I danced with the New York City Ballet and studied The Pilates Method from 1976 under Romana Kryzanowska, the protégé of Joseph Pilates. I brought Romana’s Pilates  method to Sydney, and founded Australia’s first Romana’s Pilates    teacher-training program here in 1998, and in 2009 was named one of only three Grand Master Teacher Trainers for Romana’s Pilates worldwide.
