Kevin Yap
Kevin Yap
Kevin’s love of dancing Argentine Tango led him to start exploring ways to condition his body to improve balance, flexibility, speed and suppleness in movement. He realized early on in his exploration of the dance that correct movement and body awareness play a critical role not only in dancing but also in everyday functional movement.
Introduced to Pilates by Michelle, opening The Better Movement Studio is his dream of sharing the methodology and thought process of Pilates to others. It produced amazing results for him personally in dance and movement. He hopes that you will be able to unlock similar results by exploring this avenue of body conditioning.
Carol Foo
Carol Foo
Carol started on her pilates journey after she had her second child in 2008. She was amazed that pilates was able to help her recruit muscles that she wasn’t aware of in the past and how it helped her in her postnatal recovery. Being a sports enthusiast from young (currently active in playing tennis, yoga and pilates), embarking on the Stott pilates teacher training course came naturally as she wanted to learn more about proper alignment and body awareness. She enjoys helping clients in their pilates journey and learning from their experiences as well.
Amy Chong
Amy Chong
Amy is certified in Pilates, Gyrotonic and Yamuna Body Rolling. She has been exploring the benefits of different movement methods to the body and has been a movement teacher over the past 14 years. She finds satisfaction in assisting clients into a deep release anywhere in their body both physically and emotionally through the profound method of Body Rolling.
Using balls of different sizes and density, Amy facilitates a strong yet gentle enough session for bone and organ stimulation, ease in joint stiffness, releasing tense muscles and lubricating tight fascia. Body Rolling elongates muscle and unwinds tension in the body. Keeping these body structures healthy through Amy’s systematic and progressive Body Rolling sessions will greatly improve performance of the body in all activities and workout.
