STAFF PROFILE - ANITA THOMPSON


Anita was first Introduced to Pilates by her mum. Watching her mum rehabilitate from a serious motor vehicle accident. Anita began to understand the benifits both physically and mentally that pilates could offer. After a dancing injury and two knee reconstructions Anita then experienced these benefits for herself. A love for working with people and encouraging people to regain control over their bodies was the basis for her studies in both Pilates and GYROTONIC®. She believes that both bodywork therapies complement each other and stimulate the mind body connection.
In 2008 Anita began her pilates and GYROTONIC® apprenticeship's and throughout this time has been exposed to fantastic mentors in both movement disciplines. In 2009 Anita completed her Polestar Pilates Australia training and certification in studio and mat, and gyrotonic level 1 training. Anita is a member of the Pilates Alliance of Australasia.
In June 2010 Anita completed her Diploma in Pilates Instruction through Polestar Australia and also hopes to further her GYROTONIC® training so she can continue to combine and develop her teaching skills.
When not instructing she can be found walking her dogs.
