ESTHER
I’ve always been active from a young age, leading me to become a swimming instructor and pursuing a career in personal training. Once the mothers of my students found out I was a trainer they always had a ton of fitness questions for me. And as a result of working with so many mums since then, and becoming a mother myself, I’ve gained a much deeper appreciation for how the different stages of a women’s life can have a profound impact on her physiology and mental wellbeing. Today, I work with women at all of these key stages in their lives, designing customised training programs to help them thrive inside and outside the gym.

NIALL
I didn’t grow up taking physical fitness very seriously. Getting good grades always used to be more important to me. But two years of compulsory military service made me appreciate the value of getting stronger, more mobile and more physically durable. I discovered competitive sport soon after. And since then I’ve competed at a club and national level in several paddle sport disciplines. As high volume training for dragon boat, SUP and outrigger canoe began to take their toll on my body, I turned to yoga and mobility training to prevent and manage my injuries. Today, I’ve taken what I’ve learnt to help my students get more active, while also making them more resilient to pain and injury.

TESS
I lead classes that are geared around personalised postural assessments as well as clients goals, whether that be toning and strengthening, correcting pain and postural imbalances, or simply finding time in your day to move and enjoy it.
Originally from Australia, I started personal Pilates practice to remedy chronic back pain, recurring injuries and to correct poor posture after beginning a desk job for the first time.

POLINA
Growing up as a dancer in Russia, I spent 25 years learning dance from the best teachers, practicing and taking part in international dance competitions around the world. Later, I moved to China and began a dance studio, attending my first lyengar Yoga class with a senior lyengar Yoga teacher from India. After moving to Hong Kong, I studied at the lyengar Yoga Center and gained my teacher apprenticeship. I believe that a peaceful mind and healthy body can make ourselves and the world around us a better place.
