About Inner Grace by Emily Spriggs

About Me

Hello, I’m Emily. I’m a london based Pilates teacher with a background in professional dance and a deep love for mindful movement. I’m a caring, intuitive teacher who truly enjoys supporting people to feel confident, seen, and safe in their bodies. Creating a welcoming, supportive space in my classes is very important to me, and I love helping students reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels kind, empowering, and sustainable.

My own journey with movement began through dance and took me through classical ballet training at Elmhurst Ballet School and contemporary dance training at London Contemporary Dance School. After dancing professionally with companies including English National Ballet and Danish Dance Theatre, I was naturally drawn to explore movement in a more holistic and nourishing way, which led me into teaching Yoga and Pilates.

What I’m Like as a Teacher

My teaching style blends classical and contemporary Pilates with yoga and dance influences. I create flowing, mindful classes that build strength, mobility, and body awareness, while always offering options so students feel supported at every stage. I’m passionate about helping people feel confident in their movement, develop trust in their bodies, and find joy in moving whether they’re completely new or highly experienced.

Pre & Postnatal Movement 

Supporting women through pregnancy and postnatal recovery is at the heart of my work. Teaching pre and postnatal Pilates and yoga has always been important to me, but becoming a mother myself has deepened this passion even further. After giving birth to my daughter Mila, I experienced first hand how much the body changes, how vulnerable returning to movement can feel, and how essential gentle, progressive exercise is in rebuilding strength. 

This lived experience now shapes how I teach. I’m deeply passionate about offering safe, nurturing movement that supports recovery, rebuilds confidence, and helps women feel strong, supported, and connected during this transformative stage of life.
