BA Media, Diploma of Pilates, ARAD, Grad. English National Ballet School, London

Alyna has been dancing since she was six years old and trained at the Robyn Kirkland School of Ballet in Sydney, as well as the Boston Ballet School in the USA. Dancing ‘Swan Lake’ with the English National Ballet at the Royal Albert Hall was a career highlight.

Alyna was first introduced to Pilates when she was twelve years old. It was during her time in London whilst studying and dancing with The English National Ballet School, that Pilates became part of her daily training.

It was through the exploration of Pilates that Alyna became intrigued by the movements, muscle strength and muscle lengthening Pilates provided. Alyna recognised the benefits of Pilates and the well being it created.

Alyna completed her accreditation of Diploma of Pilates teacher training at Polestar Pilates and is both committed and enthusiastic about contributing to the health and wellbeing of her clients.

Alyna has also completed a degree in Bachelor of Media at Macquarie University with a focus in writing and dance.

ABOUT PILATES

Pilates is a low impact, total mind and body form of body conditioning. It helps to build flexibility, strength, endurance, coordination and muscle tone.

Through the balanced development of core strength and flexibility, Pilates creates awareness to support efficient movement and can further assist in creating better posture by correcting muscle imbalances. Pilates can also assist in injury prevention and injury rehabilitation.

Pilates is unique in that it integrates muscle control, breathing, flexibility, strength training and body awareness. Pilates offers a variety of benefits to health and well being, these include:

• Strengthening the core
  
• Increasing muscle strength
  
• Balancing the muscles to create better alignment
  
• A more toned, mobile and flexible body
  
• Relief from stress – and a feeling of rejuvenation
  
• To enhance and compliment your sport training or workout
  
• A leaner, longer look
  
• Enhancements to muscular control of the body
  
• Improved stabilisation of the spine
  
• Greater awareness of posture
  
• Improved physical coordination and balance
  
• Enhancements to sport performance
  
• Relaxation of the shoulders, neck and upper back
  
• Safe rehabilitation of joint and spinal injuries
  
• Reduced muscular pain
  
• Tailored exercises that are safe and suited to your level
  
• Post Pregnancy recovery

One of the best things about the Pilates method is the broad range of levels it can accommodate. Athletes and dancers recognise the benefits of Pilates as well as seniors, pre and post pregnancy and individuals in various stages of physical rehabilitation. It is suitable for beginners, gentle for those with limitations, and can be challenging for sports people and athletes.
