Who Am I

Hi, I’m Shannon.

I’m a trainer, Pilates educator and yoga teacher based in Wollongong, NSW. My own training sits somewhere between structured strength work and curiosity about what the body can do.

How it started

Yoga was my entry point into teaching movement, followed by Pilates, fitness, kettlebells and other strength and movement disciplines.

How I work now

My approach has become increasingly strength-focused while still keeping mobility, skill, coordination and movement quality in the picture.

What interests me

Programming: how exercises fit together, how to build useful progressions, and how to coach movement with purpose rather than simply collecting exercises.

SOARFLOW is my space to keep exploring.

Training, experimenting and documenting the things I’m currently working on.

What I do

Train

My own training is built around progressive strength work, supported by kettlebells, mobility, bodyweight skills, grip, carries, jumping and movement practice.

SOARFLOW Training is the program I currently use to organise that work across a four-month rotation while tracking primary lifts and keeping the accessory training varied.

Teach

I teach strength + conditioning, strength-focused reformer, yoga and movement-based classes.

A lot of my teaching focuses on helping people understand the purpose of an exercise, how to load it appropriately and how to move with more confidence and control.

Educate

I work across Pilates teacher training, trainer mentoring, programming and coaching development.

I’m especially interested in teaching trainers how to build classes with purpose, understand the why behind programming decisions and coach strength-focused Reformer work effectively.
