THE TEAM

SARAH

Pilates Instructor

Sarah’s initial introduction to Pilates was on the recommendation of her osteopath to address non-specific lower back pain. Through learning the correct techniques of strengthening, mobilising and focusing on good posture and proper breathing, Sarah became pain free. She also became inspired and Pilates became her passion.  Constantly wanting to expand her knowledge, she completed her mat training in 2005 with Body Control and gained full Studio Certification at Pilates off The Square. She is also a Level 4 Back Care specialist.

Sarah’s fascination in movement and curiosity and drive to expand her understanding has led to her attending professional development courses in Special Populations, Pre and Post-Natal and Back Care. She is currently exploring Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation and Anatomy In Motion Gait Analysis.

She loves working with people and is deeply committed to progressing and empowering her clients to move well and to feel better and stronger within themselves.

ROLAND

Pilates Instructor

Roland discovered Pilates when he had a rotator cuff injury and had a successful recovery. He had been a personal trainer for some years beforehand, and wanted to learn more about the body, and how to return to health, and bring people back from injury. Roland also loved the strength that it gave him which really helped with his martial arts passion, and Brazilian jiu jitsu competitions. Pilates movements seemed natural and functional to him, pleasing to perform and he knew he had found something that would be with him for the rest of his days. He is very much into functional anatomy and movement, biomechanics and imagery
