Tahlia

Director
Certified in STOTT Pilates
Myofascial Movement
Rehabilitation + Sport Performance

“I am a holistic-science driven instructor with a passion for physiology that stems from my background in dance. When you dance, feeling effortless in your movements is the key to reaching your full potential.”

“Mindful movement is an evolving educational tool that when used to treat the body and all its components three-dimensionally, will build dynamic stability and strengthen entirely. I have experienced this philosophy in my own body since I was 16, and made this a full time career ten years ago.
My full & comprehensive certification is in the STOTT Pilates method.
From there, I have studied and taken part in as many Myofasical Movement courses available as I cross over into the paradigm shift of traditional biomechanics, into 21st century anatomy believing that Biotensegrity is a truer way to view, treat & assess the body including addressing the fascial matrix. Lastly, I have become a Cancer Rehabilitation Therapist after completing the training by The PINC & STEEL Trust.
I’m a mother to two of the world’s best small humans, wife to my loving husband and feel very blessed to call the Bay of Plenty home.”

Bel

STOTT PILATES REFORMER AND MAT, PRE & POST NATAL, BSC EXERCISE SCIENCE

“Fitness and strength has always been a passion of mine right from when I was 4 years old starting out in competitive gymnastics. Following this passion I completed my Sports Degree majoring in Exercise Science and became more and more interested in injury rehabilitation through movement and assessment.”

“After a period living in Sydney doing what I love and working with some amazing clients it naturally led me to Pilates to gain more knowledge and more methods to help my clients. In the process I got hooked and even better, my body loved it!
When my family and I moved home 3 years ago I decided to make Pilates my focus with a nice blend of strength conditioning mixed in there for fun.”
