CHEEKY PILATES MONKEY - 2016

/ True Pilates Sydney/

Following the season of merriment, I hope everyone has fronted up to 2016 with a fresher perspective and ready for what is to be the year of Cheeky Fire Monkey. Happy New Year to all — off the cuff short wishlist for 2016!

LESS; 

  1. Obsession with being ‘Young, skinny and beautiful’

  2. Women dressing like toddlers wearing super short shorts. 

  3. Rubbish — on and off the street

  4. Science experiments passing for food 

  5. Emoticons and Post-80's kids’ acronyms 

  6. Children eating junk food

  7. Trendoids slash hipsters

MORE; 

  1. Cursive handwriting

  2. “Thank you”

  3. “Please”

  4. “Excuse me”

  5. “Can I help you?”

  6. Getting the drift? — human manners and kindness

On a more serious note, my top ten ‘hopes and aspirations’ for 2016 are...well, there are only really three.

TO BE;

  1. Mindful of the ethics of eating

  2. Courageous in life, work and play

  3. REAL

I spent most of my academic years studying Fine Art in various disciplines. I completed my Post graduate in Visual Arts majoring in Photography and minored in drawing. I continued this line of study into Visual Comunication and further my art skill base with Jewellery and Object making. During this time, I worked on commissioned paintings for corporate, commercial environments as an Interior consultant and decorator to which I also was commissioned to paint for for Private collections. My historical professional background stemmed in the hospitality industry - where I managed restaurants. It was during this time that I found Pilates having injured my back at work. In 2008, I started my apprenticeship under the tutelage of Master Teacher trainer Cynthia Lochard (2nd Generation teacher). My training was rigorous with culmative observational hours, training and practiced teaching of over 1000 hours before certifying. Since my Pilates certification in 2009, I maintain my weekly session with Cynthia Lochard and travel to New York every two years (most recently October 2014) to partake in intensive training at the Head Quarters for Romana's Pilates at True Pilates New York originally know as Drago's. It is here, I continue my tutelage with Master Teacher Trainers Jerome Weinberg & Cynthia Shipley who worked closely with the late Romana Kryzanowska herself. In NYC - October 2014 - I also had a chance to work with Peter Fiasca Founder of Classical Pilates. As well as NYC, I have travelled to Singapore, Paris, London and trained with international teachers. In 2013, I opened True Pilates Sydney Studio, because I felt there were very few Pilates studios in Sydney that focused on the True Pilates Method - hence I named the studio 'True Pilates Sydney'. Through my own teachings I hope to inspire, train and educate others in the art of Pilates as I have been inspired in my own training and journey.
