Leonie Naronah is our resident Yoga Instructor.
Leonie has been practicing both Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga for 9 years and is a committed ambassador for the benefits of yoga in daily life.
Through her background in middle distance running, Leonie was introduced to yoga to complement her training, and found that incorporating yoga not only helped with her running form on the track, but gave her a greater sense of clarity and deeper understanding of herself off the track.
Her new sense of self awareness led Leonie to India in pursuit of the teachings from both Indian and Western practitioners. The journey has provided Leonie with sound foundation and a distinctive integration of the two styles. Devoted to the mat and traveling regularly to India, Leonie teaches Hatha, Ashtanga and Prenatal Yoga.
Some of the well known benefits of Yoga are; increased flexibility, strength, control, and inner peace, as well as helping to lower stress levels and create a deeper sense of self awareness (getting to know yourself & your body through yoga).
Join Leonie in one of her classes at VLE Health & Fitness Studio and walk out light as a feather and switched on!
Anne-Louise Galati is the newest member to the VLE Health & Fitness Studio team.
Anne-Louise has always loved playing sport, having mostly played netball and soccer throughout her childhood and teenage years, as well as touch football and oz-tag. So it was really no surprise that upon leaving school, Anne-Louise decided to study Sport Science at University and this is what led to a career in the fitness industry.
Her experience includes having worked in the commercial gymnasium environment, writing personal programs, conducting fitness assessments, sales and much more. It was stepping into the aerobics room, where Anne-Louise finally felt at home (teaching BodyPump, BodyCombat, & Pilates Matwork classes).
In 2004, Anne-Louise went back to University to study teaching (primary) to fulfil another passion of hers...working with children. Having worked as a primary School Teacher for five and half years, Anne-Louise recently decided to take a break from school teaching.
Anne-Louise has been instructing fitness and group exercise classes in gyms and fitness centres for over twelve years, and corporate group exercise teaching for more than six years.
Since completing her Pilates training in 2002, Anne-Louise's main focus has been Pilates, as well as children's fitness and education, developing and implementing programs for children. Since undertaking Pilates Matwork training, she has had a great desire to continue learning and increase her knowledge, not only in Pilates, but in all things health, fitness and wellbeing.
Join Anne-Louise in one of her great Pilates Mat classes at VLE Health & Fitness Studio.
