I have completed the Mat, Reformer, Mat and Reformer mentoring and the Comprehensive series through Polestar. I love the depth of knowledge I’ve gained about anatomy and movement. The resources and ongoing education are fantastic. I feel very well qualified to work with peoples bodies and understand different pathologies that may present. This training challenges you to go deeper and become very professional. I am very grateful.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Polestar Pilates in Auckland for the incredible experience I’ve had during the six-weekend- 12 days course. The dedication and expertise of our mentors—Maree, Emily, and Jo—have made all the difference. Their wealth of teaching experience and patient guidance have inspired us to become educators ourselves.

I chose Polestar Pilates because of its focus on understanding body structure and movement principles, as well as the in-depth study of anatomy. This course is not just about learning how to perform exercises; it offers over a month of reflection and understanding after each class, allowing us to truly connect with our bodies.

I know many potential students may hesitate, thinking, “I’m not flexible” or “I don’t have a rich background in this.” I want to reassure you that Polestar Pilates is a choice you will not regret.

Pilates is a journey of dialogue with your body. Among the many relationships in our lives, the one we have with our own bodies is the longest. So take a moment to pause, give yourself the time to listen to your heartbeat and the flow of your blood, and you will discover a different side of yourself.

Thank you, Polestar Pilates& mentors Maree, Emily, and Jo, for this transformative experience!

As a Pilates Educator, teacher, and mover, Mat Pilates is where it all began for me, including my Polestar training. I’m deeply passionate about Mat work because of its incredible versatility. You can teach and practice Mat Pilates anywhere, making it perfect for clients who need to do Pilates homework between sessions. When clients continue their practice independently at home, I see remarkable progress in their movement, which can positively impact their lives.

Teaching clients online or when they’re travelling is another benefit of Mat Pilates. During my dance career, I could maintain my conditioning while on tour—all I needed was floor space! During the COVID lockdown, Mat Pilates became essential. Without equipment, clients dramatically improved their mobility, strength, and stability using just their body, gravity, and small props. It was a lifesaver for both their bodies and our livelihood as instructors. It also empowered clients to truly understand their home program.

Recently, I’ve rediscovered my love for Mat Pilates through my postpartum journey. After giving birth to my twin boys nine months ago, I’ve been doing Mat exercises daily. With limited time and access to studio equipment, I’ve returned to advanced exercises, even achieving movements I thought I might never do again. Thanks to the knowledge from my training, I was able to rehabilitate and challenge myself back to my pre-pregnancy Pilates ability. I’m incredibly grateful for Mat Pilates!
