Nisha Srivastava

A Laban teacher introduced Nisha to Pilates at Dance College during her first year. Its effects were forgotten but she then re discovered Pilates through Michael King eleven years later whilst running her dance school.

Her background spans over 22 years with formal training in classical ballet, modern dance, tap, national choreography, stage production and theatre. Her formation includes Pilates, Thai Bodywork, Yoga, GYROTONIC, GYROKINESIS and Anatomical studies. Her particular interest is fascia, and the connective lines and movement patterns that allow a full moving structure rather than the isolation of bones and muscles. Her fascination with questioning the traditions of modern medicine and fascination with searching for meaningful answers has taken her in many different directions and has offered her an abundance of opportunities gaining a wealth of knowledge.

“I tried many movement modalities and extended my search after experiencing fascia, because of its simplicity in movement. Quickly, I noticed my own body changing as well as the bodies of my own clients. In the last 22 years of teaching I’ve developed a workout unique to Yoga Anatomy.

Throughout her studies Nisha has done numerous dissections with Julian Baker and Cery Davies and has the opportunity to take lectures and courses from Robert Schleip, Joanne Avison, Tom Myers, Gary Carter, Paul Chek, Dan Hellman and many more.

Nisha’s teaching method promotes reflective self-discovery and provides the requirements to integrate a shift in consciousness for attaining individual goals. She maintains that an attitude of compassion, consistency and joyous humour are excellent components to growth and expanded potential.

She welcomes all level of movers from the beginner to the seasoned athlete who have a desire to increase their skill potential, also teachers and students. Her specialties include assisting post rehabilitative individuals, injury prevention for dancers and athletes and advanced movement programs.
