EAT. DRINK. PILATES - 2016

/ TRUE PILATES SYDNEY/

It has been 3 years since True Pilates Sydney opened its studio doors in Surry Hills, Sydney. To celebrated this milestone, we created the event idea of EAT. DRINK. PILATES. It was a night to honour and acknowledge the many thanks we owe to our clients, friends and the Pilates community for their continued support and dedication. 

The night was a melting pot of different people — all of which came with a common Spirit of Pilates. Clients came (minus active wear) in their dedication to Pilates. Friends of the studio came with curiosity and the Pilates community of the Romana’s Pilates came in full force to show their support.

The title of the event EAT. DRINK. PILATES couldn't have been more accurate. We ate, we drank and then we… (well — Cole Mccallion and I) did Pilates as a demonstration.

Also — thank you to Master trainer Cynthia Lochard who participated in our demonstration. Cynthia has been there from the very start of my Pilates journey and still remains my powerhouse of encouragement and guidance to this day. 

Thank you again to all of the clients that have been part of True Pilates Sydney’s journey. We are very fortunate and proud to be in such fabulous company. We look forward to seeing you at EAT. DRINK. PILATES 2017!

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.
