Keen to avoid surgery following a running injury, Angela looked to Pilates as a way to rehabilitate and balance muscle. By the second week, Angela knew this was a form of therapy she wanted to pursue professionally. Since then, Angela has gained her Diploma in Professional Pilates Instruction from Polestar Pilates Australia. Angela is now both an Assistant Educator and Mentor for Polestar Pilates.

Angela brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience as an operating room nurse. Her clinical specialities are diverse and include urology, cardio-thoracic, orthopaedics, general surgery, obstetrics, and robotics. Angela combines this broad knowledge base with Pilates and uses this comprehension of surgery to help clients prepare for surgery and assist them in recovery.

Angela performed for eight years with Opera Australia as a professional opera singer and appreciates the importance of breath in facilitating movement as well as the vitality of the breath-body connection.

Angela’s philosophy towards Pilates is that it can benefit everyone and that it’s less about moving perfectly and more about moving optimally for the individual.

Alyna has been dancing since she was six years old and started her training in Sydney, Australia and then progressed to the Boston, Ballet School in the USA, and the English National Ballet in London. Dancing ‘Swan Lake’ at the Royal Albert Hall in front of the Queen was a career highlight.

Alyna was first introduced to Pilates when she was twelve years old. During her time in London, whilst studying and dancing with The English National Ballet School, Pilates became part of her daily training.

It was through the exploration of Pilates that Alyna became intrigued by the movements, muscle strength and muscle lengthening Pilates provided. Alyna recognized the benefits of Pilates and the well-being it created.

Alyna completed her accreditation of Diploma of Pilates teacher training at Polestar Pilates Australia and achieved the status of a Polestar Mentor. Alyna founded her own successful Pilates Studio, which she owned and directed for over eight years. Alyna currently also runs a host of online Pilates classes.

Back in her best friend’s lounge room circa 2001, Teresa popped on a Mari Winsor Pilates VHS and started counting to 100. Here, she found her core, along with her love of Pilates. Teresa continued mastering her personal practice, discovering the myriad benefits of ‘Contrology’ for both the body and the mind.

Teresa then decided to turn her hobby into her career to share this passion. She completed her studies with Polestar Pilates in 2019 and holds their Studio Certification. As she started to teach Teresa realised, she wanted to understand the Pilates method even more and how it came to be, so took the next step in her journey to learn the Classical system under the mentorship of Olga Tamara of Authentic Pilates Education International. Teresa is fully certified from basic to advanced level and is a proud 3rd Generation Pilates Teacher.

Teresa will focus on the ‘why’ in your session, not just the how, to ensure a truly individualised and tailored Pilates prescription.

Besides Pilates, Teresa loves curling up with a good book, preferably by the beach!

Teresa can’t wait to meet you, share her love of Pilates with you, and guide you through your own Pilates journey.

It’s our attention to detail, personalised care and movement programs for everyone and everybody that sets us apart from other Pilates studios.
