Polestar Pilates Studio NZ

Maree Seerden, founder of the Studio, has been a devotee to the technique for over 30 years; she started teaching Pilates based exercises in 1992 in London at the famous Body Control studios in South Kensington under the auspices of Gordon Thomson. As Pilates has grown in popularity, the Pilates Body Studio now renamed the Polestar Pilates Studio, receives referrals from health and medical professionals from around New Zealand . Maree also lectures and presents workshops on the Pilates method to various medical and health organisations on an ongoing basis. Maree Seerden makes multiple overseas trips annually to further increase her knowledge of Pilates and trains with masters from all around the world. She always comes back inspired and motivated and shares her new ideas with staff and clients. Maree is also the New Zealand Licensee and Master Educator for Polestar Pilates Education USA. Polestar Pilates Education (www.polestareducation.com) offers training and certification programmes throughout the world and is widely considered to be the most stringent and modern method of Pilates certification available today. In New Zealand many physiotherapists, osteopaths and fitness trainers have become Polestar Pilates certified. The Polestar Studio is used as the training centre for Polestar Pilates Education certification programmes. Studios that are Polestar training centres are at the forefront of advances in Pilates techniques and, therefore, are better equipped to pass these advances to their clients. Because of our commitment to Polestar Pilates Education and the constant evolvement and refinement of Pilates methodologies, the staff at the Polestar Pilates Studio continuously update their teaching skills to incorporate these new trends into their clients' regimen for maximum benefits.
