Polly Matteson
Polly Matteson originally trained as a contemporary dancer, and was first introduced to Pilates as a student. The technique had such a positive impact on her dance practice and outlook on life that she decided to train as a matwork teacher at the Scott Studio. The Pilates Foundation training attracted her not only because she has a dance/movement background and a love of Pilates, but because of the bias towards the remedial and specialised application of the technique. Polly believes that ‘the somatic and holistic approach of mind/body integration associated with Pilates is instrumental in empowering the client to initiate change from within through increased body awareness’. She is presently furthering her Pilates studies by undertaking the studio equipment training. In the future Polly would love to do an MA in Dance.
