Stephanie Glickman
Take the mat to the rack - Chin - Up progressions, Pilates style Having lived in Melbourne 20 years, Stephanie thinks she's an Australian because she knows lots of Aussie lingo, but she's actually a born and bred Californian. A dinky di valley girl, she grew up in 80s Los Angeles, but these days you'll never catch her with crimped hair or shoulder pads. Find her hanging off bars or deadlifting, when she's not managing Armature, teaching Strength & Stability classes, being a mom or writing dance reviews for the Herald Sun. She grew up obsessed with dance but eventually settled into fitness and Pilates in her 20s after studying degrees in English and dance. She's done nearly every Pilates qualification available under the Antipodean sun and holds Principle Trainer level membership with the PAA (Pilates Association Australia) as well as Level IV membership with the APMA (Australian Pilates Method Association.) Since 2010 she's been an instructor trainer, first with STOTT Pilates and now with Breathe Education and frequently presents Pilates masterclasses on a national level. |

She also works across instructor training, training program development/delivery and thousands of face to face hours with clients. Miriam’s expertise as a teacher is in flowing and connecting exercises in a way that not only allows client development, but education and fun. Her ability to understand how each exercise transposes from equipment to mat and all the adaptations in between has been the back bone to her career and what she attributes to her success in delivering Pilates and barre education for Stott Pilates, Breathe Education, Barre Body and the Australian Fitness Network. She’s currently in the process of developing her next delivery of inspiration for Australia’s Pilates teachers. |
