Pilates-based exercises to help you:
Living well begins with breathing well and moving well.
Catherine has been teaching since 2004, and has run her own studio since 2014. She has a wealth of experience – especially in working with clients dealing with pain or recovering from injury. She has a highly analytical and educational approach, a very keen eye for detail, and teaches with empathic awareness of the unique individuality of the person in front of her. She is particularly skilled in breaking down potentially complex movement concepts in an easily-digestible way. Catherine believes that by improving our movement strategies and re-working our relationship with our bodies, we enhance not just our physical fitness, but we can also dramatically change our quality of life.
We offer in-person private sessions at our Newlands studio. Online private sessions are a good choice for those who cannot travel, or for those who are still feeling cautious post-pandemic. Group classes are, at this time, still online.
Join us for private, in-person sessions at our intimate home studio in Newlands, Cape Town. We are close to the M3, and easily accessible from the city bowl, Rondebosch, Claremont, Wynberg, Bishopscourt, Constantia and surrounding areas.

Catherine began dancing at age six and hasn’t stopped exploring the world of movement since. She studied musical theatre and performed in the musical ‘Cats’ for several years. She’s taught ballet and modern dance, and trained as a pilates teacher with Pilates Academy SA, and Body Control Pilates SA. She’s explored highland dance, ballet, modern dance, tap dance, singing, acting, yoga, tai chi, kung fu, belly dance, pole fitness, salsa, and power lifting.
Catherine is also academically inclined and completed an honour’s degree in philosophy at the University of Cape Town. The critical thinking and analytical skills, as well as the tutoring skills she acquired at university, fuelled her love of learning and teaching.
