Meet Lou
Lou has a passion for movement and helping others and is Diploma certified in both Classical Pilates Method, Advanced Level and Pilates Studio Rehabilitation.
Recently adding Yin Yoga teacher certification to her qualifications, look out for Yin classes on the schedule.
Originally from Sydney and lived in Whistler Canada for 12 years, Lou moved to Sawtell in 2016 to be closer to her family.
Lou discovered Pilates in 2010 and was instantly hooked after her first reformer class as she noticed significant improvement in her posture and core strength from regular sessions. Lou was so taken with the method she did her teacher training with 2nd generation teacher Louise Tomcheck of Whistler Pilates in 2014. Lou continues education and mentorship through Olga Tamara of Authentic Pilates Education Sydney and Eric Carlovich of The Casa Arts & Movement Centre in Bangalow.
Outside the studio, you'll see Lou around the main street of Sawtell supporting local business and on the beach with her beautiful dog Joey.

What people say about Sawtell Pilates.
I have been doing Pilates on & off for the past 10 years & Lou has quickly become my favourite instructor. Her passion shines through with her attention to detail as she carefully guides you into the correct position & explains what you should be feeling & how to activate those muscles. Thank you Lou, for being a breath of fresh air & sharing your passion with us all!

I love Lou's Pilates classes. Having done both Mat and Reformer classes, Lou is very particular with each class perfecting my form, spotting misalignment and maximising my body's ability. I can highly recommend Lou to anyone at any fitness level.

I have been doing pilates with Lou for a year now. She is excellent in demonstrating, hands on cues and helping me to achieve the most out of each class. She keeps her classes flowing and progressing by building on ability levels as you become more experienced.
