Beginner Pilates

Service Description

Beginners Pilates A space for parents and older age groups to come alone or bring baby along for a workout that supports wellness in mind, body and soul. This pilates is aimed at beginners, with little extra challenges for those who are ready to advance. Parents of all genders are welcome. Your teacher: Emily Bristow. Kia ora, I'm Emily, a mother of two boys under 5 Tora & Rafi, and partner to Kiah. I completed my Stott's Pilates Instructor training in 2019, it was on this training that I found out I was pregnant with my first baby. Diving deep into motherhood I did not pursue as much pilates teaching as I had intended. I had my second baby in quick succession with only 20 months in between them, 2 under 2 is a wild ride to say the least but I have loved these years of being a stay at home Mum. Following both births, I enjoyed Mums & Bubs pilates to regain strength in my body and mind. Pilates is a fabulous compliment to healing from injuries, postpartum or just core strength and physical wellness in general. My background is in Early Childhood teaching where I worked in mainstream education for a number of years before transitioning to Steiner Education. I have worked with all ages 7 and under, also working alongside and supporting parents through their early years too. Now that I am emerging from the intensive years of parenting at home and reentering work, I am very excited to offer a space for parents to engage in pilates, strengthening mind, body and soul. My classes will be open for parents to bring along babies, but also to parents looking for that time to themselves for wellness. I look forward to supporting you in this journey.
