About Me

Barbara
Rath

I’m originally an architect but sports and body awareness have always been very important to me, with skiing and windsurfing amongst my favourites. During my time as a student I taught fitness classes, which provided me with the foundation for my teaching in Pilates. 

More than 20 years ago, when I had three small children and hardly any time for myself, I started doing Pilates and was immediately fascinated. I developed stronger, sleeker and more flexible muscles. Not only did I feel better and more energetic but I also preferred the way the different body muscles developed, compared to workouts at the gym. I also liked that I could see results quickly and that I was able to train my whole body in a short amount of time.

Pilates has the power to heal and help us overcome all of life's obstacles, in our bodies and our minds. Experiencing this first hand, after I recovered fast and fully from a quadruple fractured pelvis and a femoral neck fracture, inspired me to pursue a profession sharing the power of Pilates with my clients. Sharing my passion for this wonderful movement method and seeing my clients become stronger, more flexible and developing better postures, while enjoying the training and seeing them lead a happier, healthier life motivates me every day.

I have certificates for Pilates and Pregnancy, for Pilates for Best Agers and I attend ongoing education regularly.

I want to share my passion for Pilates and the joy it gives me with you and want to inspire you to live a happier, healthier life.
