Liz Thompson is sports personified. Starting as a dancer as a child, she added competitive swimming and surf lifesaving and became an internationally successful kayaker. She also coaches swimming, surf lifesaving and kayaking.

She started practising Pilates in the winter of 2002 due to chronic ongoing back problems.

“I instantly recognised that Pilates was hugely beneficial and started teaching in early 2003 after training through Polestar Pilates Education.

I love teaching mat and studio classes, and appreciate the awesome ongoing mentoring and training I receive from Michele.”
