Chantal Kersten

Chantal is an Aussie expat, who discovered Pilates 7 yrs ago when she took her  daughter to lessons to help her avoid hip surgery. She quickly fell in love with its slow and controlled movements and exercises, and decided to become an instructor in 2017. She completed her teacher training through Momentum Studio from Jeanni Chrisman at Pearl Pilates. 

Her thoughts on pilates:

“Pilates has taught me to become present and connected in the moment and in my body.  As I have progressed, I have gained strength and control, I have been able to move through the exercises with more fluidity, which has transferred into my daily life. My posture has changed completely, (I even grew almost an inch from the length and space it created in my spine!), and I have no more back pain. Whether I’m working out, or just going about my day to day activities I now feel confident that I have the ability to stabilize myself and know and listen to my body to avoid injury. I believe that everyone should be able to move through their lives with this same confidence and hope to teach and share this with others to the best of my abilities. “
