GYAN CLAVELL

FOUNDER, DIRECTOR + TEACHER


Gyan is the Founder and Director of Studio Pace Pilates, which she has been running since October 2023.

Gyan has always had a strong passion for movement, music and health. She began dancing at a young age across various schools, including Jason Coleman's Ministry of Dance, with a love for ballet and commercial dance.

During her studies, Gyan was involved in a car accident which led her towards a new career in Pilates. Experiencing the positive and life-changing impact of Pilates firsthand inspired her to help others, whether recovering from injury or simply looking to feel strong, confident and energised in their bodies.

With over 11 years in the Pilates industry and a certificate in yoga, Gyan brings the complete package to every class. Her attention to detail shines through in her clear, precise and easy-to-follow cueing, ensuring every client feels supported, confident and aligned throughout their practice.

Gyan's classes are a full experience. She sets the tone with carefully curated music that strikes the perfect balance between calm and motivation, helping you switch off, immerse yourself in the practice and move at your very best.


TAYLOR HARDMAN

PILATES TEACHER

Taylor has a strong dance background in Musical Theatre, Jazz, Contemporary & Ballet & has further danced with companies such as Brent Street, Village PA & The Victorian College of the Arts.

Her love for Pilates grew as her dance career suddenly stopped due to multiple injuries. It was this, she was introduced to the world of Pilates and has been hooked ever since.

Taylor is also a qualified clinical naturopath and biomedical scientist specialising in reproductive health, mental health and sexual health.

You can expect fun, dynamic movement and high energy in Taylor’s classes, all set to a killer playlist.


ELIN

PILATES TEACHER

Elin discovered Pilates after a knee injury and immediately fell in love with the practice at a small boutique studio. Since then, she has not found a better form of exercise. For Elin, Pilates is the ultimate superpower of controlled movement, where the mind and body unite. She enjoys the fun and creative aspects of the practice, as well as the way it enhances strength and overall well-being, enabling her to navigate life with a deeper awareness of her body and mind.

In Elin’s classes, you can expect a spicy burn, progressive layers, and plenty of pulses, all designed to leave you with a happy smile at the end!


ELIZA MILLERD

PILATES TEACHER

With 4 years of experience teaching Pilates and a background in dance, movement has always been a big part of my life. Pilates became a natural extension of that, but more than anything, it became a way for me to switch off after a long day. I loved how just a little time spent moving could completely change how I felt.

That’s something I hope to bring into every class I teach. My classes are continuous, creative and full of energy, with flowing sequences and the music turned up loud. Think Afrobeats, House and the best throwbacks.

I want you to leave feeling challenged, energised and, most importantly, like you’ve had the space to switch off, have fun and enjoy moving your body.


TALEESHA WEPPNER

PILATES TEACHER

Movement has always been Taleesha’s love language. A dancer since childhood and now a qualified fitness and Pilates instructor, she’s all about blending strength, flow and good vibes.

Currently studying Health Science with plans to move into Dietetics, Taleesha believes true health is about the whole picture — food, fitness and feeling good. Her ultimate goal is to help every client feel strong and confident, infusing each class with energy and passion.

Taleesha’s teaching style is all about that steady burn and smooth flow. Think spicy glute sequences, seamless transitions, minimal spring changes and a rhythm that keeps you in the zone. She loves getting creative with her programming, so no two classes ever feel the same.

Expect a full-body workout that leaves you feeling energised, challenged and accomplished.


EMILY

PILATES TEACHER

Emily took a leap and became a Pilates instructor after realising the need for a lifestyle change. She found her passion for Pilates was always a constant. With a long history of practicing from home using DVDs and YouTube, Emily eventually transitioned to studio-based practice, where she truly thrives. Her classes blend both classic and contemporary Pilates styles, meticulously designed to engage the entire body with a focus on control, alignment, and precision. Each session is layered, allowing students to find the right level of challenge for themselves. Emily is deeply passionate about continually learning and growing in her role as a Pilates teacher. She values getting to know her students, sharing her love for movement, and promoting the mental and physical benefits Pilates offers.
