FOUNDER

Madonna, the owner of Connect + Flow Pomona, has over 25 years of Pilates experience. She is a certified nutrition coach and qualified Mat, Reformer, and Barre instructor. Madonna is a movement optimist, helping her clients to restore faith in their bodies, overcome barriers to movement and recover from injury.

Dedicated to lifelong learning, Madonna originally trained in the Pilates Method in the early 90's when Pilates was becoming more recognised in Australia. Having trained in the original Joseph Pilates method, she still considers her teaching classical with respect to the traditional exercises and sequences but with a distinct contemporary focus.

Madonna's passion for Pilates has inspired her to create Connect + Flow Pilates Studio, where she has built a vibrant and supportive community of clients. Her studio is a truly welcoming and inclusive environment, where clients can explore the transformative benefits of movement and discover their own unique strengths and abilities.

Madonna's dedication to her clients and love of Pilates is evident, both in her studio and within her local community.

HATHA + YIN YOGA INSTRUCTOR

A proud local to the area for many years, Natalie’s journey with yoga began long ago when she needed to calm her busy mind. She instantly fell for the gentle practice of Yin Yoga and now passionately shares its healing properties with others. In addition to Yin, she teaches Hatha Yoga and wholeheartedly believes in its transformative benefits. When she’s not on the mat, you'll find her exploring nature through bushwalking or relaxing on the beach.

HATHA + YIN YOGA INSTRUCTOR

Hi my name is Reuben and I am a Hatha Yoga Teacher who specialises in Yin Yoga. I have been practicing Yoga since 2014. I discovered Yin during my ACL rehabilitation and knew there was something special about it. I have been practicing Vipassana Meditation since 2012 and combine the awareness of sensation with calming the mind and relaxing the nervous system when I teach Yin. My partner Sionell and I are expecting our first child which we are super excited about. We live in Pinbarren and absolutely love being a part of the wonderful community here.

VINYASA + HATHA YOGA INSTRUCTOR

I first discovered Yoga in Bali around ten years ago when I decided to take the journey of finding the deepest connection with my inner self. As I arrived where all the Yoga magic was happening at Changu, it was love at first sight.

Then a couple of weeks later, I moved to Australia. I immediately started practising Yoga, and I discovered the deepest connection with myself through my regular yoga practice. And since then, I have never stopped being so passionate about exploring what else is there to unfold for me throughout my practice.

I have also been very interested in meditation ever since, and I practice daily, which brings balance to my life and calmness of the mind.
