OUR. InstructorS

Founder & Pilates Instructor

Hi, I’m René, the heart and soul behind OUR. Pilates Co, a reformer studio built on a dream and a whole lot of passion. As a single mum with little family support, I struggled to find a space where I could move my body without the guilt of leaving my kids behind. Traditional mums & bubs classes didn’t always fit, and crèche drop-offs felt like a battle. So, I stopped prioritising myself—and my mental & physical health took a hit.

Then I found Pilates. It helped me feel strong again, not just in my body but in my sense of self. I knew other mums needed this too, so I created OUR. Pilates Co—a space where you can move, reconnect, and show up for yourself without compromising your role as a mum. Whether you’re a parent to human babies or fur babies, you’re welcome here. No guilt, just movement that makes you feel amazing.

To me, fitness is so much more than how you look - it's about how you feel. I’ve always loved moving my body, whether it’s a walk, a swim, a run, or a sweaty Pilates session. Movement helps me feel strong, clear-headed, and grounded.

I originally fell in love with Reformer Pilates while looking to improve my balance, flexibility, and strength—and I was hooked. That love turned into a career, and now I get to help others find that same feeling. Expect dynamic, feel-good flows in my classes… and know that while I’m passionate about long-distance running, I’ll never say no to a burger and hot chips. Because yep—balance matters.

Pilates Instructor

Hey, I’m Ash! I’ve always been super active and played a heap of different sports growing up—but it wasn’t until I became a mum that I truly fell in love with Pilates. It gave me the perfect way to strengthen and support my body in a safe space, all while still getting that post-workout burn I crave.

In my classes, you’ll find layered flows, killer playlists, and plenty of chances to challenge yourself (yes, heavy springs included!). Modifications are always welcome, so wherever you're at in your Pilates journey, I’ve got you. And when I’m not in the studio? I’m probably down at the beach wrangling my three kids with a coffee—or a spicy marg—in hand.

MEET ASH

Pilates Instructor

Hi, I’m Liv—a proud Anaiwan woman and mum to one sweet girl. After a high-risk pregnancy and a tough postpartum journey, I felt completely disconnected from my body. Pilates helped me rebuild that mind-body connection and, for the first time ever, move in a way that honoured everything my body had been through.

Becoming a Pilates instructor felt like the natural next step—I wanted to share that magic with others. In my classes, you’ll get sugar, spice, and everything nice—with plenty of layers and modifications to suit every body. And fair warning: maths was never my strong point, so those planks and pulses might just last a little longer!

MEET LIV

Pilates Instructor

I’m one of those mums who wishes she’d found Pilates sooner! Some of my sweetest memories are of my daughter curled up on my chest while I did leg presses or feet-in-straps work. Pilates completely changed my body & mindset, and I knew I had to share that feeling with others.

Now, as an instructor, I love helping mums rediscover their strength & confidence—both inside & outside the studio. And when I’m not teaching? You’ll find me at home, curled up with a good book or puzzle, indulging in a cheese board & a glass of red wine. Balance, right?!

MEET Krista

Pilates Instructor

Hey, I’m Krista! I’m new to the instructor side of things, but my love for Pilates started about 3 years ago. After dealing with back and joint pain, I knew I needed something to help strengthen my body and my mind. Pilates became that something, and it quickly turned into a full-blown passion for mindful movement and body awareness.

Pilates gave me strength, confidence, and a real connection to my body again, and now I’m so excited to help others find that too. In my classes, you’ll find a focus on slow, controlled moves (hello, deep burn!) and proper form over fast reps - because well moving matters.

When I’m not in the studio in grip socks and tights, you’ll find me in scrubs working as a nurse. And when I’m off the clock? I’m usually chasing my two kids around, sneaking in a coffee + chocolate, or thinking about going for a hike!
