The Legend
"Nature has endowed human beings with a backbone, but few realise that state of perfection in which this "ridgepole" of a human "house" may properly grow into normal, straight form as nature intended. Even fewer understand the mechanism of spine and proper methods of training this foundation of the body."
Joseph Pilate'sAbout Shayna
"As a child I loved the freedom of movement, believing I could fly at night after everyone had gone to bed.
I have memories of flying out of my bedroom window and over empty streets and moonlit coastlines. The feeling of the body moving freely through space has always appealed to me - walking ,riding, swimming, dancing - my body is always happiest through movement.
It was my sister that introduced me to Pilates, she had been attending classes and showed me some of the exercises. I could not make it to Pilates classes at the time, so I practiced at home on the carpet. My son would crawl under my legs as I lifted them, he enjoyed it as much as I did.
During stressful times I would draw on Pilates. I found it helped me with anxiety. It stilled my mind and made me aware of my posture and the movement of my body.It was after my son started school that I attended classes at a Pilates studio, which enriched my passion for of it. I soon knew this passion would become my career path.
In 2011, I began my study into Pilate's. It was hard work and challenging at times, but with a little perseverance I graduated.
I was lucky enough to find a job teaching while I was completing my training. In 2014, I opened my very own studio.
I still continue to grow in my knowledge of the body. I am inspired and in awe of our bodies capacity to grow, heal, learn, remember and influence our state of mind. Pilates for me is a gift given to the world by Joesph Pilates, for all to love, share and embrace. It is not a fashion statement or a get fit quick scheme. It is a movement to be learned and enjoyed."
