Our Teachers
Di
Pilates Teacher/Studio Owner
With over 27 years of experience in Pilates, I bring a deep understanding of movement, anatomy, and the transformative power of mindful exercise. Holding a Diploma in Pilates Teaching, I specialize in helping clients restore their bodies to optimal function and health—whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or simply seeking greater strength and mobility.
My approach is grounded in precision, compassion, and a genuine love for helping people feel better in their bodies. I tailor each session to your unique needs, combining expert knowledge with a warm, friendly teaching style that makes every class both effective and enjoyable.
Let’s work together to realign, rebuild, and rediscover what your body is truly capable of.
I bring a good deal of humour and we have a great time, while we are feeling the magic of Pilates!
Sofie
Pilates Teacher/studio manager
My career as a Pilates teacher is such a pleasure and a privilege. I have my Certificate 1V and am working towards receiving my Diploma Qualification. Helping people feel energized; calm and have less pain motivates me to teach to the highest level; and I feel that I will never stop learning and growing as a result of this.
Pilates is for everyone, no matter their fitness level or body type, and it allows our minds and bodies to keep up with our daily routines
I'm excited to have you in my class, where we can have fun, share some laughs, and create a safe and positive environment. The focus of our sessions will be on strengthening your core, increasing your flexibility, and creating a deeper mind-body connection. We will also incorporate the six Pilates principles of Breath, Centering, Concentration, Control, Flow, and Precision through movement. I can't wait to see you soon!
Felicity
Pilates Teacher
Living on the Island, and working at Cowes, Island Pilates is an absolute delight and exciting for me!
I have been teaching Pilates since 2020 and hold the National Diploma in Contemporary Pilates teaching Methodology, recognized by the Australian Pilates Association, and look forward to helping Island Pilates clients move, and function well. I love teaching all kinds of Pilates; however, clinical/studio Pilates is probably my favorite.
Being on the Island ticks the boxes for my hobbies - taking my dog to the beach, surfing and running - It’s just the best!
I look forward to meeting you all in class!
Mark
Pilates Teacher
As a farmer and Pilates teacher, I understand the toll physical work can take on the body. I came to Pilates out of necessity—to stay mobile, strong, and connected to myself. Now I help others do the same, blending functional movement with mindful awareness to support bodies that work hard and deserve care.
I have witnessed my wife (Di) stay young and energetic – I need to do this also, plus want to help others!
