Hannah Lawrence-Marshall

Pilates Instructor

Hannah is a runner at heart, loving the simplicity yet challenging nature of the sport. She spent 5 years competing and training in Gunnison Colorado, USA. Initially this move was for an athletic scholarship to WSU. Following graduation she continued to compete at an elite post collegiate road and track racing until picking up an injury which forced her to give the running up. It was her determination and extensive cross-training during rehabilitation from this injury where she picked up cycling and swimming. Naturally, triathlons and half-marathons were to follow. Hannah quickly learnt the ropes as an age grouper, winning numerous national titles all the time wanting to be back in international competition. Hannahs’ classes are both technical and challenging. Her classes are fun and suit all levels.
