Active Aging & Osteoporosis Introduction

As we get older, staying active isn’t just about fitness—it’s about freedom & confidence. With the benefit of a personalised program in our 4:1 studio sessions, your exercises are tailored to YOU. They will include balance, strength and mobility along with targeted bone density work, tailored to YOU. The focus is on feeling better and trusting your body again not pushing harder (unless you want to). Whether you’ve noticed stiffness, are managing joint pain, looking to prevent falls, or just want to maintain your strength to keep up with the grandkids or that golf game, our instructors guide you with expert care—no pressure, no intimidation.

Active Aging & Osteoporosis FAQs

Absolutely you can! Some Pilates classes are done on a 4:1 ratio with personalised programs. The benefits of this type of session  are:

  • Your Pilates program can be tailored to address YOUR injury and any other physical goals YOU have.
  • You don’t have to worry about whether or not the “all in one” programs of a group class will exacerbate your injury.
  • You can work at your own pace, progress as your strength increases and your injury heals in YOUR time.

I get this question from people of all ages from 30-90 yrs of age. There is no such thing as too late or too broken. Pilates is designed to meet you where you’re at. If you feel unfit, “broken” or “old” (I use those terms loosely) there are a multitude of exercises that will not only suit your body and avoid injury but actually change and strengthen your body. Yes, your body.

No problem, We have raised platforms and equipment so you do not have to get up and down off the floor. However if it’s a goal you would like to work towards we are happy to support and help you work towards it.

4:1 studio sessions are 1 hr.

Pilates can be modified and adapted to everybody, no matter what range of movement your body allows. Flexibility is not necessary to start Pilates or to receive benefits from it. You will however find that Pilates will significantly help develop your flexibility and release tension in your body.

Our Members Inspire

We’ve helped hundreds of people to find renewed energy, strength and faith in their body through Pilates

On recommendation , Naturally Norris Pilates with Kara as team leader has helped me immensely with my physical and mental well being. The gentle approach with a personalised programme in a calm setting is perfect for me. I enjoy my classes so much. 

Dianne Richardson

Walking was becoming more and more difficult and painful, expensive shoe orthotics weren’t helping. Having surgery for cancer and treatment afterwards, I felt weak, so I limped into Naturally Norris not really knowing what to expect but looking for help. Upon meeting Kara, I knew I was in the right place, her knowledge and experience with pilates and how it helps the body to regain strength put any concerns I had away. Before starting pilates at Naturally Norris Studio, I hadn’t thought I would be able to travel much, let alone fly to Bali!!! I put in extra sessions to get airport ready and it was worth it. To Kara and her team, I am extremely grateful,  thank you. 

Michele Xeros

My daughter recommended I go to Pilates at NNP after I had been struggling with my knee and shoulders. Both Kara and the team have made sure that I felt comfortable in the studio and tailor exercises to me. Over the last few years my shoulder mobility has improved and I have regained flexibility. Classes have also helped me keep up with my two granddaughters! The NNP studio is a special space as it allows fellow clients to have friendly banter during sessions, which is such a great part of the NNP community.

Kara and the team at Naturally Norris Pilates are total professionals at their game but more than that they genuinely care about you as an individual, your progress and your health journey. They encourage and support you each session through a variety of exercises. I don’t know how they do it but each session you will do something new or build onto an exercise you already know. If you are looking to start your Pilates journey then I highly recommend Naturally Norris Pilates.

Elaine Bunyan

Absolutely love my Monday morning classes, especially because they have tailored it to my needs and I’ve seen a vast improvement in my core! 

Debra Cheshire

I was fortunate to have Naturally Norris Pilates recommended to me around 18 months ago when I was dealing with persistent bursitis issues. Kara, Kieron and Sandra genuinely care about their clients. Everyone who enters this special space is greeted by name and truly listened to when asked, “How is your body today?”

The team is professional while being patient, warm, and funny. My bursitis has gone and I have demonstrated improvements in both my core strength and my flexibility. The instructors are supportive and motivating and celebrate all the small wins that I have had.  I leave pilates walking taller and with a smile on my face.
