Josie McKenlay

With nearly 40 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every course I teach. I began my career as an aerobics instructor in London before training extensively in Pilates and yoga in the late 1990s. Since then, I’ve built a diverse portfolio of clients, delivering private classes across London and the Middle East, and contributing a lifestyle column to a Dubaibased sports newspaper.

My passion is helping people improve their wellbeing through safe, evidencebased movement practices. Over the years, I’ve expanded my expertise with training in aerial yoga, selfmyofascial release therapy, Barre, indoor cycling, and special populations, including seniors, pre- and postnatal clients, and those managing chronic health conditions.

Teaching on Udemy allows me to share this knowledge globally in an accessible, affordable way. My courses are designed to empower fitness professionals with practical tools to adapt their skills for diverse populations — from senior fitness training and exercise adaptations for older adults to back care, postural assessment, and nutrition education.
