Beginner's 6 week Intensive

Lucas comes from the Canadian Bible belt but escaped to the Pacific Northwest as soon as possible. He was a Flight Attendant for most of his 20s, during which time he completed a BSc in neuroscience then immediately forgot everything. He had no intentions of becoming a Pilates teacher. Fortunately, some nasty injuries and a twisted body meant it was only a matter of time before Pilates found him. Lucas does not believe Pilates is a religion and has been known to make people laugh so hard his classes are nearly impossible. When he’s not teaching, he can be found singing in choir, playing rugby with the Berlin Bruisers, or eating ice cream.

Lucas completed his therapeutic mat and apparatus training in early 2021 through Pilates Process in Vancouver, with additional training through Body Harmonics. In addition to studio teaching, he worked for 2.5 years as a Phyiotherapist Assistant in two of Western Canada’s leading Physiotherapy Clinics specializing in Clinical Pilates. Alongside his Pilates journey, Lucas took an interest in powerlifting and trained with Canada’s only Starting Strength coach, Craig Bearss. He eventually became a barbell coach himself and worked with a wide range of powerlifting clients both inside and outside the clinic. Big increases in strength led to an interest in Classical Pilates. He studied privately with Matilda Christensen — one of Canada’s top teacher trainers who was the lead instructor for the Canadian chapter of The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado — until his departure to Germany.
