Kelly Ng
Patient and friendly, Kelly is well acquainted with the effects of a previous sedentary lifestyle and deskbound work on the body. Having witnessed the benefits of Pilates on herself and others, she has also found herself delving curiously deeper towards understanding how the moving body works.In appreciating that no individual body is exactly the same, she understands the significance of a teacher who can provide the necessary guidance for exercise that is accessible and appropriate to students' needs. In her spare time, she enjoys further exploring the mind-body connection through various types of movement arts.

Claudine Liang
Claudine began her journey as a performing artist at the age of 9 with the Singapore Dance Theatre before venturing into other genres such as jazz, musical theatre, tap, contemporary, hip hop, and street dance. With a decade of experience in arts education and movement coaching for local schools and tertiary institutes, Claudine possesses a keen understanding of the nuances of the body in motion.
In 2016, a significant back injury during a dance scholarship in the United States, was accompanied by devastating news that she could no longer dance professionally again. After a period of rest, guided by her own intuition to try to move in small and unconventional ways, she made a remarkable recovery and reclaimed the stage in 2018. Enriched by that profound experience and drawing from her degree in Psychology, Claudine launched her own online somatic movement workshops during the pandemic, holding space for a moving community when the world temporarily hit pause.
Claudine's decision to become a Reformer Pilates instructor, is inspired by her belief that the body can recover by moving in parts, until it can move seamlessly as one. As a creative and reflective individual, she is vested in the transformative power of movement, and its impact on emotional and mental well-being.
Claudine is available for Private Bookings using the Reformer Apparatus

Vivian Fong
Vivian stepped into her first yoga class at age 18 seeking to gain flexibility to assist her ballet training. As a yoga teacher currently, Vivian is trained in a number of yoga styles but focuses primarily on Iyengar/Alignment. Completing 800+ hours of yoga study combined, she has been teaching full time for 3 years both in 1:1 and group settings.
Seeking to add a strength based practice to her routine, Vivian decided to try out pilates and immediately fell in love with the discipline as it combined elements of both ballet and yoga. Committing to her regular pilates practice has helped her not only gain deeper body awareness, better posture and overall body strength, but it has also helped her tremendously in her yoga practice and feeling stronger in her day-to-day life.
As a pilates teacher in training, she hopes to use her passion, experience and expertise to educate students about movement, so that they can foster a more mindful approach to living life without pain, aches or injuries.

Wee Liam
Wee Liam's journey with Pilates started with Pilates BodyTree when he was seeking rehabilitation for a sustained shoulder injury from tennis. The sessions there played a pivotal role in his recovery, which allowed him to continue with his sport.

A school teacher with an Advanced Certification in Learning and Performance 2.0 (ACLP 2.0) in adult learning assessment and facilitation, he is confident that his many years of pedagogical experience - coupled with his meticulous eye - will stand him in good stead in assessing biomechanical deficits in his students, and in tailoring individualised Pilates training plans to address those issues and enhance their body awareness
