SHANNYN BROWN

Age: 32

Star sign: Pisces

Tell us about your day job: I am a palliative care Social Worker, working on a project for integrated care.

Favourite thing to do when you’re not doing your day job? Favourite things to do is cooking, hang making gifts, walks, horse ride and getting out for a road trip for some country air.

How long have you been coming to Scout Pilates? Let me think… I started in May 2020, and haven’t looked back!

What keeps you coming back? So many things, the atmosphere, instructors, and the tranquil studios. I have moved jobs since starting at scout and drive out of my way to keep coming.

Favourite class and why? I love any of 6am classes but must shout out Vee’s and Jane’s 6am circuits. Give such an amazing dose of energy to start the day.

Favourite Pilates position?  I hate picking just one, arms in straps and inner thigh moves!

Enough Pilates chat, what in your life gives you the most energy? Horse riding, galloping forward with such force and speed. You are just so present in the moment! I got one taste and have become addicted. Cue the saddle club theme song!

Tell us your favourite place to eat or drink in the Inner West and what you order when you’re there?  My favourite coffee pitstop post Pilates session is Aslan Coffee Roasters. Food is way too hard to pick just one!

What advice would you give to your 15-year-old self? Don’t get caught up in the plans of life it will only stress you. Life will guide you to where you are meant to be.

What was the last text message you received? It was a text from my energy provider advising of increased electricity prices.

If you could travel ANYWHERE tomorrow where would you go?  That is easy, Mongolia for an 18-day horse trek. Living in a yurt, long days in the saddle and visiting the herds of reindeers.

What goal do you want to achieve by the end of the year? I have some small home projects that have been on the back burner for too long! First one is a recipe book display wall.
