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.

A few years into my practice, I qualified as an instructor in Sydney, but 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.
