Pilates Method Studio
A former dancer with the New York City Ballet, Cynthia began studying The true Pilates Method in 1976 and trained directly under Romana Kryzanowska — the protégé of Joseph Pilates himself — at the original studio in New York City. She brought the True Pilates Method to Sydney, opening her own studio and founding Australia’s first Romana’s Pilates teacher-training program in 1998.
In 2009 Romana named Cynthia one of only three Grand Master Teacher Trainers for Romana’s Pilates worldwide. She has certified hundreds of Romana’s Pilates instructors both in the Asia pacific region and world wide and continues to be indemand internationally while still teaching daily at her client-focused Sydney studio.

Here are some questions answered by Cynthia about Pilates.
With my background in dance and movement education, I read bodies closely and tailor every session to the person in front of me. True Pilates isn’t a generic workout — it’s precise, progressive work that meets you exactly where you are and builds from there.
My teaching is rooted in the True Pilates method, passed down directly from Romana Kryzanowska. This is not a modern interpretation or a generic workout — it’s the original system, taught with the precision, order, and intention that Joseph Pilates designed. This approach ensures a deeper, more effective experience that builds lasting strength, alignment, and control.
We start by understanding your body and what you want from the work. I’ll watch how you move and guide you through the fundamentals, so you finish the first session feeling supported and clear on what we’re building toward.
Anyone who wants to learn the method properly — from complete beginners building a genuine foundation, to experienced practitioners and instructors refining their technique. I’ve spent my life preserving this work, and I love sharing it.
