Kara Norris

Hello! My name is Kara Norris and I am the owner and founder of Naturally Norris Pilates. My Pilates journey began in 2006, whilst training full-time as a dancer, I sustained a significant injury to my pelvis and adductor muscle. After over 12 months of treatment and no improvement from the 24hr pain, I discovered Pilates and its rehabilitative qualities. Through Pilates I returned to full-time dance training and discovered it was invaluable cross-training as well!

After teaching dance and managing a dance school for several years, I became the Dance Co-ordinator for C3 College’s vocational dance course. During this time we implemented the use of Pilates as a cross training and injury prevention tool.

In 2015, I undertook formal training as a comprehensive Pilates Instructor and was invited to join the team at Leeon Studio Pilates. This training and on the job experience equipped me to achieve lasting results, with a vast array of clients from elite athletes & dancers to grandparents, from rehabilitating those with acute injuries to those simply after a good workout.

I moved to Wagga in 2017 & in 2018 Naturally Norris Pilates was born. Since then my passion for helping people restore their faith in their body has only increased (no matter where we are starting from). I have done further training in rehabilitation, Pregnancy and Postnatal, osteoporosis and am continuing to study the human body with a particular interest in how fascia (connective tissue) impacts our muscular skeletal system.
