Meet the Team
Sharon Harris – Founder & Senior Instructor
Sharon Harris brings over two decades of experience in the movement and fitness industry, with a career shaped by a lifelong passion for intelligent, purposeful movement.
She qualified as a BASI Comprehensive Pilates Instructor in 2005 and began her career under the guidance of renowned BASI mentor Jodene Glass. These early years of mentorship helped develop Sharon’s precise eye for movement and her deep respect for the principles of alignment, control, and strength that underpin the Pilates method.
In 2012, Sharon further expanded her practice by qualifying as a Vinyasa yoga teacher. She holds a deep respect for yoga’s meditative qualities, as well as the flexibility and lengthening it brings to the body, elements that continue to inform her approach to movement and teaching.
Movement has always played an important role in Sharon’s life. She swam competitively throughout her school years and has continued to enjoy an active lifestyle, with a particular love for water skiing, trail running, and outdoor activities.
Sharon went on to founder Urban Flow Pilates, a boutique studio in Sandton, where she spent nearly 18 years working closely with clients and building a strong community around thoughtful, high-quality Pilates instruction. During this time she developed a reputation for her attentive teaching style and her ability to assess movement with care and precision.
Two years ago Sharon relocated to Cape Town with her family, drawn by the opportunity to live closer to nature and enjoy the balanced outdoor lifestyle the Cape offers.
Her teaching approach is defined by precision, care, and a deep understanding of the body, guiding clients to build strength, restore balance, and move with confidence over time.
Pilates Republic is the natural evolution of her work: a refined space where movement is considered, personal, and enduring, designed to support strength, longevity, and a lasting connection to the body.
Diane Winn-Rooke – Pilates Instructor
Diane Winn-Rooke is a devoted Pilates instructor with a deep passion for health, movement, and wellbeing. Energetic and highly committed to the Pilates method, she works with clients of all fitness levels, bringing patience, attentiveness, and dedication to every session. Her creative and engaging approach keeps clients motivated, challenged, and inspired in their practice.
A lifelong lover of sport and fitness, Diane is also an accomplished long-distance runner and triathlete. Pilates has played an important role in supporting her own strength, endurance, and overall wellbeing, reinforcing her belief in its benefits for both body and mind.
At the heart of Diane’s teaching is a balanced approach to health and wellness — helping clients move better, feel stronger, and gain confidence in their bodies. Guiding people towards positive, lasting change is both a privilege and a deeply rewarding part of her work.
Jessica Douglas – Certified Pilates Instructor
Jess is a certified Pilates instructor and movement professional with a passion for helping clients feel stronger, more connected and confident in their bodies.
Trained in BASI Pilates Mat & Reformer, Jess also has a background in Personal Training, Sports Massage Therapy and Dance Teaching through AIDT, giving her a well-rounded understanding of movement and the body.
Her teaching combines mindful movement with strength, control and precision, creating sessions that are both challenging and supportive. Whether working with someone new to Pilates or helping a more experienced client progress their practice, Jess places a strong emphasis on quality of movement and individual ability.
Jess believes Pilates goes beyond physical strength — it develops body awareness, confidence and a deeper connection between mind and body.
She brings a warm, encouraging energy to her teaching and is excited to be part of the Pilates Republic team.
