✨Meet Caterina Romano✨
Great teaching changes lives. Great communication helps people discover it.
We're delighted to welcome Caterina Romano to The Pilates Gathering 2026.
Caterina is the Founder of Beautysnap and a Marketing & Communication Specialist, helping businesses communicate authentically and grow with clarity and purpose.
While she's new to the Pilates world, she's an expert at helping brands find their voice and connect with the people they serve.

Many Pilates Teachers are brilliant at changing lives through movement but less confident promoting themselves online. Caterina's sessions are designed to change that, giving you practical, achievable strategies that save time, build confidence and help your business stand out.

🔹Socialise Your Gathering: Skills & Strategy
Learn a simple framework for creating authentic and engaging content through live tutorials and hands-on guidance. You'll receive preparatory notes before the Gathering and take part in content creation huddles throughout the weekend, leaving with ideas -and posts -ready to share.

🔹Socialise Your Gathering: Shoot & Share
Discover how to capture photos and videos that genuinely reflect who you are and what makes your teaching unique. You'll leave with practical skills, fresh content and the confidence to keep creating long after the weekend.

But Caterina's contribution won't stop when her sessions finish. Throughout the weekend, you'll see her putting her expertise into practice as she captures the atmosphere, conversations and moments that make The Pilates Gatheringspecial. Many of the photos, videos and stories you see across our social media channels will be created by Caterina as the weekend unfolds.

✨Meet Joakim Valsinger ✨

Pilates has been the centre of Joakim Valsinger's professional life for more than two decades, but he still approaches it with the curiosity of a lifelong student.
We're delighted that Joakim, who has been presenting at The Pilates Gathering since before the Pandemic shut things down, will once again be sharing ideas, experiences and a few favourite challenges throughout the weekend.
An award-winning NCPT-certified Pilates Teacher, Sports Therapist and 2nd Generation Pilates Teacher, Joakim trained under Lo**ta San Miguel and now mentors future teachers through Lo**ta's Legacy.
From his studio in Perth, Scotland, he specialises in back pain, physical activity promotion and helping people discover practical solutions through movement.
This year Joakim will present four very different sessions:

🔹Big Results on a Small Frame
Discover why the Pilates Chair is one of Joseph Pilates' most ingenious creations. Despite its small footprint, the Chair offers an extraordinary range of strength, balance and coordination challenges -all while having a lot of fun.

🔹The Nemesis Session: Reformer Edition
We all have that one Reformer exercise we'd rather avoid. Submit your nemesis and together we'll explore progressions, regressions and fresh approaches to help turn your least favourite exercise into your biggest success.

🔹Pilates for the Disabled Child
A very personal session featuring Joakim's son, Albie, who has Prader-Willi Syndrome. Observe how Pilates can be adapted for children with low muscle tone, developmental challenges and poor coordination, and see how the Balanced Body Apparatus support movement in creative and inspiring ways.*

🔹SpineFitter on the Mat
Start your day with a fun 45-minute workout exploring the SpineFitter. Experience self-massage, support, instability and challenge as this deceptively simple piece of equipment transforms familiar Matwork exercises.
Joakim is passionate about bringing people together to learn from one another. If you leave the weekend with a new idea, a new friend or a new perspective, he'll consider The Pilates Gathering a success.

*Please note: the disabled child session may be shortened or cancelled depending on Albie's needs on the day.

✨ It’s not just Pilates… ✨

It’s the conversations, the connections, the laughter, the friendships — and yes, even a little Scottish ceilidh dancing! 💃🏻🕺🏻

The Pilates Gathering is about bringing people together, both inside and outside the studio, to learn, share, connect and have a lot of fun along the way.

Because some of the best memories happen when the day’s learning is done. 🤍

📍 Stirling, Scotland
📅 25–26 September 2026

And who knows… maybe this year’s ceilidh will be even better! 👀
