Lisa P

Senior Pilates Instructor

Lisa’s background is in Marketing, Communications and Brand. She completed her Bachelor of Arts at the University of Auckland, with a double major in Communications and Psychology. Her love for creativity has also led her to have experiences as a florist, makeup artist and in the fashion industry. Growing up, Lisa never imagined exercise would become a such a big part of her life. However, since starting practicing Pilates for a few years now as well as being an existing client to the studio, she became more and more fascinated with how the mind-to-body connection improved her strength, mobility, and confidence. As an instructor, Lisa wants to create an empowering environment, sharing her knowledge with her clients to help them achieve their goals.
