Fresh from presenting at the Pilates Journal Expo in Sydney, we are so pleased to welcome back Australia-based Kimberley Garlick to New Zealand this August.
An internationally recognised presenter, Kimberley brings a wealth of experience, perspective, and insight to her teaching.
Senior Educator with Polestar Australia since 2004, and current President of the Pilates Alliance Australasia (PAA), her work continues to shape instructors globally.
She teaches with warmth, clarity, and generosity, bringing people into the work with ease, while offering depth and intelligence.

We have disconnected our toll free number as we do not receive sufficient calls through to warrant the cost. If you want to call the studio the landline is the same as always and we love a voicemail if we can't answer. Call 03 337 5511.

Please please if you are not staying on site and the Beckenham shops don’t use the car park, even just to pick up takeaways or pop for chicken. It is for the businesses in the centre. The hairdresser, the Indian, the coffee shop and the Pilates studio are all open late and have clients requiring the parking.
You can be breached if we see you leave.

Watching students step into their teaching voice is something really special ✨
Lalita is preparing to sit her Polestar Pilates Mat exam this July, and over the past year she has truly come into her own. She’s grown into a strong, thoughtful mover who can clearly articulate her cues and create meaningful change in her clients’ movement.
Here she is teaching a portion of Abbey’s Thursday morning mat class as part of her exercise teaching sign-offs — gaining real-world experience in a supported environment, with the opportunity for feedback and guidance from an experienced teacher.
Lalita has also worked alongside a number of mentors across Christchurch, refining her skills and shaping her own unique teaching style along the way.
It’s been such a pleasure to watch this journey unfold — not just building knowledge, but developing confidence, presence, and authenticity as a teacher.
July is getting close 👏
