Bio

I help committed Pilates teachers grow in confidence as teachers and studio owners in line with their core values. My life has always revolved around movement. I started my career as a dancer and teacher. Then I discovered Pilates in 1995 with Lesley Ackland in London. While living in the USA I completed a formal comprehensive qualification with Physicalmind Institute. The training is based on the work of Eve Gentry, an original Master Instructor who had worked with Joseph Pilates for 22 years. In 2002, I undertook further training with the PhysicalMind Institute in New York with Lesley Powell and became a teacher trainer. In 2008 I sat the National Certified Pilates Teacher exam. This is the only third-party certification available to Pilates professionals and is based in the USA. I am also a qualified Myofascial Release Therapist and Pilates business coach. I returned to New Zealand and established Hearts and Bones Pilates Centre in 2002. Pilates helped me heal from injuries. I used this knowledge to help a friend in a hospital battling cancer. In a moment of clarity, he looked at me and said. ‘Tania, you are a great dance teacher, but this, this is what you should be doing.’ This moment changed my life forever. I love training teachers to help people have positive movement experiences. This approach to life gives me purpose and I live it with gratitude every day. I am committed to helping Pilates teachers find their unique voice within our industry so we can keep helping people to make positive changes in their lives through movement. Being a part of shaping Pilates in New Zealand as an interim committee member of Pilates Aotearoa is a dream come true. Having a unified voice based on shared core values makes us stronger
