Kirsty aims to create a welcoming and inclusive environment at Pilates+. She believes in the power of Pilates to improve one's overall physical and mental wellbeing, and is dedicated to helping her students achieve their goals.
At Pilates+, classes are taught by an internationally qualified Pilates teacher and are mat-based, incorporating small props and equipment to provide challenge and variety. The classes are designed to be low impact and gentle, but still offer a challenge to each individual. Kirsty takes pride in providing expert guidance in a safe and supportive environment.
The group classes at Pilates+ are intentionally kept small, with a maximum of 5 people per class. This ensures that students can experience both the camaraderie of classmates and the benefits of individual attention. Kirsty believes that personalised attention is essential for students to develop and hone their own movement practise.
Pilates+ caters to a wide range of individuals, from elite athletes to those recovering from injuries, as well as anyone looking to improve their posture, movement patterns, or overall fitness and wellbeing. Kirsty understands that each person has their own unique goals and needs, and she tailors the classes to accommodate them.
Kirsty's own Pilates journey began in the early 2000s when she started learning Pilates in Auckland to address persistent niggles from a shoulder injury. After experiencing the benefits firsthand, she became passionate about sharing Pilates with others. In 2012, she started offering small group and private classes in Blenheim.
As a teacher, Kirsty's passion lies in teaching mindful movement. She believes that Pilates is not just about the physical aspect, but also about connecting the mind, body, and spirit. Kirsty guides her students through safe, effective, and fun exercises to help them move with more ease and comfort, both in the studio and in their everyday lives.
Nothing brings Kirsty more joy than hearing about the positive benefits that her students are experiencing from their Pilates practise. Whether it's finding freedom from back pain and stiffness, increasing joint strength, improving breathing patterns, or feeling more relaxed, Kirsty is dedicated to helping her students achieve their desired outcomes.
