Sophie Jeffries
Sophie accidentally wandered into Armature 14 years ago and hasn't left since. We snapped her up. Even in those early days, we knew a good thing when we saw it.
Other than breaks to have her children, Ned and Freya, she's been an Armature stalwart ever since, teaching every timeslot and class style Armature offers. Her kind manner and sharp wit, combined with cueing skills that can't be topped, make her one of the clinical studio's most sought after teachers.
Born and bred in Adelaide, Pilates-trained in Bristol through Pilates Foundation UK, Sophie hit her teaching stride in Melbourne as she apprenticed with notable instructors including Armature's own Sarah Grimshaw. She continued with a Diploma and an Advanced Diploma with Pilates ITC as well as a Diploma of Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies. She's a Level III member with the PAA (Pilates Alliance Australasia).
Sophie is a pregnancy and postpartum corrective exercise specialist, having been taught by Sarah Duvell (USA) and Jenny Burrell (UK). She teaches Armature's pre and post natal populations as well as a wide spectrum of clinical clients. She also writes and delivers speciality birthing-related workshops including her very popular Movement For Birth.
