ABOUT ME
I have always been involved in movement and dance having trained in Classical Ballet, Theatrical, Jazz and Tap dancing. My first career as a professional dancer took me travelling to many places around the world. Once home in Perth I continued professional dancing and teaching dance. Then in my 30s, with work and family life taking priority, my body changed, I was not as strong and flexible.
It was then that I started practicing and fell in love with the Pilates method. I was SO amazed at the changes in my body once I started Pilates. So quickly I became strong again, especially gaining core strength. It had the lengthening and strengthening benefits of dance training but suitable for anyone. Because of this love of Pilates, I continued my training and completed my qualifications as a Pilates practitioner so I could share this joy with others!
I have since studied other disciplines which compliment my Pilates such as Hatha/Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Pilates and Sound meditation, which all help to integrate the mind/body connection.
WHY PILATES?
Pilates is suitable for all levels of fitness. From athletes, anyone involved movement and sports, to complete beginners, just starting on their fitness journey. It can be used to strengthen particular areas, rehabilitate following an injury or compliment other training activities. It also creates a connection between mind and body, which is a perfect way to switch off and create some balance in your life.
So not only do you get stronger and move better, but you feel amazing!
STUDIO CLASSES
The reformer classes are held in a lovely private studio maximum 6 people per class, so you can experience hands-on professional guidance and attention from all our qualified instructors. Reformer Pilates is a wonderful mindful exercise that will help you achieve better posture, balance, flexibility and strength by helping you build longer, leaner muscles. It will change the way your body feels almost immediately. It is suitable for anybody starting a new exercise regime. I will introduce new challenges into the repertoire each week to build strength.
Reformer Pilates classes are available 6 days a week, Monday to Saturday.
We have two Barre Classes on the timetable, Barre Burn and Barre Fit:
-
Barre Burn is small Ballet-based moves at the Barre to create a body sculpting workout, to get the heart rate up a little higher and feel the heat. Then finish on the floor with an amazing stretch session.
-
Barre Fit will use more movement away from the Barre, incorporating cardio fitness, such as lights weights and pushups! Both classes offer high energy and great tunes!
These classes are suitable for everyone. No dance experience necessary!
We are the first and only Yin Pilates studio in WA. As an endorsed Yin Pilates instructor it is something I am very passionate about, You will release tight muscles, increase flexibility and enjoy deep guided relaxation and stillness of mind. Deep, effective and safe stretches for the entire body will have you feeling relaxed, restored and rejuvenated! Finishing with a guided meditation.
Yin Pilates classes are available once a week, bookings are essential!
