Tasha K.

Instructor

How did you get into Pilates?
I was introduced to Pilates a few years ago as a form of rehab for Scoliosis. I suffered from lower back pain and stiffness in my upper back due to my spine curvature. I could feel and see the imbalances in my body and felt like I needed a change. Ever since my first lesson, I’ve been hooked!

What do you love about Pilates?
I never used to enjoy exercising so I was very happy when I found myself looking forward to Pilates. I love how Pilates can target important small muscle groups that may be under-utilised, and the workout can range from low to high intensity depending on what you crave that day.

I still remember my very first lesson where I started on the Reformer and looked at the Cadillac and thought to myself “mmm…what can you even do on that?” I found myself asking to try the different types of Pilates equipment every session. There’s just endless types of movements and it never gets boring!

What makes your class unique and sweaty? 
Be ready to try out different starting positions on the Reformer! A class that will challenge your endurance and get you shaking in the right places. I personally like to work on spinal articulation and I can definitely promise a good glute segment.

What do you want your clients to leave your class feeling?
I would love for my clients to gain body awareness, leave stronger and feel like they made a good choice coming to class!

Favourite workout other than Pilates?
I would say dancing in the past, but now it's taking my 3 doggies out on walks.

Favourite pre or post workout snack?
My own matcha latte.
