Our bodies really are incredible and magical - and to keep learning about them is such a gift, for ourselves and for the people we teach.

Professional development is so much more than learning more repertoire. It’s an opportunity to go deeper - to understand more about the body, to explore the art of cueing with greater intelligence and intention, and to keep developing the way we see and understand movement.

But I also think there is something really important about stepping away from our usual routines and making time for ourselves.

Time to be present in our own bodies. To move. To listen. To have conversations. To question what we know and be open to new possibilities for learning, developing our skills and continuing to grow.

That is self-care too.

Having Shelly Power and Christi Idavoy with us in New Zealand gives us the opportunity to do all of this together - to learn from their incredible depth of knowledge and experience, while also taking time to develop and nourish ourselves.

Because the more we understand ourselves and the incredible bodies we live in, the more depth, ease and possibility we can bring to the people we teach.

Last chance to train with Polestar in 2026 ✨

This is the final week to register for our last Mat & Reformer teacher training courses for 2026.

As Emily shares, becoming a Polestar teacher is about so much more than learning a repertoire of exercises. It’s learning to understand the person in front of you - to observe movement, ask questions, think critically, and adapt what you teach so movement is meaningful for each individual.

You’ll develop the knowledge and confidence to build and adapt movement experiences that help people feel stronger, move better and create meaningful change in their lives.

If you’ve been thinking about becoming a Pilates teacher - or you’re ready to take your teaching to another level - this is your last opportunity to begin with us in 2026.

Registrations close this week.

Learn the exercises. Then learn how to make them matter.

Great Pilates teaching can change how someone moves, how strong and confident they feel, and how well they understand their own body.

That’s what we want our Polestar teachers to take into every class — the ability to be present, notice, adapt and create movement with purpose.

Build strength. Build confidence. Build capacity. Create change.

If that sounds like the kind of teacher you want to become, this is your opportunity.

CURIOUS BODIES

A few days of moving, exploring, playing with new ideas and expanding our own spectrum of movement - and the possibilities we can share with our clients.

We always love the creativity and curiosity Kimberley brings to her workshops, encouraging us to explore movement a little differently and add new skills to our toolbox.

And having our Polestar community come together in Auckland and Christchurch to learn, move and connect is always pretty special.

A huge thank you to Garlick from all of us here in Aotearoa for sharing your knowledge, creativity and energy with us.

Missed Curious Bodies? Send us a DM if you’d like access to the workshop recordings.

FROM FEAR TO FLOW

An inspiring workshop with Australian Polestar Educator Kimberley Garlick, exploring how the Pilates environment can guide someone from fear and protection toward confidence and possibility.

With the right support, we can reduce protective movement strategies and create a space where the person feels safe enough to explore.

When the nervous system feels safe, something shifts.

Movement becomes less about what the body can’t do, and more about discovering what it can.

Rather than giving all the answers, we create an environment where clients can find their own solutions - building trust, adaptability, and confidence through movement.

For those stuck in chronic pain and protective patterns, this kind of positive movement experience can be profoundly powerful.

From fear to flow. From protection to possibility.

This is movement with purpose.

Thinking about taking the next step in your Pilates journey?

Our next Polestar Mat and Reformer Series begins August 28-29.

This training is about more than learning exercises. It’s about understanding movement, developing confidence, and learning how to work with the person in front of you.

You’ll be supported by an experienced local faculty team, mentoring, practicums, and a community of students who learn and grow together throughout the journey.

For over 25 years, Polestar Pilates NZ has been supporting movement professionals across New Zealand, combining movement science, practical application, and a genuine passion for helping people move and feel better in their bodies.

Whether you’re exploring a new career path or looking to deepen your existing knowledge, we’d love to help you find the pathway that’s right for you.

Live Principles workshop Friday 28 August - 29th August Saturday
