For Pilates Teachers
& Future Teachers
For Pilates teachers looking to deepen their own practice, refine their technique or further their understanding of the method, Eve offers individual teaching and mentoring to both classical and contemporary trained teachers.
Monthly Teachers' Practice
Once a month, Pilates teachers come together for a dedicated practice and learning session. These paid sessions are led by Marda Willey, a Romana-lineage teacher.
These sessions offer an opportunity to:
Deepen your
personal practice
Build observation hours
Exchange ideas
and perspectives
Connect with
other teachers
Strengthen our
teaching community
Expressions of Interest
We’re always happy to connect with passionate Pilates teachers who care about great movement, thoughtful instruction and creating a welcoming experience for every client.
Marda Willey
Marda Willey is an Exercise Physiologist whose professional movement background also includes working as a dancer at Club Med.
Her Pilates journey began in the 1990s, training with Cynthia Lochard and later Romana Kryzanowska, whose teaching had a profound influence on her. In 1998, Marda received her teaching certification, signed by Romana and Sean Gallagher. She went on to establish studios, mentor apprentices and contribute to the development of Pilates education in Australia.
In 2010, Marda became a Level 4 Romana's Pilates Teacher Trainer, allowing her to formally train teachers within the Romana's Pilates system. She was also involved with the Pilates Alliance for 14 years, including serving as Vice President. Her long friendship with Olga Tamara eventually led her to support the development of Authentic Pilates, where she has continued to teach, mentor and learn alongside teachers from around the world.
Marda is Eve's mentor and close friend. Their shared passion for Pilates has also taken them overseas together to attend Pilates conferences, continue their education and connect with the wider international community.
After nearly three decades, Pilates continues to fascinate Marda. Her teaching extends beyond the exercises themselves and is shaped by observation, connection, precision and curiosity. She helps people understand their bodies and develop their own relationship with movement. After all these years, Marda continues to learn, teach and move, while returning to that wonderful feeling of being at home in her body.
