Re:Form – Your Body is founded and operated by Gina Richter, a certified Pilates instructor and certified Structural Bodyworker. Gina brings over 25 years of experience in movement, exercise, and injury rehabilitation to the studio. As a certified myofascial bodyworker through Thomas Myers' Kinesis Myofascial Integration training programme, Gina utilises targeted deep tissue manual therapy in combination with stretching and strengthening exercises in her private rehabilitation sessions, specifically designed for individuals with serious pain or injury.
Gina's passion for movement began when she studied dance as a child, and she later pursued Iyengar yoga and became one of the first certified Iyengar yoga teachers in Australia. She then discovered the Pilates Method of Body Conditioning and studied it in Sydney with Cynthia Lochard, a former New York City Ballet dancer, and in New York with Romana Kryzanowska, one of Joseph Pilates' original proteges. Gina attained her US certification in 1998 and subsequently established Powerhouse Pilates studio, where she served as director for 17 years. Additionally, Gina studied injury rehabilitation and core conditioning with American exercise therapist Paul Chek, becoming a Level 1 Chek Practitioner.
