Have you ever wondered about Pilates?  

A series of stylised movements, that seem like a hybrid of Eastern and Western philosophies, often performed on specially designed equipment?

 Eighteen years ago when I started as a student of the method, I had no idea it would become a significant part of my daily life.

 A few years into my practice, I qualified as an instructor in Sydney  but I didn’t last long as a teacher, finding the effort of giving so intensively in the studio was a tough offset to my job as a mother of four little kids at the time.

 My very first instructor was Elizabeth Wilson at her fledgling Perth Pilates Studio. Today, with over 25 years teaching experience, Elizabeth is a senior Educator at Polestar Pilates Australia, and is the Director of the Perth Pilates Studio – which has grown exponentially since the day we first met.  

 Liz is without a doubt one of the most intelligent people I know and I love hearing her get nerdy about Pilates.

Eighteen years ago when I started as a student of the Pilates method, I had no idea how quickly it would become a significant part of my daily life.

This conversation was recorded at Sugarland Studios on 2018. Thank you Liz so much for your patience waiting for me to publish our conversation.
