LARISSA BOLLIGER
Pilates Guru
I am an Active IQ, FitPro registered Mat Pilates Instructor and Personal Trainer. I hold The Thoughtful Body Mama’s Pilates Pregnancy and Postnatal Postgraduate Qualification and Award in Supporting Pre and Postnatal clients with Exercise and Nutrition. I also hold a certificate in Barre Pilates Method Training.
I am currently working toward my Physiotherapy and Pilates Rehabilitation Centre Teacher Training Certificate for equipment and matwork in affiliation with Alan Herdman (PPRC).
I work with local physiotherapists, osteopaths and podiatrists to ensure smooth rehabilitation after injury or surgery. I also work alongside the professionals at Willow Grace Perinatal, which is a local well-woman's hub.
​
My passion is to help people. Everyone is different and everyone is seeking fitness for different reasons. I believe that movement is medicine and consistence is key. I also believe that successful exercise should combine a strong body and a strong mind. Pilates focuses on a strong muscle to mind connection which makes each movement very powerful. Therefore I am a firm believer in the power of Pilates for so much more than just fitness, it is a tool to aid complete physical and mental wellbeing.
​
We are all at different levels of fitness and exercise or in fact rehabilitation and I’m here to help you reach your personal goals.

CLASSES & TRAINNING
All my classes combine a postural and core setup, warm up, balance exercises, standing cardio with weights, mat exercises and a cool down.
​
I run a full weekly online program of Pilates classes. I offer in person classes for both Ante and Postnatal and Pilates for all abilities. My classes are suitable for all ages and abilities. I offer one to one sessions online or face to face in my home studio. These range from mat pilates, reformer work, ante and postnatal pilates and personal training.
​​At La Pilates, I design my classes to help strengthen, tone and improve your performance and flexibility through a series of mobility and movement exercises. This happens in a relaxing, inspiring and friendly atmosphere.
​
My aim is to help you to move, look & feel fabulous!
