What Makes Pilates Different?
Joseph Pilates based his work on the concept of a balanced body and mind.
-
The exercises are carried out with control and focus which reinforces the body-mind connection. By paying attention to your movements you are less likely to overstrain or cause injury
-
Pilates is a great way to improve muscle tone and strength. It will complement any existing fitness routine
-
The exercises reinforce good posture, better breathing and correct alignment. You will become more aware of how you move your body and any imbalances that may need addressing.
-
Pilates is a gentle, low-impact way of exercising and includes a wide variety of exercises. It is therefore ideal for those who have chronic conditions or when recovering from an injury
-
The exercises are completely adaptable and will suit everyone from beginner to advanced

“Your passion for pilates is obvious, it really helps us to get the best out of the class”
David, Parua Bay (NZ)
“I really enjoyed the (back and core) workshop. While I don't typically have back problems, any increased core strength is a real benefit for me, in everything I do. I appreciated how you explained the moves in terms of pilates principles and also included the anatomy and physiology involved. Having you move around the floor and correct me also helped me gain the best outcomes from the exercises. ”
Marion, Parua Bay, (NZ)
“I enjoyed the workshop. I felt that it extended our usual workouts, and gave better understanding of the exercises we do. I Would recommend the workshops to anyone interested.”
Helen, Whangarei Heads, (NZ)
“Karen was able to carry out a very thorough consultation for my painful shoulder via video call. She compiled a detailed exercise programme for me to work on and gave me advice on how to remember to do the exercises too! In my follow-up session, Karen checked how I was getting on and gave me advice on how to tweak the exercises which I found painful. I really appreciated her clear explanations and advice and encouragement to persevere.”
