Meg - Hello Pilates Offical, Owner

It was so lovely to meet you and the workshop did not disappoint! I really believe the team got so much out of it (and so did I!); having an opportunity to go beyond the generalised modifications learnt in pilates certification training and being able to really hone in on our specific clients / the injuries we see most day to day. The anatomy side of the workshop was explained in a way that just made sense... unpacking tricky terms and explaining the intricacies of each condition in the context of the reformer. 

 

We sat around and talked for a little while after, rehashing some of the concepts, sharing more ideas and talking in some more depth about our clients.. there seemed to be this renewed sense of confidence, empowerment and motivation in the room. So thankyou for igniting this!

Sam - Feels Pilates Owner

This is so good for our trainers because now we both as owners have the confidence knowing that they are going to be looking after all the clients for us. They all now know the modifications for different injuries, conditions, and things like pre & postnatal which everyone needs to be upskilled in. 

There are constantly changing do's & don'ts in the industry - with this course, she keeps us up to date on the latest literature.

So for our girls who may have done their course a couple of years ago, we all need to stay up to date. This course really gave us the knowledge that we need to give to our clients every day (with over 10-12 classes a day). That is hundreds of people coming through our doors.

We need to feel confident in our girls (instructors) so we know our clients are getting their care and support they need.

Steph - SO Podarity Owner, UK

Thanks you Kira for your online tutorial from our team, it was really well structured and well explained and we were able to ask questions to Suit our needs.

We loved how the handbook was laid out so we could focus on certain elements. We really could have talked and asked questions for hours it was so enjoyable I can highly recommend Kira-leigh she is an experienced and skilled clinician.

The course has allowed the team to build their knowledge base and be better therapists and instructors!

LEAH - BARRE NATION, Studio Manager

The Barre Nation team were so grateful to have been given the opportunity to be guided by Kira-Leigh in all things Pre and Post Natal & anatomy. Her knowledge was exceptional & she presented in a very practical and easy to understand way. The fact that our whole team is now succinct with our knowledge, we can now provide clients with the same information & practices, whilst using similar terminology, giving our clients even more confidence in our teachings.  

 

As a studio manager as well, I can now provide concise information to clients and have the confidence our instructors are all trained to provide greater care for clients. Kira-Leigh also provided amazing recos for postpartum protocols & other little golden nuggets our studio will apply.

 

Our team absolutely adored her and we will have her back in a heartbeat for future training :)

KAREN - Blue Mountains, NSW

The studio I teach at organised for Kira-Leigh to come in and provide some pre and post natal training as well as managing injury in group class settings. The training she offered was simply phenomenal. She gave clear and easy to understand explanations, provided details of what to look for in our clients and examples of ways to offer effective modifications within the flow of a class. On top of that she was a wealth of knowledge and gave us time to ask any questions to assist our teaching. Kira-Leigh made me feel confident in being able to assist clients to get the most out of classes and provided much needed information that you don’t realize you need till you are teaching in the real world.

Selini - Pilates Instructor QLD

Before the course I was struggling to understand complex injuries and to navigate the right programming for my clients based on their injuries/recovery but after I feel confident dealing with any that come my way.

There were So many moments that I felt my shift in my understanding and gained clarity but at the time I was programming for a client neck pain. The lowering of the arms in high row stuck to me. I kept going higher but once I lowered her arms it made a difference.

I enjoyed the quick explanations but they were thorough and to the point.

Expanding your knowledge is key and you can never know too much! You provide evidence based science and exercises that can be applied to clients with all ailments

Thank you so much for this course! It was very helpful and I still go back often to revise the course and program for my clients! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

Sarah - Vive Active Brookvale Owner

I thought it was amazing in the way - you just delivered to the girls and how you are able to explain everything with such relatable terminology.

Just being able to dumb it down for us to be able to explain it to the clients who might not even understand it.

I just believe it was really helpful even just refreshing our knowledge!

Yvette - Vive Active Brookvale Owner

We have so many clients that come to class with tennis elbow, slipped disc, bulging disc, torn meniscus - plus everything else we talked about!

We just feel so much more equipped to understand what they're going through and know what their can & can'ts are in class.

So thank you so much that was amazing.

Lauren - Feels Pilates Owner

We found that even though Kira-Leigh is a Physio and she has all this knowledge but she delivered that information to us as trainers - bringing all sorts of layman's terms so we can clearly understand it.

She put all the concepts, injuries, and their modifications into really easy-to-understand - the way she spoke about the body and movement was relatable.

She was really relatable as a teacher so putting that towards a room full of trainers - was really enlightening.

We all loved the course!

Eliza - Instructor AUS
