Rachel
Pilates Instructor
Hi, I’m Rachel.
I’ve been a part of the CP Kelowna family for 5 years now. It’s funny where life can take you from where you first began!
Previously I worked as an RN for 13 years in the UK, Australia and Canada. When my girls were born and I emigrated to beautiful Kelowna BC I had a change of path.
I decided to take a couple of yoga teacher trainings. One of them being Yoga therapy. The world of movement and breath, taking care of people from their outer Physical layer connecting to their inner energetic and emotional layer massively inspired me.
Then came Pilates.
I first began in rehab working as a physio assistant then I moved over to Club Pilates and haven’t looked back! Every day at “work” is truly a fun and heart-filled day.
I love Classical Pilates with a contemporary twist and the breakdown of the movements which gets you deep inside your movement and the present moment. It’s a whole world of creative movement.
Pilates for active aging is also another love and area of further study of mine. People are living longer and maintaining movement for physical activities or functionality is huge for mental health and quality of life.
I am your biggest cheerleader, supporting you with YOUR movement with many laughs along the way.
Fav move… any form of planking or side-body stretching! Also LOVE those feisty Springboard Springs.
See you in our happy place!
