AMANDA RENAR

​

I first trained in dance at Laine Theatre Arts in the UK, where I went on to work as a professional dancer and gained my A.I.S.T.D. teaching qualifications in Ballet and Modern Dance. I later trained as a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer, gaining qualifications in Exercise and Health Studies and Exercise to Music.

My career in fitness began in London and then took me around the world, teaching on board a variety of cruise ships sailing the Caribbean, Pacific, Mediterranean and beyond.

I discovered Pilates after having my two children and quickly became passionate about its benefits. I loved how each class left me feeling stronger, more aware of my body and with improved posture. In 2016, I decided to take my passion further and trained as a Stott Pilates Instructor. The internationally recognised training was both challenging and hugely rewarding.

Since then, I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for Pilates with people of all ages and abilities. I teach small group classes and private one-to-one sessions, both in person and online.

In 2018, I added Total Barre to my qualifications. Barre combines elements of dance, fitness and Pilates with upbeat music to create a fun, dynamic and effective full-body workout.

Today, I teach a variety of classes including Mat Pilates, Barre and Standing Pilates in Vence and Saint-Paul-de-Vence, as well as online. I have many years of experience working with a wide range of clients, from children and beginners to seniors and those with individual needs and considerations.

I also hold a CQP (Certificat de Qualification Professionnelle) Animateur de Loisir Sportif, a professional qualification recognised in France.

I love helping people feel stronger, more confident and more connected to their bodies — and most importantly, helping them enjoy moving!
