Your principal Instructor: Sandra Schonrock Gardner My back story When I was barely 19, I seriously injured my spine, jumping off big hits on my snowboard in a snow-park. This led to months of bedrest and rehab and a lifetime of searching for balance and support for my body. I stumbled upon Pilates while living in London in my 20’s and immediately felt that this would be a big thing in my life. A few years after returning to New Zealand and two babies later, I discovered the full classical Pilates world and knew that this was it. In 2015, I left the corporate rush of communications behind, and began a full time Pilates apprenticeship.
