Meet Ali - the newest addition to the Renew crew! 💚
She looks familiar right? That’s because you’ve most likely seen her in our classes & excitingly, she’ll now be guiding you 🙌
Ali found Pilates in the late ’90s while recovering from a spinal injury sustained through some ill-advised (but enthusiastic) adventuring. After years of stopping and starting as she searched for an accessible, injury-aware approach—and became increasingly aware of the toll a desk job was taking—she realised how critical Pilates was to maintaining a body that both worked well and felt good.
In 2025, Ali undertook her teacher training through Tensegrity to deepen her knowledge, better understand her own body, and commit to a sustainable long-term practice.
She loves the supportive Pilates community and sees movement as essential maintenance for a body that’s meant to be used—so she can age disgracefully and keep a life full of hiking, cycling, sailing, and all varieties of type-2 fun. (➡️Swipe through the pics to see the fun!)
You’ll be seeing Ali pop up on the schedule and taking over Tuesday PM classes from Feb onwards.
Welcome Ali - we’re verrryyy lucky to have you! 🫶🏻
