Marketing Manager & Junior Instructor
Polestar Comprehensive Studio Certified
IB Diploma, School of The Arts, Singapore (Faculty of Dance)

Languages: English & Mandarin

Bernice’s story with movement began long before she ever stepped into a Pilates studio. As a young dancer, she learned early on that the body could speak, express, and create in ways words never could. But it was during her years majoring in dance that she discovered something even more profound: movement could also heal. Through physiotherapy and Pilates, she found a home for her curiosity about how the body works and a deep belief that movement is medicine.

But Bernice isn’t just about movement – her creativity took her through several marketing and advertising roles, where she worked extensively with brands in music, sports, and FMCG. Now, she gets to do what she loves most at Focus: inspire others to move while shaping a brand she deeply connects with.

To Bernice, movement is a little bit magic: it lifts you, steadies you, and reminds you what it feels like to be fully alive. Her hope is that you find something in each session that makes you enjoy moving a little more, rather than chasing the end result.

Outside the studio, Bernice feels most at home in nature. She loves trekking and outdoor exploration, where movement feels instinctive and grounding. Every now and then, she disappears off-grid to reset and reconnect with how the body is meant to move.

“When you enjoy movement, you show up more – and that’s when results begin to feel effortless!”

With over 25 years of experience in Pilates and movement, Daniel is an Exercise Physiologist who brings both depth and heart to everything he teaches. His Pilates journey began in 1998 in Australia, where he first experienced the transformative synergy between Pilates and physiotherapy. It was there that he saw firsthand how this integrated approach could empower people of all backgrounds – from those recovering from injury to elite athletes striving for peak performance.

Today, Daniel is a Senior Educator and Examiner for Polestar Pilates, and for the past 17 years, he’s been a familiar face in instructor training courses across Asia. His teaching is grounded in Pilates, yet enriched by a wide spectrum of modalities including the Franklin Method, Structural Integration, Runity, Animal Flow, and wisdom gleaned from countless mentors over the years.

In the studio, Daniel divides his time between working with clients, mentoring Polestar trainees, and offering Structural Integration sessions – a form of myofascial bodywork that supports deep, lasting change. His approach is both holistic and practical, empowering clients to move better, feel better, and thrive in their bodies.

A passionate educator at heart, Daniel is committed to nurturing the next generation of mindful, skilled movement professionals.

“Dan and his team of super experienced, comprising, incredible specialists offer and demonstrate great personalised insight, thoughtful guidance, and solutions that aid your individual need. Focus Movement is a remarkable experience.”

Bernice Kwok

Marketing Manager & Junior Instructor
Polestar Comprehensive Studio Certified
IB Diploma, School of The Arts, Singapore (Faculty of Dance)

Languages: English & Mandarin

Bernice’s story with movement began long before she ever stepped into a Pilates studio. As a young dancer, she learned early on that the body could speak, express, and create in ways words never could. But it was during her years majoring in dance that she discovered something even more profound: movement could also heal. Through physiotherapy and Pilates, she found a home for her curiosity about how the body works and a deep belief that movement is medicine.

But Bernice isn’t just about movement – her creativity took her through several marketing and advertising roles, where she worked extensively with brands in music, sports, and FMCG. Now, she gets to do what she loves most at Focus: inspire others to move while shaping a brand she deeply connects with.

To Bernice, movement is a little bit magic: it lifts you, steadies you, and reminds you what it feels like to be fully alive. Her hope is that you find something in each session that makes you enjoy moving a little more, rather than chasing the end result.

Outside the studio, Bernice feels most at home in nature. She loves trekking and outdoor exploration, where movement feels instinctive and grounding. Every now and then, she disappears off-grid to reset and reconnect with how the body is meant to move.

“When you enjoy movement, you show up more – and that’s when results begin to feel effortless!”
