About me: Hi!! I am a pilates instructor and former professional dancer. My dance career was cut short due to a knee injury, which at the time really broke my heart. Pilates helped me to heal and now I am a full time pilates instructor with my own studio!!!
I have two different certificates in Pilates (Polestar and Stott).
After accelerating my career in Pilates, the development of a bulging disc in my lumbar spine (between L5 and S1) prompted me to completely re-evaluate what I have learned and current training methods. To facilitate this evaluation, I am furthering my studies in pilates completing a Certificate IV in Pilates with Pilates International as well as researched into spine pathologies, studying anatomy, and increasing my knowledge on the mechanics of the spine and associated injuries.
I LOVE PILATES so much that I want the whole world to experience the benefits of it and how wonderful it is!!! I am currently teaching a training course for level one Reformer and level two Mat Pilates through the Melbourne School of Sport and Recreation Management. Hopefully this will bring pilates to more people!!!
Who I'd like to meet:
PEOPLE WANTING TO FEEL MORE ALIVE, HEALTHY, STRONG, RELAXED and ENERGISED!!!
YOUR PILATES PROGRAM is customized to help you develop a supple and strong body, no matter what age or stage of your life.
YOUR BODY goes through many stages. Working from the inside out, Pilates exercises initiate from the pelvic floor and the transversus abdominis engaging. The transversus abdominis is the deepest layer of abdominals, it wraps around your torso like your own internal corset. By engaging the transversus during each exercise you will strengthen your core as well as develop a flatter structure to your abdominals. Pilates programs are customized (taking into account your age, health history, alignment, and fitness goals) to make you more streamlined, well aligned, stronger, and feeling more alive and energized.
PILATES IS FOR pregnancy, to regain shape after childbirth, sedentary lifestyles, stress relief, computer posture, runners and golfers, sport and dance, injuries and rehabilitation, improved performance, slimming and toning, improved posture, scoliosis, stretching thght muscles, strengthening weak muscles, lowerback, neck, knee pain, and fibromyalgia. Pilates is for boys as well as girls. It is for all stages of your life and fitness level.
JOSEPH HUBERTUS PILATES invented the first piece of Pilates equipment by rigging springs to hospital beds, thus enabling bedridden patients to exercise against resistance. Now you can attend studio sessions that employ a variety of equipment from the Cadillac, Wunder Chair and Reformer Bed that work against spring loaded resistance to streamline, strengthen and stretch the entire body.
Let me challenge and extend you, contributing to your overall fitness and wellbeing.
