Katja Kuehner
Diploma Pilates Instructor
I’m originally from Germany and after living in the UK for a couple of years, I decided to make Australia my new home and moved to beautiful Canberra. I first encountered Pilates during my studies in Germany where it helped me get through stressful times at uni. From the first moment Pilates was more than just a physical form of exercise for me. The breathing, focus, concentration and precision during the sessions helped me to connect my mind and body. Besides the mental effects Pilates these days is my version of a painkiller, it keeps me strong and healthy.
I have always had a big passion for sport and fitness, having played European handball and gymnastics since a young age. In 2019, after a career as an educator and teacher, I decided to make my passion for movement, health and wellbeing my profession and began working in the fitness industry.
In 2021, I did my first certification as a Reformer Pilates instructor. I fell in love with the method which is why I started my Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction shortly after with NPT and Pilates Canberra. Studying with and learning from the best in the field just made my passion, curiosity and thirst for knowledge even bigger. I am dedicated and committed to the Pilates method and cannot imagine any better job.
What I love most about my job is building strong and meaningful connections with all different kinds of people and supporting them on their way to reaching their own health and fitness goals. There is nothing better than seeing clients becoming pain free, getting stronger, more mobile and feeling comfortable in their bodies. I want to share the benefits of movement and the holistic approach of the Pilates method with as many people as possible.
