Cie’Jai has always been a passionate advocate for functional fitness and movement and first completed her Pilates training in Sydney through Polestar Pilates.

With the first edition of The Pilates Journal launched at just the beginning of 2023, The Pilates Journal is still in its infancy but it's off to a flying start with regular editions making their way into Pilates studios around the country.
