Pilates in its various forms is a great way to:

Build a Strong Core – Strengthen annd mobilise your core for optimum health & mobility.
Correct Imbalances – Train a personalised program to balance strength and posture.
Relieve Pain – Support your posture and relieve pain with a stable spine.
Recover from Injury – Regain strength & mobility with gentle and targeted exercises.
Focus – Build body awareness through your practice to destress and clear your mind.
My journey with Pilates
My first ever Pilates class was at work, during my lunch break and it was instructed by a colleague who was transtioning out of her corporate accounting role and into the world of Pilates! I guess you could say it was my first exposure to the alternate lifestyle of a movement coach.
I felt challenged and energised immediately and really enjoyed the alignment cues which brought me deeper awareness of my posture and strength. When I returned home to Australia I joined a friend at Reformer Pilates classes and although the machinery looked a little intimidating, the dynamic strength grew quickly as I consistently frequented my favourite teacher’s class. Reformer Pilates advanced my aerial circus capabilities like nothing before! Fast forward through my yoga and qigong training and here I am a qualified Pilates instructor too because all forms of movement have something to offer my own wellness and that of my clients.
