Catherine Giannitto
ポールスターピラティス オーストラリア・代表
彼女自身のピラティス実施に伴う脊柱の関節炎の軽減に成功した経験から、姿勢の改善・筋力や柔軟性の向上の大いなる効果性を痛感。以後、スポーツセラピー資格各種、運動・評価レベル4を取得。国内外を問わずピラティス普及活動に貢献。現在、ピラティスアライアンス・オブ・オーストラリアの代表委員を９年以上努めている。
Catherine has many years of training experience, both as a dance instructor (8 yrs) and corporate consultant (13 yrs) but decided to pursue a career in Pilates after sustaining a back injury that required ongoing rehabilitation.
She opened her Pilates Studio in Manly NSW in 2002 and not long after commenced her relationship with Polestar Pilates. Catherine is heavily involved in the Pilates community in Australia, being a committee member of the Pilates Alliance of Australasia. She understands the importance of on-going training and keeping up to date with the latest rehabilitative techniques.
Catherine has been conducting specialised pregnancy classes at her studio for over 6 years and her excitement in this area is even more fulfilled now that she has two small daughters.
