reilly studied to be an artist in NCAD and having danced since she was a child, began her professional dance training aged 19 in the College of Dance, Dublin and subsequently Rambert School of Dance, London. On completion of her study she returned to Ireland to work with Irish Modern Dance Theatre and went on to work with New Balance Dance Company, Coisceim Dance Theatre, Catapult, Pas a Dos, Myriad, Shakram and Opera Ireland. She has taught and choreographed young and old, professionals and beginners along the way. She has also toured around Ireland, Edinburgh Festival, to Germany with Margeurite Donlon and Dancers and worked in Vienna with Danceweb and Serbia with the Island Project.

Having done courses in Pilates, her interest in teaching took off after the birth of her daughter, Jessie. She trained under Master trainer Joyce Gavin in Bodyfirm studio Dublin. After teaching in various venues around Dublin she soon realised that over filled classes were not the way to learn Pilates. She had the lucky opportunity to begin Studio 32 with Lisa to work with smaller numbers in order to give a better quality of class.

"The intense training of Pilates helped me regain my physique after childbirth and I soon realised that it improved my Posture and Body awareness to a much greater level than before. This improved my enjoyment of moving in dance and everyday life, I would recommend that everybody learn Pilates"

Tammi was born and grew up in Cape Town, South Africa. Her dad is Irish, hailing from Dublin. She started her ballet training at 5 with Ingrid Gaertner's School of Ballet, and then continued at the University of Cape Town's (UCT) ballet school, completing RAD Advanced with Honours. In 1994 Tammi was invited to join CAPAB Ballet as a full-time member, where she remained for 2 years. She performed and toured in South Africa and to Sadlers Wells, London; and represented the company in the Sanlam International Ballet Competition. After resigning from CAPAB she decided to expand her horizons and spent a year dancing in Seoul, Korea; and then 4 months dancing in Turkey.

On returning to Cape Town Tammi decided to study further and has since completed training in Massage Therapy (Aromatherapy, Swedish & Deep Tissue); Reiki (levels 1 & 2); Body Alignment Technique and Energy Release Therapy. From 1999-2002 she studied full-time with the College of Phytotherapy in the UK, successfully graduating as a medical herbalist in September 2002. On her return to Cape Town she began a private practice. It was during this time that she discovered Pilates training and was amazed at the effects it had on her body. On learning about its wider applications and benefits; ranging from injury rehabilitation, to professional sports people looking to enhance performance; to improvement of strength, posture and body shape, she decided to train as a Pilates Instructor. She completed her training in Mat 1 & 2; Accessories; Rehabilitation and Peri-Natal Pilates with Equilibrium in Cape Town.

In 2007 Tammi took time off to travel around South America, and had a fantastic year of fun and adventure. In 2008, looking for a new challenge, she decided to settle in Dublin and explore her Irish roots, with the aim of incorporating all of her skills into a busy, challenging and holistic practice. She looks forward to sharing her enthusiasm for Pilates training and the fantastic results it affords to all students; whether a new-comer to exercise, a professional sports person, someone requiring rehabilitation or support around pregnancy.

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!”
