About Naturally Norris Pilates
Professional Pilates Instructor
Kara Norris
- Diploma of Contemporary Pilates and Teaching Methodology
- Member of Pilates Alliance Australasia
- Bachelor of Dance
Hi, my name is Kara Norris and I am the owner and founder of Naturally Norris Pilates. My Pilates journey began in 2006, whilst training full-time as a dancer, I sustained a significant injury to my pelvis and adductor muscle. After over 12 months of treatment and no improvement from the 24hr pain, I discovered Pilates and its rehabilitative qualities. Through Pilates I returned to full-time dance training and discovered it was invaluable cross-training as well!
After teaching dance and managing a dance school for several years, I became the Dance Co-ordinator for C3 College’s vocational dance course. During this time we implemented the use of Pilates as a cross training and injury prevention tool.
In 2015, I undertook formal training as a Pilates Instructor (exercise and rehabilitative Pilates) and was invited to join the team at Leeon Studio Pilates in Sydney. This training and on the job experience equipped me to achieve lasting results, with a vast array of clients from elite athletes to grandparents, from rehabilitating those with acute injuries and post-operative to those simply after a good workout.
Feel at peace in our professionally equipped eco-friendly studio.

TESTIMONIALS
Here’s what our Clients are saying…
Kara and the team at Naturally Norris Pilates are total professionals at their game but more than that they genuinely care about you as an individual, your progress and your health journey. They encourage and support you each session through a variety of exercises. I don’t know how they do it but each session you will do something new or build onto an exercise you already know. If you are looking to start your Pilates journey then I highly recommend Naturally Norris Pilates.
I have been attending reformer Pilates classes with Kara for around 6 years. Kara has supported me through post-partum recovery twice as well as one pregnancy. Her knowledge and attention to detail is second to none. My programs have always been individualised and focussed on my personal goals. There is always something new in my programs which I find impressive after attending for so long. I have recently added a group reformer class to my week and have noticed a huge improvement in my strength due to increasing to two classes weekly. Pilates is my favourite time of the week!
I've loved my experience at Naturally Norris Pilates! Feeling so much stronger and flexible since starting a few years ago. Kara and her team are all so lovely and accommodating if you've never done pilates before. Highly recommended!
Thanks for being patient, encouraging & inspiring. Being able to help someone learn something is a talent.
The team at Naturally Norris Pilates make you feel welcome, they encourage and assist with your exercise needs without being pushing but ultimately caring about your injury recovery (in my case). I can’t thank them enough for getting me moving more freely and less pain.
Naturally Norris is a place of hope. Two years ago, I limped into this light, airy, tasfully decorated establishment. From that moment, I was met with respect and encouragement. So to date, I am able to walk easier, I feel strength and stability returning , at 63, that certainly gives one hope. Working with Kara, who has a wealth of knowledge, she is very mindful of the requirements of her clients. Thank you Kara
I've been going to Naturally Norris Pilates for years now! It is absolutely the best pilates studio with so much variety in equipment and such a pretty and warm atmosphere. Kara's experience and expertise is unmatched and it shows clearly through her client outcomes. I particularly love the variability of exercises, every time I go I do something new and different and each session is always so specific to my unique needs. I had major post natal pelvic floor issues which have improved significantly just from ongoing pilates. My weekly sessions keep me strong and flexible, it's exactly what I need to keep my body on track. Love this place, love my pilates!
I cannot recommend Naturally Norris Pilates enough. I have been there for over 2 years now and it has become a home. I’ve done postnatal, mat Pilates, reformer and now pregnancy Pilates. I cannot speak highly enough of the skills and knowledge of Kara and her team. Always personalising and providing modifications where needed, addressing any issues or concerns with our bodies. I have seen massive growth and progress in my body throughout these periods. My body is stronger than ever and I understand the connection with my body to ensure I’m working and engaging my muscles in the safest way possible. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for Pilates.
I can highly recommend Kara and her team at Naturally Norris Pilates. Over the last year Kara has guided me through my personal goals her patience and dedication to working with my body has helped me improve my posture and regain my core strength. Each session Kara has set me new challenges . Kara has always offered alternative solutions for me to reach those challenges even when sometimes it’s hard . I love looking forward to my sessions each week .
