Hello, I am Helen Fletcher, the founder of Equipoise Pilates and Movement Education. I am a Pilates Association Australia Professional Practitioner, and the recipient of The Pilates Journal Instructor of the Year Award, 2023. I have 31 years personal Pilates practice and 20 years teaching experience that ranges from post-acute rehabilitation to conditioning for sport, including working with one of Australia’s 2012 Olympic Games Bronze medallists, Victoria Brown.

A rider from childhood, I am passionate about healthy biomechanics for both horse and rider. My focus in my work is on improving your body to improve your riding. Equipoise is a mindful movement practice, and it is movement education. I am continually inspired by the role that the rider’s body plays in the ability to influence, and also maintain and improve the wellbeing of the horse.

I am committed to continually expanding my skills and knowledge. Along with my Pilates certification, I am a licensed Franklin Method Equestrian Pelvic Trainer, Franklin Method Equestrian Ball Certified, a Testt Practitioner, and am currently undertaking a Diploma of Slings Myofascial Training with Art of Motion Academy.

'I am an internationally recognised practitioner and have created six online classes for US based Dressage Today's online learning platform EQUESTRIAN+. I have contributed articles to both Dressage Today Magazine and Equestrian Life Magazine on the benefits of unmounted training for equestrians.

I believe riders should aim to be the athletic equivalent of their horses, whether they are casual hobby riders or elite performers. This requires a committed approach to your own fitness. Riding is a unique sport, there are many demands on the rider’s body. My program can help you to be the best you can be for your horse.

Let’s work together to take your riding to the next level.
