Naturally Norris Pilates Wagga

Our goal is to walk (run, skip, or twirl) with you on your journey of wellness. We believe it is a partnership, not a dictatorship, as you move towards your vision of better health and fitness. We love communication and always want you to get the most out of your sessions, as it is your time and your money. You should always feel better leaving than when you walked in, and better the next day.

Naturally Norris Pilates was born from founder Kara Norris’s personal journey of healing and rediscovery. While training as a full-time dancer, Kara sustained a significant injury to her pelvis and adductor muscle. After over 12 months of treatment with no improvement, she discovered Pilates and its rehabilitative qualities. Through Pilates, she returned to full-time dance training and discovered it was invaluable cross-training as well . 

In 2015, Kara undertook formal training as a Pilates Instructor (exercise and rehabilitative Pilates) and was invited to join the team at Leeon Studio Pilates in Sydney. This training and on-the-job experience equipped her to achieve lasting results with a vast array of clients, from elite athletes to grandparents, from rehabilitating those with acute injuries and post-operative to those simply after a good workout. 

In 2017, Kara moved to Wagga Wagga, and in 2018, Naturally Norris Pilates was born. Since then, her passion for helping people restore their faith in their bodies has only increased, no matter where they are starting from. She has pursued further training in injury and post-op rehabilitation, pregnancy and postnatal care, osteoporosis, and continues to study the human body with a particular interest in how fascia (connective tissue) impacts our musculoskeletal system. 

We see not just the body but the whole person, as physical and mental health are intertwined. We believe Pilates is for everyone and aspire to create an environment with both the necessary facilities and atmosphere that allows all people to participate and feel welcome .
