An instructor since 2011, Alice Talkington has taught in half a dozen countries across three continents. During her 1000-hour apprenticeship with Romana’s Pilates at Drago’s Gymnasium (True Pilates New York) she trained with former students of Joseph Pilates such as Jay Grimes (1940-2024) and Edwina Fontaine (1928-2014). After welcoming her daughter into the world in Vienna, Alice moved to Munich with her and led a postpartum course there for almost two years. In 2015, she organised Germany’s first Contrology conference with Gratz Pilates as the equipment sponsor. While living in Berlin until 2018, Alice’s Pilates coach and mentor was Moses Urbano, who is still friend today. In 2019 Alice completed the first three levels of ELDOA, a revolutionary technique to decompress the joints. She has been practicing Ashtanga Yoga since 2002 and believes that a great teacher is a lifelong student, keen learner, and someone guided by a steady practice.
