Meet Paul McLinden ARAD PDTD

Pilates mentor & teacher

“I started dancing at the age of 8, and fell in love with movement in all its different forms, and knew the advantages of working out regularly and creating a stretch routine that was suitable to avoid injury, stay in shape and be the best dancer I could be. I remember falling in love with the reformer, it felt like doing a ballet barre lying down. The ability to strengthen and align your muscles in such a smooth and controlled way was unlike anything I had tried before. Throughout my dance career, Pilates not only kept me in shape and on top form, but most importantly I avoided injuries and joint replacements.”
After completing his training at London’s top Ballet School, Central School of Ballet, Paul went on to become a top professional ballet dancer, touring the UK and Europe for many years. He then became an internationally renowned ballet teacher, after training at the famous Royal Academy of Dance, London. Paul went on to tour, mentoring and teaching professionally throughout the UK, Europe, USA, Australia and Asia.
