Meet Roz

Movement specialist.
Educator. Guide.

Rosalind Evans is a movement specialist, diploma-qualified studio and rehab Pilates instructor, and E-RYT 500 yoga instructor. With over 20 years of teaching experience, she brings a rare depth of knowledge that bridges elite athletic performance with everyday wellness.

An ex-professional dancer, including performing with The Wiggles, and graduate of Queensland University of Technology with a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Dance, Roz discovered the transformative power of Pilates in 2000 when she used it to heal a labral hip tear. It not only managed and healed her chronic injury, but fundamentally changed the shape of her body and the way she moved.

Since then, Roz’s journey through Pilates and yoga has evolved through various lineages and numerous trainings. She has been teaching movement since 2003, working closely with professional sporting teams, athlete development squads, and everyday clients looking to move and feel their best.

After years in a corporate career in media advertising, Roz realised that life behind a screen wasn’t for her. She left the corporate world to return to teaching full-time, immersing herself further in the exploration of body, mind, and breath. SOHL Studio by Roz is the culmination of that journey, a dedicated space for sharing her voice, her work, and everything she has built to help you move better, feel stronger, and thrive longer.
