After 27 years teaching dance and drama, Kristy has brought her experience in movement and education to Kosa Pilates, a boutique studio in The Strand built around small classes and individual care.
Inspired by her passion for movement and her own experiences attending Pilates classes, Kristy created the kind of studio she felt was missing.
“I wanted something more intimate,” she said. “You can’t have 14 bodies in a room and be watching them to the degree that I believe you should be watching a person.”
Classes are capped at seven, allowing Kristy to understand each client’s needs, monitor technique and adjust exercises when required.
Each session begins on the mat, where clients prepare their muscles for movement, check in with how their bodies are feeling and discuss any injuries.
Kristy completed nationally recognised, face-to-face Pilates training to add to her movement therapy toolbox. Her extensive teaching background also helps her provide clear instruction and encouragement.
The studio itself is calm and welcoming, with earthy tones, low lighting and soft finishes. Essential oils, draping curtains and considered details add a touch of luxury while creating a sense of privacy and ease.
Kristy hopes Kosa will become a place where clients are known, supported and never lost in the crowd.
