Lisa is an accomplished and highly skilled pilates practitioner with a deep passion for both precision pilates and equestrian athleticism. With over 20 years of experience in the field, Lisa is dedicating her career to adapting the principles of pilates to enhance the performance and well-being of equestrian athletes.

Lisa originally studied through SwissBody pilates, a methodology renowned for its emphasis on precision, alignment, control, and efficiency of movement. Her programs focus on developing core strength, flexibility, balance, and body awareness—crucial elements that contribute to the rider’s stability and connection with their horse. 

By incorporating exercises that target specific muscle groups used in riding, Lisa helps riders optimise their performance, prevent injuries, and achieve a harmonious partnership with their horses. Beyond her expertise in pilates, Lisa’s 10 years of riding contributes to her understanding of the equestrian world and enables her to connect with riders on a deeper level.
