Co-Founder/Owner of White Dog Studio

After establishing his reputation working at Breathe Wellbeing under the tutelage of Raphael Bender, a true luminary of the Australian Pilates world, Heath started his own business in his living room with one reformer and a couple of boxes.

The business moved to a small studio in less than a year and two years later became White Dog Studio; the first studio in Footscray devoted to Pilates and Yoga instruction.

White Dog Yoga studio moved to its new home in Yarraville in 2021.
