About
What is Pilax & Who am I?
First, the name: Pil- Pilates, lax- relax. Pilax is a Mat series that combines Pilates and relaxation techniques. I’ve developed this style after honestly, years of hating exercise and, I’m a dancer.
My methods also come from years of dance training in New Zealand, Canada, USA and China, taking Pilates classes, training as an instructor, having physio sessions as well as techniques I have discovered myself. I’m a certified Pilates instructor through Balanced Body Pilates and I have been teaching Pilates since the pandemic. I’ve had the privilege to be exposed to a variety of methods from various teachers over the years and one of the keys things I’ve learnt in my journey is listening to my own body. I remember one day a physio gave me a book to read in the waiting room on techniques to help with fascia release. I was delighted to discover, several of those, I had naturally found myself a year prior, just through listening to my body. I’d like to invite you to come on a journey guided by myself to not only gaining better mobility, keeping up fitness but also, discovering your own strength and learning to listen to your own body.
