Saskia Gregson-Williams
Saskia Gregson-Williams is a professionally trained ballerina and personal trainer. Alongside her dance training, Saskia has always been passionate about health and wellbeing. She founded the award-winning online Health & Fitness website Naturally Sassy and released her debut cookbook published by Penguin-Random House in 2015. Saskia's journey with fitness took an interesting turn when she experienced a recurring injury in ballet that led her to explore new ways of training. This inspired her to create Ballet Blast, a powerful program for her own recovery. Combining her classical ballet background with strength and cardio work, Saskia started developing routines that yielded incredible physical results. As she shared her method with friends, colleagues, and clients from diverse backgrounds and goals, the popularity of Ballet Blast grew and blossomed into the launch of the Naturally Sassy Studio, and now Grace and Form.
