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!
