A little bit about me : )
Owner & Instructor
Melenie-Ann Dale
I started my pilates career in 2011, being qualified through top Condition SA – Control Conditioning. After I completed my Bachelors Degree in Dance Pedagogy from the Tshwane University of Technology, I danced professionally for a while before becoming a dance teacher and a pilates instructor. Having been a dancer I have spent many hours on the dance floor and know the importance of core strength. As a dancer I have suffered my fair share of injuries similar to those of sports athletes. Through this I have become intrigued by how the anatomy and physiology of the body works and how to rehabilitate injuries. It is important for me as an instructor to be in shape and lead by example. I love being active and enjoy challenging myself in running, equestrian, weight training and of course pilates. I’m positive and encouraging and believe that even the slightest bit of change and growth is an accomplishment. It is rewarding to see the growth in my clients as I guide them in reaching their goals. This excites me everyday and is the reason I love this job.
