Deirdre Murray-Wallace - Blackhorse Road Studio Lead

I'm Deirdre (she/her), an ex-professional dancer turned Pilates instructor, originally from Sydney, Australia. With over 13 years of teaching experience across various fields, my practice bridges my interests in creativity and human biomechanics. I'm always diving into the latest research to make complex movement concepts accessible and engaging. Rooted in a values-based approach, I believe in the power of community and education. Through my work as Studio Lead at Blackhorse Rd and my London-based business Pilates & Pals, I’m committed to forging meaningful connections that go beyond physical exercise—nurturing both community and the relationships we build with our bodies and each other. In my sessions at LevelOut, you can expect a class that’s equal parts challenging, packed with anatomy facts, and grounded in mindful practice. You'll leave feeling stronger in both mind and body.
