Originally from the UK, Ishra moved to Singapore in 2000 and has been teaching Pilates here since 2013. She also became a fully qualified GYROTONIC® Method certified instructor and has been teaching since 2018.

A main area of interest for Ishra is women’s health and, as such, she has specialised in many aspects of Women’s Health including Pre- and Post-Natal Pilates, Pilates for Menopause, and Diastasis Recti Healing. Ishra enjoys using Pilates as a means of Body Conditioning and improving general fitness.

Ishra started her career as a professional dancer, where Pilates was an integral part of her daily training. She went on to work on stage and in film and television, but her move to Singapore saw her leave behind her career and settle down to start a family. An unfortunate result of this new lifestyle saw her suffering from chronic lower back pain, which led her full circle back to Pilates.

In recent years, Ishra has become passionate about the Mind / Body connection and how one deeply affects the other. This thirst for knowledge, and the search for a solution to many of societies health issues, saw Ishra delve into Yin Pilates, and Reiki. She also has a particular interest in healthy ageing and uses fitness training combined with Pilates, as well as her many other disciplines to deliver personalised results to meet each and every clients’ needs.
