Heather Thomas Shalabi

Tatler Hong Kong

Director, Flex Studio Hong Kong

Heather Thomas Shalabi became a Pilates devotee 16 years ago after moving to Hong Kong. Her interest in movement and the body stems from her decade-long training in classical ballet whilst a young girl, and daily yoga practice in New York City during the '90s.

Heather’s recognition of the benefits of Pilates, and passion for the discipline led her to embark on intensive training, completing her full Studio certification through in 2003.  After working in Hong Kong clubs and studios for two years, Heather opened Flex Studio in January of 2005.
