Jess Morrison
Lifestyle
I’m Jess from Performance Pilates and I am a qualified Pilates Instructor with over 13 years experience.
I teach riders of all ages and disciplines how to train their bodies off the horse at my purpose built Studio in the Macedon Ranges. I run position clinics for riders too, where I use video analysis to help the rider understand how they can improve their position via Pilates based strength and conditioning exercises. I have been riding since I was a little girl, but stepped away in my late teens and early twenties to become an elite level rower, culminating in representing Australia.
I have thoroughly enjoyed resuming my riding in the last 10 years and to be able to combine it with my other great love (teaching Pilates) has been hugely rewarding. But perhaps most satisfying is seeing the tangible changes in my riders and the development of more harmonious horse/rider combinations.
