LARA RICHARDSON

Pilates MAT + REFORMER, Barre, Fitness

Lara was born and raised in Melbourne and was introduced to Pilates over 30 years ago as a young dancer in order to help strengthen her back and recover from injuries. At the time, this little known exercise system was practised by few and largely unknown outside the dance world. This introduction shaped not only the way Lara moved and exercised herself but also sparked a lifelong fascination with anatomy, exercise rehabilitation and movement styles.  As a teacher with over 10 years experience Lara loves nothing better than exposing new clients to all that Pilates offers as well as encouraging experienced practitioners to dive deeper into their movement practise and take ownership of their physical journey. Lara has a Diploma of Clinical Pilates, a Certificate IV in Fitness, Pilates mat and reformer and is a qualified Barre teacher. Outside the studio Lara is an Executive Assistant, enjoys lifting weights, practising yoga, running and of course Pilates. Inside the studio she is not known for her ability to count! Her classes involve lots of estimates (Hundred’s ish anyone), a lot of corrections, modifications, challenges, encouragement and a heap of banter and laughs.
