Thelia Houston - McMillan (Admin
& Studio co-ordinator)
I've been the right hand woman to the studio owner, Theo
van der Riet since June 2006. I am privileged to work
with a fantastic group of ladies who instruct Pilates
with ease and grace. I'm married and have two wonderful
teenage children who help keep me young. I've been a full
time mother for most of my children's lives, and it's
only recently that I've spread my wings into the business
world again. |

Elize Botha
Grown up on the farm, climbing trees, riding horses,
and having open spaces to run and be free, has been
fundamental to her love for nature, and her nature to
be active. She have enjoyed many different forms of
exercise and have been blessed to participate in netball,
aerobics, dancing and squash on provincial and national
level! Pilates, being the most recent, is the most incredible
form of exercise she has experienced and a journey she
hope to continue, enjoy and share. Through Pilates we
discover, celebrate and enjoy the fact that ... "We
have been wonderfully made." |

Monique Strijdom
Monique has a degree in BA Human Movement Science; majoring in Biokinetics and Bio-Energetics. She enjoys learning more about the remarkable way the body has been put together in order for it to function and move. She has a unique passion for life and the people in it. Her love for her Christian faith has led her to Moscow Russia, where she lived for three years. Monique received her training through Body Arts and Science International and is qualified in Mat and Equipment work. What she appreciates the most of the Pilates repertoire is to see the balance it gives to the body and the challenge to find the flow in the controlled movement. She is also very excited about introducing more children to Pilates and believes in the value it can add to their growing bodies.
