YOUR TEACHER TRAINER
Ying Huang
A trailblazer in bringing authentic classical Pilates to China, Ying’s journey into Pilates began in 2004, immediately after earning a Master’s in Business Management from Massey University in New Zealand—following a decade-long career as an architect, where she refined an eye for structure, balance, and functional harmony that would later shape her approach to movement.Drawn to the rigor and philosophy of classical Pilates, she immersed herself in dedicated training, recognizing its alignment with the architectural principles of intentional design and efficiency. In 2011, she deepened her expertise and certified by Romana Pilates. That same year, she returned to Guangzhou with a clear mission: to introduce China to the uncompromised power of authentic classical Pilates.
True to her vision, Ying established China’s very first fully equipped classical Pilates studio, creating a space where excellence and authenticity thrived, building a vibrant community of practitioners. She was Romana's Pilates level 4 teacher trainer and hosted its certification programs and mentoring aspiring instructors.
Ying was drawn to Power Pilates by its comprehensive and rigorous teaching methodology--its art of teaching.
Complementing her Pilates mastery, Ying is also a certified Master Trainer in both Gyrotonic® and Gyrokinesis®. She honed these skills through intensive study and collaboration with Sebastian Plettenberg, a first-generation Gyrotonic master trainer, developing a distinct expertise that stands alongside her Pilates expertise.
For Ying, Pilates is an extension of her architectural roots: a practice that shapes bodies with intention, balances strength with grace, and transforms lives through intentional movement.
