<strong>Congratulations to Lee Hopkins who has been nominated as Biomechanics Coach™ of the Month! </strong>

<strong>Biography in brief</strong>

<em>My name is Lee Hopkins and I am a fitness professional and sports therapist based in the South West area of London</em>

<em>I have been in the industry for more than 20 years in many different roles ranging from a massage therapist, personal trainer, weight lifting coach, Pilates and yoga teacher, Les Mills presenter and a posture analysis lecturer. </em>

<em>I have always had a passion for movement and a desire to understand how the human body moves/functions and now base a lot of my personal and client training on this knowledge.</em>

<strong>What made you choose <a href="https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/biomechanics-coach/" target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/biomechanics-coach/" rel="noopener">Biomechanics Coaching™</a>? </strong>

<em>During my career I came across Rachel France who introduced me to the concept of biomechanical screening. Her passion and knowledge really resonated with me and prompted me to undertake a Biomechanics Coach</em><em>™</em><em> Diploma which lead me to completing all of the courses available including the iMoveFreely</em>® <em> programme, which has completely changed the way I move, train and think about the body. </em>

<strong>What do you specialise in outside of <a href="https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/biomechanics-coach/" target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/biomechanics-coach/" rel="noopener">Biomechanics Coaching™?</a></strong>

<em>I specialise in Hatha yoga, Vinyasa flow and ‘Scaravelli inspired’ yoga as well as </em>

<em>Pilates reformer, matt and floor classes and private tuition.</em>

<em>I also work on resistance, strength and conditioning including kettlebells and suspension training, boxing one to one and am a qualified sports massage therapist. </em>

<strong>Where do you see yourself in 10 years from now?</strong>

<em>In 10 years from now my aim is to run my own studio in which I’m using my intrinsic biomechanics knowledge on a daily basis with clients to help them achieve an optimum level of fitness, movement and a deeper understanding of how their body works both as private tuition and yoga therapy.</em>

<strong>What would be your advice for somebody thinking of becoming a <a href="https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/biomechanics-coach/" target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/biomechanics-coach/" rel="noopener">Biomechanics Coach™</a>? </strong>

<em>I would advise anyone wishing to become a Biomechanics Coach™ to be prepared for hard work that requires dedication and patience and to have the ability to look outside the box as well as a genuine love and interest for the human body.</em>

<strong>On the journey to where you are now what have been your achievements?</strong>

<em>One of my key achievements was working for Les Mills as a Trainer/Presenter in Bodybalance and Body Pump.</em>

<em>Through the education and training I have completed I have developed my own knowledge to allow me to work across the country lecturing in anatomy, movement, posture and yoga for Drummond Education</em>

<em>Having dedicated time to my own yoga practice and learning I have been head hunted to work on a yoga/mindfulness retreat, which I am proud to say I am a part of once a month.</em>

<strong>Tell us a secret…………..</strong>

<em>I used to compete in Latin American ballroom dancing. </em>
