Adriana Carioni
Pilates Instructor and Physical Educator
I am passionate about Pilates. It is wonderful to see how Pilates can change and improve people’s health.
I graduated in Physical Education from FEFISA University Brazil, and post-graduate studies in Physical Education from FMU University. After many wonderful years being a Teacher, I decided to change my path and became specialised in Pilates studying at the CGPA Institute.
I always knew that I would be a physical educator because of my eternal love of sports. At a young age, I was very active and represented my school in various games and competitions.
After my first degree I became a swimming coach for junior athletes, developed social and educational projects in the techniques of sports and also had the opportunity to manage sporting events.
My main goal is to provide people with a better quality of life by improving their self-esteem and enabling a change of habit in relation to the body through the practice of Pilates.

Susan Stone
Pilates instructor
In my twenties I sustained a serious back injury which I thought I had recovered from with no ill effects. It wasn’t until later in life I began to feel the impact of that injury and the limitations it was placing on my body and lifestyle. After committing to Pilates regularly I found that gradually I could do all the things I wanted- gym, hiking, yoga, skiing. I became aware and in tune with my body, accepted its limitations but was able to work with it and gain strength, mobility and stability.
Pilates is tailored specifically to meet individual clients needs. It can be done with any physical limitation or at any age. Pilates is something I never intend to stop, it makes complete sense and it is exciting watching clients health and lifestyle improve with regular practice.
I come from a background in nursing so the science behind Pilates particularly appealed to me. I completed my Diploma of Professional Pilates instruction through Pilates ITC and I am a member of Pilates Alliance Australasia.

Giovanni Zucarato
Pilates Instructor and Physical Educator
I am passionate about movement since I was a kid. When I had had my first contact with Pilates in my youth , I found out that my body needed to connect itself. Movement represents myself and Pilates showed me how I could be more efficient, precise flexible and coordinate.
I am a bachelor in Physical Education (2013) and Post graduated in Resistance Training (2016), from University of Sao Paulo, with extensive experience in rehabilitation and populations that require tailored made programs. My Pilates certification with DIS Pilates brought extra ideas and different approaches to conduct a range of clients.
My satisfaction comes when I can help someone to improve any aspect from daily activities to high performance skills. My goal as a professional is guiding my clients step by step to achieve their personal goals.
