My name is Bethia Hope-Rollins. My Pilates career began in 2001 when, after a short period of working in the office environment post university, I realised that a sedentary lifestyle was not for me. I found Pilates and rekindled the love of movement I had as a child and teenager when I had practiced gymnastics and then Kung Fu.
Now, more than twenty years on, I am a comprehensively qualified teacher of Matwork, Equipment and Pre & Postnatal Pilates. I am also a Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS) certified exercise specialist, a Hypopressives trainer and have most recently spent a year deepening my understanding of fascia with MovingFascia and their embodied anatomy diploma.
I believe I bring a wealth of experience to my teaching. I have worked with hundreds of clients over the years, from all walks of life, choosing Pilates in order to improve their movement for a whole host of differing reasons. I am passionate about helping people to realise their movement potential and feel in doing so I can contribute to my clients living more dynamic and healthy lives.
I have also held the privileged position of being a mentor and educator for Polestar Pilates UK since 2009. I am part of the Polestar team, educating the Gateway and Mat Pilates training courses in the UK. My mentoring role enables me to support the professional growth of teachers in training, developing their teaching skills alongside their own movement ability. It is a rewarding position to be in.
Along the way I have also created my own professional workshops to support Pilates teachers ‘working with pre and postnatal woman in the Pilates environment’. I have trained as a Doula, to provide support to women through pregnancy, labour and birth, and I am raising my own three wonderful daughters.
In 2016 I co-founded Dynamic Osteopathy Cambridge (DOC) with my husband Daniel Rollins. DOC is an osteopathic clinic with ‘in house’ Pilates studio in central Cambridge, UK. Our hope was to provide an environment where we, and other like-minded and skilled practitioners could work alongside each other in order to widen the scope to provide the public with intelligent exercise and holistic osteopathic treatment. It is a modern, spacious and inviting environment to work in and we have a wonderful community of clients and patients.
