Our Team
Meet the Team at New Dawn Pilates Cleveland …
Dawn
Pilates Instructor & Business Owner
Hi there, I moved to Cleveland by the bay in 2015 with my husband and 3 children. During our move I injured my lower back and this strictly inhibited my ability to move on a daily basis. I got professional help and was advised to try Pilates to strengthen my lower back. EUREKA that was the day I discovered Pilates and I have never looked back since.....from the first day I was in love <3 .
Pilates has benefited me in sooo many ways, my back pain has gone away after just 4 weeks, I have much improved flexibility but most importantly Pilates has given me a much better rounded lifestyle.
Pilates is my new found love and I am passionate about your self care and offer you the space and time to breathe and discover what “New Dawn Pilates and Yoga” can do for you too .
I look forward to welcoming you in our studio
Dawn
Debbie
Pilates Instructor
Many moons ago, in my teenage years, there was a new phase that hit the fitness world called Jazzercize. The thought of my 2 loves, exercise and music being brought together was too much to resist and before long I was hooked.
Years later Post children, I had a Motorbike accident, that left me 3 months in a wheelchair and with ongoing back pain.
The feeling of not being able to exercise again was more devastating than the actual injury.
My rehab worker suggested I try Pilates. The feeling of exercising again and seeing the physical changes and strength coming back to my body had me hooked once again. This time so much I learnt to become an instructor so I could pass my new knowledge onto others.
I have now become a Nana and can still go strong with Pilates and keeping my body physically fit, making keeping up with my Grandies a breeze!

Gillian has been practising yoga for over 10 years. She found that a regular yoga practice kept her back pain at bay after she experienced it for most of her adult life following injury and surgery in her teens.
She decided to do her teacher training several years ago to help others experiencing chronic pain find their way to peace and pain reduction through Yoga practice, Mindfulnesss, Meditation and Massage.
Gillian teaches gentle and kind hatha yoga and chair yoga.
In addition to Yoga, she has studied 3 levels of Reiki, Zenthai shiatsu, Ayurvedic hot stone therapy, Shirodhara, trigger point and muscle energy technique, cupping as well as myofascial release, currently studying remedial massage therapy.
