challenge your inner core and find balance
CoreBalance Pilates Sessions
Our body is the one home you will live in your whole life, let's look after it! Pilates helps to reconnect our whole body to function well and hold ourselves upright. It helps:
-
Improve core strength, from your diaphragm to your pelvic floor and everything in between.
-
Improve your posture, shoulders, back and pelvis position.
-
Prevent injuries, & protect the back.
-
Develop whole body strength and tone.
-
Gain greater body and breath awareness.
-
Teach the body to activate the right muscles when engaging in sports or other physical activities.
Pilates sessions are different each week, to help encourage clients to focus on the technique, our body and our breath; so we stay mindfully connected. Regular Pilates is when you start to feel the real changes. Typically clients come for 1- 3 sessions a week. Classes may be mat only or include equipment: a ball, weights, roller, therabands.

About CoreBalance Pilates
I have a Physical Education and Health degree and over 20 years experience in teaching and coaching. The transition to teaching Pilates over 10 years ago made total sense & I became certified in Stability Plus Pilates. I have always had a vested interest in helping motivate people to keep active and lead a healthy, balanced, fulfilled life . Pilates helps to create mind, breath and body connections and it has given me the strength I needed to keep doing all that I love. Pilates is about building connections to function and move better and keep you doing what you love with less chance of injury and greater body awareness. In Pilates, we connect the body and mind to become more aware of our posture, core, and how we move; creating a well-balanced body that fires the right muscles when needed and relaxes others - yes we need to be able to do both!
In essence, think of your brain as a house and your body as it's garden with interconnected paths. Over time, we may neglect certain routes, causing those connections to become overgrown (weaken) and others to become overused. Pilates clears our tracks and reconnects us. We learn to feel our body, connect it mindfully, challenge ourselves & hold ourselves strong with good overall alignment for optimal function in all that we chose to do.
Personally, I have always loved being active and love the outdoors, whether it's skiing, running, sports or gym work. Staying active is important to me, but my body wasn't keeping up. Despite ongoing injuries and discomfort, I pushed through, ignoring the signs my body was giving me. Fortunately, my fascination with how the body functions led me to Pilates, which has significantly improved my back, neck and knee pain, as well as my posture, glutes and core strength. I've gained better stability and awareness of my body, breath, and mind. I only wish I had discovered this in my teens! Over years of teaching, I've seen how Pilates has benefitted my clients, and they keep coming back because of how great they feel, the progress they make and strength they gain.
As humans, it often takes an injury or an illness for us to react, rather than being proactive and gaining body awareness and good functional strength! If you love your sport & keeping active, tune into your body now, rather than at the bottom of that cliff! I'm still doing what I love and what's great, is I'm able to help others stay active, feel stronger & more balanced through Pilates.
Our bodies are designed to move and move well! Your body and your mind and all its internal workings are the one home you will have for your whole life. Let's nourish this!
"Change happens through movement and movement heals." Joseph Pilates
