Ahead of the trip she had taken up classes at Sandrine’s Pilates, finally finding an exercise that was enjoyable and which changed her body shape, posture and general view of physical training. On returning to the UK Jacquie took the decision to learn to teach and has since qualified through Sandrine as a PhysicalMind Institute New York instructor for Mat, Standing Pilates and equipment.
