Private Pilates Mat Sessions in Kaiapoi
Strength, Mobility & Wellbeing
Want to feel stronger, more flexible and more comfortable in your body? Private Pilates mat sessions in Kaiapoi offer a personalised approach to improving strength, flexibility, posture, balance and overall physical wellbeing.
Pilates is a low-impact, whole-body form of exercise that focuses on core strength, controlled movement, breathing and body awareness. It can help you develop better posture, improve mobility and coordination, and build strength without placing unnecessary stress on your joints.
Whether you are new to Pilates, returning to exercise, or looking to improve your movement, private sessions can be adapted to your individual needs, fitness level and experience.
Why choose private Pilates over a group class?
Unlike a group class, a private Pilates session gives you individual attention and allows the exercises to be tailored to your body and your goals.
Sessions may be particularly helpful if you:
- want to improve your posture, strength or flexibility
- experience stiffness, tension or discomfort
- are recovering from an injury
- want to understand your body and movement patterns better
- are returning to exercise after a break
- would like to improve balance, coordination and body awareness
- prefer personalised guidance rather than a group class
Each session is adapted to your abilities and can progress at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
Pilates Combined with Pain & Stress Relief Therapies
Marie-Laure at Res-source, in Kaiapoi, can also combine Private Pilates with SCENAR therapy and craniosacral therapy when appropriate. This integrated approach can support relaxation, body awareness and movement, while addressing both physical tension and stress.
Experience, Passion and a Personalised Approach
Originally certified as a Pilates and fitness instructor in France in 2012, Marie-Laure began her teaching journey leading fitness classes with up to 50 participants. She later continued her professional training in New Zealand with Polestar Pilates, deepening her knowledge of movement, posture and body awareness.
For nearly five years, she taught Pilates and movement classes in New Zealand, including sessions adapted for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Through these experiences, Marie-Laure discovered that what she enjoyed most was working closely with individuals, taking the time to understand their unique needs, challenges and abilities.
She developed a particular interest in supporting people living with disabilities, recovering from injuries or simply needing extra guidance and confidence in their movement.
Today, she brings together her experience as a Pilates and fitness instructor, movement practitioner and holistic therapist to offer personalised, one-on-one Pilates sessions in Kaiapoi.
Her approach is gentle, attentive and tailored to each person, helping them build strength, improve mobility and develop greater body awareness at their own pace.
How long is a private Pilates session?
Each one-on-one Pilates session lasts approximately 45 minutes and is tailored to your individual needs, abilities and goals.
During your session, Marie-Laure will assess your posture, observe how your body moves and guide you through gentle breathing techniques and personalised Pilates exercises in different positions.
You will also receive simple, tailored exercises to practise at home, helping you build strength, improve flexibility, develop better posture and increase body awareness between sessions.
Our private Pilates sessions in Kaiapoi offer a supportive, individualised approach, whether you're a beginner, returning to exercise or looking to improve your movement and overall wellbeing.
What should I wear to a Pilates session?
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely, such as leggings or fitted shorts. Avoid very loose clothing so that your movement and alignment can be observed easily.
For private Pilates sessions, mats and pillows are provided. Please bring a bottle of water.
For the comfort and wellbeing of everyone, please avoid wearing perfume or strongly scented products.
