MURIEL MORWITZER-BAECHTOLD
Mumu was born in Switzerland and found her love for dance and movement as a teenager. Through training at the Laban Centre in London she was introduced to Pilates which enhanced her dance technique, flexibility and strength a lot. After taking a year off and not keeping up with her Pilates practice, she suffered a back injury from going back to dance training. They told her she would never dance again. Despite that back injury as well as an unforseen pregnancy, Pilates pulled her through and 18 months later she stood on stage again. Mumu’s desire to understand movement and help people with injuries to live pain-free was ignited through her own experiences, and her passion for Pilates has not stopped since.
Mumu holds a Diploma in Contemporary Pilates & Teaching Methodology, is a Lecturer and Assessor for art of motion training in movement, holds a Diploma in Contemporary Dance, Physical Theater Teacher and Choreographer and is the Principle of Sense of Space Contemporary Pilates Margaret River.
BREE WOODWARD-GRAY
Bree grew up in Auckland, New Zealand. From the age of 5 she trained in Classical Ballet and Modern Jazz in which she gained her teaching Diploma. At the age of 17 Bree was introduced to snowboarding, left Auckland and moved south to Queenstown where she pursued her passion of freestyle park and pipe snowboarding. Bree injured her back one season before setting off on the chase of the never-ending winter for 3 years and was told by practitioners to try Pilates, but being on the move she was unable to find a suitable studio. Taking a break for a Canadian summer years late and still suffering from niggling back pain, she finally took up Pilates & was amazed that the next winter back on the snow, her core strength and stability improved greatly, helping her progress in snowboarding more than ever before without pain (a big plus!). She continued to practice Pilates when she moved to Margaret River for work, and learnt to surf.
Bree started her training in Matwork in 2010 and just completed her Certificate IV with art of motion. Bree now trains and teaches at Sense of Space Margaret River on her swing off from the mines.
