Our mission is to provide world class education for health and exercise professionals. We aim to fill the gap in your professional development by focusing on the implementation and practical application of your knowledge. We want to provide you with the "how to", not just the theory!

We want to share real life, authentic experiences and case studies to help you on your road of continued professional development. 

About Us!

Nicola and Tijana have been working together at The Active Studio for a few years now. Both heavily involved with students undergoing their exercise science and exercise physiology degrees, they have noticed a huge gap in professional development particularly in the areas of exercise prescription and delivery of exercise interventions. This along with their strong passion for education, sparked the development of The Active Education Program. 

Tijana

Tijana holds a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science (Hons) from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). She is an accredited exercise scientist and PhD student at UTS. She has a strong passion for teaching and education and currently is an anatomy tutor at UTS. She also has experience teaching exercise physiology and biomechanics. Tijana is so excited by this opportunity to combine her love of Pilates, exercise and education.

Nicola

Nicola holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise Physiology) and a Masters of Exercise Medicine (Onocology). She is the director and senior exercise physiologist at The Active Studio and holds a full studio pilates certification. Nicola has a strong belief that exercise is medicine and that with appropriate prescription it can have powerful effects. Pilates based exercise interventions play an important role in the prescription of the exercise drug.
