It’s never the same. We don’t feel the same every day, and I love that the reformer reflects that. It gives you space to explore ~ some days you need strength, some days control, or just a moment to reconnect. It’s a different experience every time, but the challenge always finds you.
-
Plank ~ always, and side plank better. But I love a good drop set and combo ~ heavy legs into light burns, or the kind of upper body flow that makes you question everything mid-set. I love building intensity and watching clients surprise themselves by pushing through.

I came to Australia enrolled to become an engineer, then passed through finance, and ended up with marketing - which I now practice and love.

It’s the slow and controlled movements for me and the options to make it work for our bodies (heavier or lighter). I love the total body workout the reformer can give you and slowing down those movements really helps with that mind/body connection.
-
Sphinx push up is my favourite move to teach and do in class! I love seeing the progression of my regulars as they get stronger and stronger each time we do it in class and seeing the satisfaction when they really nail the move.
-
I’m a big reader, particularly romantasy, so any recommendations you have please let me know!

Pilates was the first form of exercise that truly clicked for me. It’s no longer something I have to do—it’s something I want to do. The reformer challenges me while also giving me space to slow down, focus, and feel connected to my body. It grounds me, energises me, and I feel like the strongest version of myself, physically and mentally.
-
Anything with a scooter is a favorite of mine! The slow, controlled burn through the legs is unbeatable, and I love how it combines strength, balance, and endurance.
-
I moved around a lot growing up because of my parent’s career. It taught me how to connect with new people easily, which is something I love when it comes to teaching pilates.

Movement on the reformer, to me, is more than just physical exercise. It connects my body and mind. The rhythm of breath and movement lead to a sense of calm focus, much needed after a long busy day in a clinical workspace.
-
All sorts of lunges. From static to arabesque to curtsy lunge.
-
I work in a clinical setting during the day.

Personally, it’s a love affair. I fell in love with reformer Pilates immediately. I’m not very coordinated but I could follow the movements on the reformer
It’s challenging yet achievable but at the same time it continues to ask yourself to go little further, a little more precise, challenge yourself even more.
I also love how reformer has evolved from Joseph Pilates’ original set repertoire to incorporate other forms of movement, especially functional movement. Plus, reformer Pilates is now accessible to many, which is amazing.
-
Hmmm this is a tough one to answer.
Bent leg/straight leg kickback series on the box. It works every single muscle in your body and questions your will to live.
Equally love teaching a multilayered core series.

For me, movement on the reformer is all about connection. It’s not just about doing an exercise — it’s about syncing the body and mind so they work as one. Every push, pull, and stretch helps me feel how different muscles communicate with each other. It’s like creating a conversation between strength, stability, and flow. And then there’s the reformer itself — it becomes an extension of the body, supporting, challenging, and guiding us to move with more awareness and control.
-
Definitely a curtsy lunge — or really, any variation of lunges. I love how they fire up the glutes and legs with that delicious, spicy burn that everyone love to hate. It’s one of those moves that feels challenging in the moment but so rewarding after. Plus, lunges are versatile — can layer them with balance, core engagement, or add props to keep things fun and fresh.
-
Even though I constantly mess up my left and right when I’m teaching (seriously, it’s a running joke at this point), I promise I do know the difference! It just comes out wrong in the moment. My brain and mouth don’t always sync up — which is kind of ironic for a Pilates instructor, right? But hey, it keeps class fun and everyone on their toes.

It means a whole body challenge, including challenging the brain so that I am intently listening to cues and coordinating my movements as described by the instructor!
-
I love teaching running man planks to members who have never done it before, it can seem quite scary when you try it for the first time but everyone ALWAYS surprises themselves (and it’s a whole lot of fun).
-
You know how there are those people that are just good at everything? Well I always tell people I’m actually bad at everything hehe
