Vanessa Watanangura - Pilates Instructor
Vanessa comes from a dance and performing arts background. She trained in various forms of dance from a young age in her home town of Port Macquarie before moving to Sydney to study at the Brent Street School of Performing Arts.
Due to recurring knee injuries and back issues Vanessa shifted her focus from performance to teaching, she also started working as a dental nurse for a dentist specialising in TMJ dysfunction (jaw problems). While travelling and working in the UK a physiotherapist recommended she try Pilates to help her injuries and alleviate back pain. She began taking classes at Pilates on the Square in London and soon realised the benefits that the pilates “lengthen and strengthen” technique gave to her body. It also gave her the challenge of co-ordinated movement and form that she missed from dancing but without the injuries.
On returning to Sydney she continued taking classes, completed the Anatomy & Physiology 1A at Nature Care College (with distinction) and began her pilates instructor training.
Instructing enables Vanessa to combine her love of working with people, passion for disciplined exercise and attention to detail into helping others fully realise and achieve their pilates goals. Vanessa believes that the breath pattern used and level of concentration needed for correct technique focuses and therefore calms the mind.
Vanessa teaches at various locations on the North Shore including for the Manly Warringah Community College. She is very happy to be part of the dedicated, fun loving Powernouse team! Vanessa also works in a holistic dental practice in Neutral Bay which has extended into a health and wellbeing centre offering yoga and Pilates.

She subsequently trained in London with the Body Control Pilates Association® as well as some of the world’s most respected Pilates elders Dominique and her family then moved back to Sydney in 2004.
