Prenatal

SO YOU’RE PREGNANT… CONGRATULATIONS!!!

It’s important to keep moving and stay strong throughout your pregnancy AND to do it all at your own safe pace. Looking after yourself is looking after your baby and will help with a quicker recovery after birth. 

This is such an exciting time and your body is doing an incredible job of growing new life and preparing for birth. During this time, your posture will change, joints will expand and muscles will stretch and with all this going on it’s no wonder some days you have a little less energy than others, and that’s ok. We can adapt your program depending on how you feel at each session. 

The benefits of Pilates during pregnancy:

  • Enhances muscular balance and posture as your centre of gravity changes
  • Increases strength and stamina for labour
  • Ensures a quicker recovery post-partum
  • Improves postural, core, arm and leg strength for feeding and lifting the baby
  • Eases gastrointestinal discomfort
  • Improves circulation
  • Reduces water retention and leg cramps
  • General conditioning
  • Any other fitness and wellness goals you may have

All our Prenatal is done in our 4:1 Studio classes

 

Postnatal

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE A NEW BUB!!!

This is such an exciting time but I bet your body feels different, it’s been through a lot; 9 months of pregnancy (a marathon) and then birth (an intense sprint although it might have felt like a marathon too). Whether you had a natural birth or a Caesarean, Pilates is here for you.

Pilates can help restore your pelvic floor and core strength – and you’re not just a mum so I imagine you have other wellness and fitness goals – we can help with those too. It’s important to remember looking after yourself is looking after your family. Just because you’ve given birth this doesn’t mean you have to resign yourself to a different body. Your body has the potential to be just as strong and healthy as it was before pregnancy. We wish you all the best (and sleep) in this new season of life!

Parent friendly OPTIONS!

You may by this time be craving “you” time and want to come without your bub or it may be more practical for you to come with your bub so you can choose from the following options:

You + Boo

You + Boo is a Group Mat Class for parents with a young Boo. It is a 1 hour baby friendly class that has postnatal and general fitness focus. As with all our sessions we have small numbers (a maximum of 10) to ensure everyone gets attention, even bubs. Bubs aged 0-1yrs are welcome.

Group Mat Class

4:1 Post Natal Studio Sessions

A maximum of 4 clients to 1 instructor and each person is guided through a personalised program of exercises tailored to their individual goals and needs. These classes use a combination of the Pilates Reformer, Wunda Chair and Mat work. Bubs and children 0-5yrs are welcome.

4:1 Studio Sessions

We are a family friendly space

Anyone is welcome to attend our child friendly sessions whether they have children or not. These sessions create a space for those who would otherwise not be able to come because they still have children at home. Children are welcome to bring their own toys and play in reception which is adjacent and fully open in complete view of the studio. New bubs are also welcome in these classes and can stay right next to Mum or Dad during the session.

We’d love to meet you and your bub!

Injury Rehabilitation

Pilates is designed to meet you where you are at. There are a multitude of exercises that will not only suit your body but aid in rehabilitating any injuries and avoid exacerbating them. You will see your body change, strengthen and increase in mobility. Yes, your body. 

If you have an acute injury we recommend our session done on a small ratio with personalised programs, e.g. 4:1 (a maximum of four clients to one instructor). With personalised programs that are designed to:

1  – address YOUR injury and any other physical and fitness goals YOU have.

2 – remove the stress of whether or not the “all in one” programs of a group class will exacerbate your injury.

3 –  work at your pace to develop and change as your injury heals in YOUR own time.

Post Op and Pre Op

Pre Op

Research tells us that when we engage with a personalised conditioning program prior to an operation, the recovery time and the significant physical impact are decreased. Increasing strength and mobility, not just in the affected area but in the whole body, will ease the strain and pain of recovery as the surgery site will be more supported. 

Having increased strength prior to the surgery this will enable your body to engage with any rehabilitation exercise from a stronger position and therefore you will see quicker results and hopefully less discomfort. Remember this is just a season, it won’t always be like this. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!

 

Post Op

For any post-op and pre-op programs we recommend private or 4:1 studio sessions. These sessions allow us to address your unique needs and get you the best possible results through a personalised tailored program.  

With any surgery there is an element of trauma for the body which impacts how muscles engage, in addition, this can cause altered, weakened and inefficient movement patterns (some of these may have also existed before the surgery). Never fear! The sooner rehabilitation begins the sooner muscles can be retrained to engage in a healthy, efficient and sequential way. This will aid in increasing quality of life, pain reduction and will enable a quicker progression towards returning to any exercise of your choice. It’s so important we don’t resign ourselves to pain or “This is as good as it gets”, our bodies are smart and with the right stimulus and input can exceed our expectations not only in recovery but life after recovery.

Osteoporosis

Kara is a registered Buff Bones® Instructor. Buff Bones® is a trademarked and medically endorsed full body exercise system for bone and joint health. It is the integration of Pilates, strength training, functional movement which aids in strengthening bones and balance techniques whilst maintaining safety for those with osteoporosis.

