REGISTRATIONS ARE OPEN – BOOK YOUR FLIGHTS EARLY – POLESTAR INTERNATIONAL INTENSIVE
We are excited to share that this coming October we will be welcoming two of our international Polestar leaders to New Zealand: Shelly Power from Polestar HQ in the USA and Christi Idavoy from Costa Rica.
These are two women we have learned from for so many years. They are friends, colleagues, leaders, and a constant source of inspiration in our journey as educators.
What we admire most is the way they inspire all of us to remain curious and to keep learning. Their generosity, wisdom, and willingness to share their knowledge have influenced so many of us around the world, and we continue to leave every interaction with them feeling inspired, energised, and excited about what is possible.
We know this is going to be a very special weekend and we cannot wait to share it with our community.

Accredited Courses for Physiotherapists
Train in Pilates with courses designed specifically for Physiotherapists
Pilates has become an essential tool for physiotherapists because of its significant impact on patients’ quality of life. Polestar training provides a progressive and adaptable framework for reintroducing and restoring movement in people suffering from chronic pain, injury, or musculoskeletal conditions.
In addition, moderate-intensity, highly cognitive exercise has been shown to deliver powerful psychological and emotional benefits – reducing anxiety and promoting overall wellbeing alongside physical recovery.
A Key Tool for Patient Rehabilitation and Recovery
As a physiotherapist, you already know that movement is medicine. Pilates gives you a proven method to:
- Support rehabilitation after injury or surgery
- Restore functionality and mobility
- Manage and reduce chronic pain
- Enhance long-term quality of life for your patients
For more than 30 years, Polestar has been a leader in combining Pilates and movement science, offering courses for physiotherapists that are tailored as tools for the prevention, management, and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.

One of Polestar’s point of differences really is the fact of how we teach the exercises, not just the content
I think one of Polestar’s point of differences really is the fact of how we teach the exercises, not the content, but the detail and the cueing.
I think it’s a really nice continuum of transitioning through physiotherapy, Pilates and fitness.
