THE MVMT. STUDIO
AIMEE CHALLIES MVMT.
WELCOME
I speak the language of movement and my joy is in inspiring and guiding individuals on their unique journey of physical expression.
My creative journey began in the world of ballet, where I developed a keen eye for detail and technique through classical and contemporary ballet training.
For 20 years, I've been teaching diverse movement modalities across the UK, Europe, Australia, and NZ. My students range from professional ballet dancers and elite athletes to individuals seeking rehabilitation and women focusing on pelvic floor health and pre/postnatal wellness. I've been honoured to share my expertise at some of the most prestigious pilates, yoga, garuda studios & health clubs.
I am extremely passionate about movement education; as a former Garuda Master Training, assisting & facilitating teacher trainings. Quality instruction is a blend of knowledge, experience, empathy, and an unwavering belief in the transformative power of movement. Our bodies are invaluable assets that deserve to be nurtured and cared for.