There are 4 key elements to address bone strength and they are: changes in force direction i.e pushing and pulling; load-bearing muscles, joints and fascia; positive impact i.e heel stomping, and multidimensional movement. These 4 key elements load the bones in a variety of ways to encourage bone health and strength. We also work to increase the range of movement to ensure optimal joint function and balance for quality of life and falls prevention.

It’s never too late!

We can meet your body where it’s at right now. We are happy to chat and talk about how we can support your body and discuss solutions that suit you. 

Cross Training – For Athletes and Dancers

As a former dancer, and dance teacher Kara knows the value of Pilates in cross training. Pilates is designed to find optimal movement patterns, strength, power, balance, co-ordination and flow for your body specific to your athletic goals. 

As athletes we are always wanting to get better and reach our potential but when we are training there is not always the time to break down our movements and see where we can improve. You might want to have more control when you kick that football, as a dancer you may want to jump higher or nail that 3rd pirouette, you might want to increase your speed as a runner or hit that golf ball further. All this can be achieved as you take time to refine your body’s movement with a tailored personalised program in our 4:1 sessions, privates and to a lesser extent in our group classes. 

Pilates is also proven to help with injury prevention and is great to keep you conditioned whilst “off” with an injury and to help you rehabilitate it. 

Group classes also available for your team, troupe or class.

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!

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.

Kara is amazing. I cannot recommend her enough. Her knowledge is amazing, the best Pilates instructor I’ve come across in my life. She is knowledgeable, positive, engaging; and she helps me truly enjoy Pilates. Kara has a thorough understanding of the muscular makeup of the body and welcomes all ages. She challenges and motivates each person while focusing on the fundamentals of form and balance, adding on variations and fully explaining the key steps and target goal. I would highly recommend working with Kara.

I have been active all of my life, having been a dancer, played sports, gym, yoga, walking, until I injured my knee. Pilates has allowed me to strengthen and rehabilitate my body, whilst still nurturing my injury. Kara, at Naturally Norris has guided and worked with me to reconnect with my body, rediscovering parts that have been neglected, especially my core and glutes. Kara not only has the knowledge and training in Pilates, but is very intuitive to personal needs, and responds to not only how your body is, but how you are mentally and emotionally. This enables you to engage with confidence at Naturally Norris, that you are being looked after and getting exactly what you need to grow and progress on your Pilates journey. I have felt my body change under Kara’s instruction, I feel stronger, more flexible, and excited to be able to perform movements that I never thought I would be able to do again! Pilates at Naturally Norris also helps release my aches and pains from my work as a massage therapist, enabling me to use the correct muscles for my work. Kara is meticulous about technique, so you can rest assured you are being cared for in a safe environment. There is also great music and lots of beautiful plants!

Kara and the NNP team are awesome! The Pilates sessions are tailored to individual needs, abilities and goals. I was having pain most of the time, being cautious of movement and losing hope for future physical capacity. Pilates has strengthened, toned, realigned and improved so many aspects of my physical health, my muscles and my stamina. Pilates gives the results if you’re willing to put in the effort… and with Kara guiding, encouraging and cheering you on, you will be able to achieve your goals (slowly but surely).

Kara runs an amazing studio here at Naturally Norris Pilates. She is so committed to the development and safety of those who work with her, and she cultivates a wonderful environment suitable for every one and their individualities. It is reassuring to know how committed Kara is to her own professional development to ensure the safety and best practice for anyone attending her sessions. I have noticed huge improvements in myself since attending regular classes with Kara, which has had really positive flow on effects to my other training. Cannot recommend this studio, as well as Kara and her staff, more highly.

I have been a regular participant at Naturally Norris Pilates almost 3 years, attending a variety of classes including 4:1 group sessions, private classes, and reformer Pilates classes. I cannot speak highly enough of the NNP Studio. The studio itself exudes a serene and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for focusing on mind-body connection. The equipment is top-notch, and the space is always clean and well-maintained. Kara is an exceptional instructor who brings enthusiasm, expertise, and personalised attention to every class. Her guidance and cues have helped me improve my form, strength, and flexibility significantly. She creates challenging yet accessible workouts that cater to individual needs and goals. Whether in a group setting or a one-on-one session, Kara's teaching style is both motivating and supportive. She is always attentive to alignment and ensures that each class is both effective and safe. Her passion for Pilates is truly inspiring and shines through in every session. Trish at Naturally Norris Pilates plays a crucial role supporting Kara and ensuring that every aspect of a visit runs smoothly. From scheduling classes to providing assistance with any inquiries or concerns, Trish is always amazing!

I highly recommend Naturally Norris Pilates, I do the 4:1 personalised program and absolutely love it! Kara creates an environment that feels just like home the moment you walk the through the door!! I am currently a university student but prioritise the cost of going to Naturally Norris Pilates because I am achieving results and improving my strength, flexibility and body alignment; this is because Kara pays attention to detail as I’m performing the movements and provides exercises that are specific to my body's areas of concern. It is worth checking Naturally Norris Pilates out! 🌿
