Karen Smith was a dancer with The Royal Ballet until a serious car accident broke her neck and left her temporarily paralysed. Through exercise and fitness methods she made a full recovery, in particular using Pilates to rebuild both her body and her confidence, and in doing so found her new career. She now runs a successful Pilates studio in London. She has studied complementary medicine, anatomy and physiology, and is a fully qualified masseuse, aromatherapist and reflexologist. She is the author of Body and Soul: a Woman’s Guide to Staying Young (1997), Massage: the Healing Power of Touch (1999), The Easy Stretching Workbook (2004), and the recent Live Better: Pilates (2006).
