Pilates

Pilates is a low-impact way of building core strength, developing proper postural alignment, and encouraging muscle balance.

Developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920’s, it is a full body/mind exercise method with an emphasis on strength, muscle control and stability. The exercises can be done on the mat or on the specially developed equipment which includes the Reformer, Cadillac and Wunda Chair.

Pilates will help you to strengthen your core, build muscle tone, increase your flexibility & coordination, improve balance & postural awareness, and even increase respiratory function and improve sleep quality and digestion.

At Core Studios we offer sessions for all ages and levels – from Kids classes focusing on developing healthy movement patterns, posture and muscle tone, to group mat classes for athletes looking to enhance their performance, and individual sessions tailored to the individual needs of the client.

My love of sport from an early age – swimming, running, rock-climbing, mountaineering and mountain biking – created an awareness of, and fascination with movement, fitness, and injuries and their rehabilitation.

Gabi Harris

My relationship with movement and exercise began as a young girl with ballet and modern dance classes. I continued to swim, and play tennis and netball throughout high school, and took movement studies as part of my Drama degree at university.

I worked in London during the period 2001-2005, when I specialised in gym instruction, personal training, Paul Check Swiss Ball, kinesiology, therapeutic deep tissue massage, chair massage, and anatomy and physiology.

Chad Keet

Pilates and Dance instructor, Massage Therapist

My love for dance and movement led me to obtain a Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training certificate through Body Arts and Science International in 2009; I had found that Pilates strengthened me as a dancer and is an amazing form of cross training. I also qualified in therapeutic and sports massage.

Liz Nienaber

Pilates Instructor

My movement journey began at a very young age with my first ballet class. My passion was ignited, and it led me to a career as a professional ballerina that lasted over a decade. During my dancing years, I was introduced to Pilates and all of it's benefits.
