Pilates is Emma's passion and she has written several accredited Pilates instructor training courses for her international company, Pilates Union. Her 8 published Pilates manuals and DVD's are sold all over the world.
Emma recognised the need to add an aerobic component to her existing Pilates classes in order to satisfy certain students, who were seeking a different challenge. After experimenting with various approaches, Emma decided to combine the elements of her different training qualifications over the years into one unique workout. She added to this the ballet barre exercises from her former training and set the class to high-energy music and hence BarreConcept was born. A workout, which satisfies all of the elements of fitness - strength, endurance and flexibility.
BarreConcept is the first barre course in the world to gain international accreditation. Her BarreConcept Workout manual was the first barre training manual to be published in the world and her BarreConcept DVD's are sold all over the globe.
