Laraine Pilates Practitioner
I stumbled on Pilates as a rehabilitation method, following back surgery. I was so impressed with the outcome that I wanted to learn more and share the benefits of Pilates with others.
This led me to gain formal qualifications with Pilates International and join the Pilates Alliance of Australasia. Having now been involved with Pilates for over 20 years, I am continually impressed with the positive outcomes that my clients achieve.
It is a joy to coach clients to reach a new understanding of their bodies. I love helping clients reach their full potential in their strength, flexibility, posture and breathing.
Bailey GP & Pilates Practitioner
I was born and raised in Canada, but now I call Tasmania home with my husband and two kids.
I’m passionate about including Pilates in chronic disease management and helping people live stronger, healthier, happier lives through adaptive exercise. As well as practicing at Pure Pilates, I am a local GP.
When not working I enjoy walking, cooking, reading, and swimming.
Donna Pilates Practitioner
I’ve always been interested in movement and health.
My passion began in 1979 when I began to teach aerobics. This was the ‘glory days’ of the 1980s as you can imagine.
In the 1990s, I began to explore Pilates as it started to gain popularity, and soon after I gained my formal qualifications.
Since then, Pilates has taken me on a wonderful journey. I love the fact that Pilates combines movement, posture and correct technique as core parts of the teaching. And I really enjoy the hands-on, individual approach I can provide to clients.
On a personal note, I enjoy walking, Yoga, Pilates (of course), gym work, cross-stitch, knitting, crocheting and the time with my family.
