About Grace Hyunae Park

When I visited Sydney in 2017 for the Romana’s pilates conference, Cynthia Lochard highly recommended me to work together with Grace after I move back to Korea from Hong Kong. But she had another plan by that time, so I had to reap my proposal. Now we finally can work together after several years, I’m beyond satisfied to be working together. She brings amazing positive energy to the studio even in this crazy pandemic time.
