Principal Coaches - Pilates and Yoga
Jesse Low
My journey with Pilates began with the reformer, and I've been hooked ever since. I love the effortless alignment it provides, the challenge of the springs, and most of all, the way my body feels afterward—lengthened, lighter, and with a stronger core. The lower back pain and tightness I occasionally experienced have also vanished.
Driven by curiosity, I completed my Pilates teacher training with Polestar Pilates to understand the 'secret' behind its transformative effects. Now a certified Reformer and Studio Pilates teacher, I've also earned my 200-hr yoga teacher certification with Aligned Yoga.
While Pilates remains my foundation, I believe its synergy with yoga allows me to blend the best of both practices, helping you to get stronger and move better.
Class style: Varied. Spicy. Playful.
Selina Tai
Like many, I spent too much time in an office, leading to poor posture and a lack of exercise. A fall resulted in chronic back pain, which I initially managed with temporary solutions. Then, I discovered Pilates – it transformed everything! I found relief, strength, and flexibility I didn't know I possessed.
To further enhance my practice, I also completed a 200-hour yoga teacher certification, blending Pilates' benefits with yoga's mindfulness.
Now, as a certified Polestar Pilates instructor and yoga teacher, I'm dedicated to helping others improve their mobility, core strength, and overall well-being. My sessions are designed to support you, whether you're recovering from an injury, managing pain, or seeking to enhance your fitness.
Class style: Mindful. Progressive. Rejuvenating.
Coaches - Pilates
Carmen Au (Polestar)
Five years ago, I discovered Pilates and was amazed by its ability to transform both body and mind. It eased my knee and neck pain, improved my alignment, and left me feeling recharged. This inspired me to pursue certification, and during my Polestar Reformer training, I found joy in sharing this powerful practice. Now, as a certified Polestar Reformer instructor, I’m excited to guide you toward a stronger, healthier you. I combine precision and mindfulness to help you move with ease and confidence, leaving class with improved strength, flexibility, and body awareness.
Charlene Leung (Polestar)
From the office desk to the Pilates studio—Pilates didn’t just transform my workout; it changed my life. Having spent years in corporate environments, I understand firsthand how tight shoulders and poor posture can affect your daily well-being. Pilates became my breakthrough, providing me with the mobility, body awareness, and healthy spine I once thought impossible.
Now, my mission is to help others experience that same transformation. I believe that practice leads to progress, and I am here to empower you through mindful movement—regardless of where you are in your journey. Let’s flow together!
Charmine Fong (Stott)
I discovered Pilates through Barre, and the synergy between the two greatly inspires my teaching. The dynamic, dance-inspired movements of Barre complement Pilates’ focus on precision, creating a powerful approach to strengthening the pelvic floor, enhancing core stability, and improving posture.
Chia Jinn (CJ) (Basi)
I started Pilates while still passionate about rock climbing, and it transformed my movement and daily life. It boosted my climbing and helped me find strength, stability, and mobility I never knew I had.
Now, as a certified BASI Studio instructor, I love sharing this empowering practice. Expect energy, joy, and a full-body reset with every class. Let’s move with purpose!
Chris Matthew (Stott)
As a yogi, I find Pilates to be highly complementary, helping me deepen my backbends safely and restore the body's natural spinal alignment to find the line in inversions. My classes are designed to support and advance your Pilates journey, whether you're just beginning or are an experienced practitioner. Expect a safe, effective, and encouraging environment to help you progress with confidence.

My Pilates journey began as a personal quest to find relief from lower back pain. Discovering the transformative power of mindful movement ignited my passion to master the discipline.
