i am one of those people who just loves the work that i do, teaching others how to move with ease and to find true posture. i strongly believe that personal mobility can and should be pain free, this is what drives me.

i was introduced to pilates during my time as a classical ballet dancer, this naturally evolved from simply enhancing my own strength and conditioning to teaching. i couldn't believe how my ballet body responded and i was instantly drawn into this incredible method of mentally focused body movement.

my interest in passing on the experience i had so benefitted from led to me gaining a diploma in studio and mat work pilates through the national pilates training program. my experience is now 13 years young and covers teaching and learning from afl teams, personal trainers, rehabilitation (including pre/post surgery) diastasis (abdominal separation) healing, pre post pregnancy and educating at schools for the younger population.

I started teaching pilates in 2002 just after I left my professional career of 10 years with The Australian Ballet Company.

I had conditioned my body with pilates throughout my ballet career from age 15.

Pilates also helped me to recover from any injuries, strengthened weaker muscles and released tension in overworked ones leading to a more balanced muscle development.

Pilates is the perfect foundation for everyone as it focuses on deep core activation which supports the spine and pelvis.

It's also a mind-body connection which increases alignment and movement, which is crucial when recovering from injuries.

Incorporated with my ballet school in Armidale NSW was a pilates Mat studio called Vintage Pilates ( All things old come back new) It offered strength and 

conditioning classes for all dance students and clients of all ages.

After I closed The New England Ballet School in 2006 I decided to do my formal training with Studio Pilates.

I attained all certifications in pilates including Advanced Mat, Advanced Reformer, Band Ball & Circle.

I have worked across all of VIC teaching all styles of pilates including clinical pilates.

Hi! I am Jo. Mother of two gorgeous little girls, living in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. We
left Australia in 2006 and recently returned in 2024 after many fun adventures. I have always
been a soul – seeker, continually seeking connection to spirit, questioning the purpose of
life and determined to not stop until I had some pretty good answers. After realising the
the corporate world was not for me, I travelled to various places on a spiritual quest of sorts, to
meditate and practise spiritual arts. Eventually I studied yoga in India in 2008 after which I
returned to the Swiss Alps to set up a holistic health and wellbeing studio. I did this for over
12 years managing the studio, teaching yoga, and giving massages and reiki. My yoga
practice has very much changed with the period of life that I am in. I studied Ashtanga,
Power yoga before children, then restorative yoga and pregnancy yoga while having
children. And now in motherhood I find a releasing hatha style balances out the busyness of
being a mum. During classes I may draw from several approaches to adapt to the energy of
the moment. My intention is always to quieten the mind by deeply connecting it to breath and
body and to encourage people to find ways to continue the spiritual journey beyond the yoga
mat in class.

Angelyn was introduced to meditation, yoga and pilates in 2008 after giving birth to her first child.

At that time, she was experiencing post-natal blues and was going through the steep learning curve of becoming a new mum. She found a lot of comfort through the positivity shared in a class environment. The physical practices also helped affirm the belief that she is stronger than she realised. This was the spark for her career change, from being a software engineer, to being yoga and mat pilates teacher.

Inspired by her personal experience, Angelyn wishes to help others strengthen their mind and body through yoga and pilates. Angelyn delivers classes that are dynamic and challenging for the body yet nurturing for the mind.
