Lea Francis

Lea Francis comes to Pilates from an extensive background in dance. Having trained in Classical ballet, she went to dance in some of Australia’s leading dance companies such as Sydney Dance Company, Chunky Move, Bangarra Dance Theatre and guest appearances with the Australian Ballet.

Lea enjoyed the benefits of Pilates as part of her daily training routine during her career as a dancer. Later sustaining an injury to her knee, Lea found those benefits instrumental during her rehabilitation which allowed her to safely continue her dance career with strength and support.

Lea later returned to The Pilates Method Studio to retrain with Cynthia Lochard as an Instructor in 2002. Lea has since been promoted to a Senior Instructor trainer of the Romana’s Pilates Training Program.
