Hi, I’m Lisa! 👋
My love of movement actually started with yoga. I was completely yoga-obsessed while living in Hong Kong and began my yoga teacher training there. Then COVID hit, I found myself back in Sydney, discovered Pilates… and a new obsession was born! Almost three years into teaching, I still genuinely love what I do — and I’ve been lucky enough to call Reform Engadine home for over a year now. 🤍
You’ll find me teaching Reformer Pilates, Hot Mat Pilates and Restore, and if there’s one thing you can expect from my classes, it’s probably the unexpected! One day we might be loading up the springs and grabbing the heavy weights, the next I’ll have you on a light spring wondering why your entire body is shaking through a balance challenge. 😂 I love keeping movement interesting, challenging and fun — and I’ll always find a way to make you giggle while we’re doing hard things.
My own relationship with movement hasn’t always been straightforward. I’ve experienced weight struggles after having my babies, along with ongoing neck and back issues, which has given me an even greater appreciation for what our bodies are capable of. I’m a big believer that Pilates is for every body and every level, and creating a warm, welcoming space where people feel comfortable to move, challenge themselves and have a laugh is really important to me.
My yoga roots are never too far away either. I love weaving elements of Yin, stretching, breath and mindfulness into my teaching — sometimes our bodies and minds need slowing down just as much as they need strengthening.
Outside the studio, I’m Mum to my two little humans, Phoenix, 7, and Ziggy, 3, and two cats, Kevin and Zoe. You’ll usually find me near the beach with a coffee in hand — or, depending on the time of day, a coconut margarita. 🌴😂 I’m also a sucker for a true-crime documentary and will happily dance like absolutely no one is watching when given a dance floor.
If you leave one of my classes thinking, “That was bloody hard… but man, she made me laugh while I was doing it,” then I’ve done my job. 🤍
