Fleur is a Chinese-born Kiwi currently based in New York City, USA.
As the daughter of a Pilates teacher, she grew up in the studio. Combined with her years of gymnastics training and competition, movement naturally became her instinct and passion. After graduating from university, she studied to become a certified Romana’s Pilates instructor, like her mother. It was during this period that she discovered The GYROTONIC® Expansion System and also the love that she had for this new and exciting movement method. Luckily for Fleur, it was far from a quick affair, and she has only gotten deeper into her GYROTONIC® practice. She is grateful to teach and inspire (and be inspired by) her clients and students that come from all backgrounds and abilities.
Fluent in both English and Chinese, she has been a translator, assistant and model for many teachers visiting her home studio in China. In 2021, Fleur received authorisation from Headquarters to teach Pre-training courses for GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS®. She continues to study under the tutelage of her teacher, SMT Sebastian Plettenberg.
