Pilates is a whole-body movement system, addressing stability, breathing, strength, flexibility, improving posture and assisting injury recovery and prevention. Pilates is for anyone who wants to move with ease and confidence and sustain long-term fitness and mobility. As we age many of us lose flexibility and our ability to move freely in daily life. Practising Pilates will help reverse that and lead to pain-free body movement.

Classes are a combination of the Pilates based mat repertoire and functional movements.

Functional movements are based on real life activities such as sitting, standing, squatting, walking and running.
Relearning and mastering these movements can prevent the body from degeneration and injury.

Group mat Pilates classes are at St Annes Church Hall cnr Randwick and Northland Roads, Northland.

These classes run during the school term and must be used within the block of a term (usually ten weeks).

You may attend other classes as a make-up class (during the same term) at the appropriate level if for some reason you miss your usual class.

Bookings are essential

Classes are limited to 10 students.

My Pilates classes are for everyone,  no matter your age, experience or level of fitness.

The private Pilates studio is located in Kelburn and classes are either individual or small (no more than four students) to ensure a more personalised experience with greater attention to your specific needs.

My goal is  to educate people to understand their body and how to move safely and efficiently through a varied Pilates repertoire.  With the 18 years of experience as a Pilates teacher I work with students to set them up with the tools apply good movement to their everyday life. By developing proper technique, you can retrain your body to move in safer, more efficient patterns of motion – invaluable for injury recovery, sports performance, good posture and optimum heath.

Pilates increases strength and flexibility as well as improving posture, stability and alignment. It emphasises concentration on smooth, flowing movement and proper breathing. You become acutely aware of how your body feels, where it is in space and how best to control its movement.

Private and Duo Pilates sessions utilise all Pilates equipment including the Reformer,  Chair  small props  as well as Mat work. Theses sessions are a great way to work towards your goals and your bodies needs in a safe supportive environment.

I came to Pilates after having back pain for years.  Even though I was active doing gymwork , cycling and running  I still had reoccurring niggling back pain and general crankiness in my body.

I had been doing yoga for years but still couldnt seem unwind what was going on in my body.

I discovered Pilates and after putting in many hours of repetitions on the mat I have found out that Pilates really works.!! Its about unwinding the imbalances and getting things to move more functionally.  Not to mention learning to use the breath to encourage movement

Because of what Pilates did for my body decided to train as a teacher and share my passion help others have the freedom of movement.

I have been teaching Pilates for over 17 years and have been practicing yoga for 20 years. I believe both disciplines complement each other.

Classes are a positive, fun, safe and non-competitive learning experience where students can master the Pilates principles. I want my students to learn in an environment that is inspiring and where every student is respected and encouraged to attain their personal goals.
