I have been coming to Aligned for Life Pilates for 4 years now. I have a history...

I had been to see a long list of practitioners, none of whom had been able to improve a chronic lower back problem incurred as a result of a sports injury. I was booked in to see a sports medicine specialist who was talking spinal surgery, when I met Katrina Edwards at Aligned for Life Pilates.

I had been in constant pain for many years which was restricting my day to day life, and the idea of pursuing sporting activities and other physical interests was not possible.

After an initial chat with Katrina, I took up her advice to attend 2 sessions a week and I am still here. The results have been measurable and I now have full range of motion, no pain, improved flexibility and my overall general health and well being have surpassed my expectations. I look forward to my sessions every week and feel the benefits of the pilates method daily. I highly recommend Aligned for Life Pilates. - Stephen, current studio client

After many years of frustration of managing the proposed (often unrealistic) fitness regime against my actual output and subsequent results, I finally turned up at my first pilates class at Aligned for Life – recommended by one of my most health conscious and physically fit friends.

4 years later of consistent practice ie. twice a week for an hour, which is an absolute miracle in itself, I can truly say that the results have been extraordinary.

Something special happens when you keep turning up to this practice with willingness to reconnect with core strength and quietening of all the demands of the busy world. My body has completely changed – it is stronger, leaner and more graceful than ever before. The reconnection with core strength and breath engages a sense of clarity which therefore creates a space for peak performance in all areas of life. Most importantly makes you feel really, really good and inspires you to keep turning up – it’s a truly remarkable practice for which I am extremely grateful. You should give it a go, it’s amazing! - Melissa, current studio client

‘After two babies in two years and plagued with back and neck problems I discovered Aligned for Life Pilates. In the eight years I have been attending one studio session a week I have gone from weekly physio appointments to yearly ones. I can maintain my health with the help from the instructors and really notice the difference when I occasionally miss a session. Now I don't know how I could live without it!!’ – Georgia Birch. Current Studio Client

I joined Aligned for Life Pilates after having 2-3 years of neck problems causing lack of sleep. I have canal stenosis in my neck caused by degeneration and computer work over many years. I have tried physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, exercises at home, gym work, acupuncture and have seen specialists over 2-3 years to try and alleviate my neck pain but to no avail. Since attending your pilates sessions once a week I have found my neck is no longer giving me pain and my overall health has improved and my core strength is better. I am very impressed with all the staff I have come across, in particular Kath who takes my regular session. - Pat Sturrock, current studio client

National Pilates Training

I was very impressed with the quality of material provided, both written and verbal … and the well structured class format.  Much more than this, however, I was inspired by the profound knowledge and passion the lecturers displayed in relation to pilates, and associated areas, such as anatomy, physiology etc … and their  mission to pass this on to their students.  It became crystal clear to me that I had chosen the right pilates course … comprehensive, with robust support network and instructors with the care factor that is often missing today.

I look forward to the next delivery day, the next class, to integrating pilates into my life … so much to learn, daunting yet, with the guidance and support of the Aligned for Life Pilates network, do-able!! - Sandra Lowden, Current Student

My experience of the National Pilates Training course is extremely positive. This is a 1st class course that is very professionally run and presented' - Helen Fletcher, Graduate
