Chiara

Chiara, affectionately known as Chi, is passionate about helping people move well and feel their best. After experiencing the benefits of Pilates firsthand, she was inspired to turn that passion into a career. Her love of movement began as a competitive rhythmic gymnast, where she developed an appreciation for precision, body awareness, flexibility, and control qualities that continue to shape her teaching style today. Before moving into the Pilates world, Chi spent 23 years as a wedding florist. Years of physically demanding work led her to Pilates, where she experienced firsthand how mindful movement could improve strength, stability, and ease the wear and tear on her body. After later being diagnosed with scoliosis, Pilates became an even more important part of her life, and experiencing its benefits throughout pregnancy reinforced her passion and inspired her to help others discover its positive impact. With a background in Reformer and Mat Pilates, Chi's classes combine positive energy with mindful movement. Focusing on breath, control, and stability, she loves creating a challenging yet supportive experience with a signature slow burn. Her members have affectionately nicknamed her the "calming creeper" because her calm, encouraging approach often has them feeling the burn before they realise it.
