Shezre studied ballet for 12 years from the age of three, so when she was first introduced to Pilates in 2008 she instantly fell in love with its beautiful, controlled movements. After years of studying she was suffering from chronic neck and back pain, so she turned to mat and reformer Pilates and was amazed by how effective they were in helping her recover.

Shezre was keen to gain more anatomical knowledge and to learn how to use all of the Pilates apparatus to take care of herself and others, so her instructor pointed her in the direction of Polestar UK. She completed the Polestar Gateway and Comprehensive Courses at Moss Pilates in 2015 and became a fully certified Polestar Studio Practitioner in 2017.

Shezre is a qualified Counsellor, and a registered Family & Systemic Psychotherapist, so she is able to incorporate her knowledge of mental health into her Pilates teaching.
