She also taught movement classes to aspiring young actors as well as freelancing as dance coach at McDonald School of Performing Arts.
Olga trained in several Pilates studios over the years however it was when she experienced “classical / authentic Pilates” at the “Pilates Method Studio”, that she found the true essence of the method as developed by Joseph Pilates. Impressed by the authenticity, quality and integrity of the Pilates Method of Body conditioning (“Contrology” as Joe called it), Olga was motivated to undertake a fully comprehensive Pilates teacher training course and became a certified instructor of “The NY Pilates Method” and “Romana’s Pilates” (True Pilates).
Olga manages her own studio in Lilyfield NSW Australia as well as facilitating teacher training seminars in APEI Teacher Training Courses in Australia, New Zealand and Korea. She also presents workshops nationally and internationally and produces the APEI Pilates Conference biennially.
