Founded by Louise Solomon, an experienced yoga instructor and creator of the Yogalates method, the academy offers a unique fusion of yoga and pilates that has been transforming lives for over 30 years.
Louise Solomon developed Yogalates after experiencing an injury in a yoga class, which led her to explore the benefits of pilates. Combining her fundamental knowledge of core strength and function with the ancient practise of yoga, she created Yogalates to connect the mind, body, and spirit from the inside out.
Yogalates is different from other yoga styles and pilates classes as it focuses on improving body awareness and alignment, developing proper movement patterns for “Western” bodies, and strengthening the subtle and structural core muscles through pilates-based exercises. It incorporates the asanas (postures), philosophy, and wisdom of yoga to provide a comprehensive mind-body workout.
The academy offers various programmes, including a 350-hour teacher training course that is accredited and recognised by the Vocational Education & Accreditation Board (VETAB). This teacher training programme has been praised for its innovative approach and is considered a best practise example in the accreditation field.
Louise Solomon has over 30 years of experience in teaching and has successfully trained numerous yoga and pilates instructors. Her expertise and knowledge have been acknowledged by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), and her course materials have been used as a benchmark for excellence.
At Yogalates Academy, emphasis is placed on the importance of breath in each class. Each session begins with a body and breath awareness practise called “Savasana,” creating a mindful and meditative environment.
