ABOUT SOPHIE

Movement has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

From professional dancer and performer to ballet and Pilates teacher, my career has been built around understanding how the body moves and how intelligent movement can make women stronger for real life.

 

FROM THE STAGE TO FIRSTPOSITION

Movement has taught me more than how to move. It has taught me how to understand the body.

For more than 20 years, I worked as a professional dancer and performer, where precision, strength and body awareness were part of everyday life.

Later, as a ballet and Pilates teacher, I began to see movement differently, not simply as performance, but as a way to help people feel stronger, more capable and more confident in their own bodies.

That experience became the foundation of FirstPosition.

EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE METHOD

More than one discipline. More than one way of understanding movement.

My work brings together professional dance, classical ballet training, Pilates, strength and movement education developed across an international career.

Royal Academy of Dance Certified Ballet Teacher · STOTT Pilates Certified across Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and Barrels · Progressing Ballet Technique · Pre & Postnatal Certified

Different disciplines. One approach: intelligent movement that helps women become stronger for real life.

WHY FIRSTPOSITION

Because strength should give you more life, not take more of your life.

After years of training and teaching, I realised that most women don’t need another demanding fitness routine. They need movement that fits into their lives, movement that helps them feel strong, capable and confident without feeling they have to do everything perfectly.

FirstPosition was created around that idea.

You don’t need hours. You don’t need to punish your body. You don’t need to become someone else.

You start where you are. You move with intention. And little by little, you get stronger for real life.
