Sabina Bird

I have always loved movement and I enjoy sport and exercise in just about any form (even when I’m not very good at it). Our bodies want to move and our minds are happiest in a body that can move freely! I am endlessly fascinated by the human body and the power and complexity not only of the body but of the mind that inhabits it. When the two are working together, amazing things can happen.

After gaining two Masters degrees (Cambridge and London) I worked in London for 6 years, first as an education adviser to the government and then as a management consultant. I was then fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to focus on what I am really passionate about and I retrained as a Personal Fitness Trainer in South Africa.

I started up my own business, VitalEnergy, in 2000 and have continued to work in it since then, adding other qualifications along the way. First it was Pilates, then Yoga, and most recently Intrinsic Biomechanics. I believe in constant learning so that I can be of most service to my clients.
Fifteen years and two children later I am still just as passionate about what I do. I feel stronger and happier in my body now than I ever have done so I know that age does not have to be a barrier to feeling great!

My classes and sessions are fun-filled and light-hearted despite the fact that our hard work is most definitely serious! My aim is that you always leave a session feeling much better than when you started.
