Are you the owner of Lucy Hartin Pilates?

Lucy Hartin Pilates is a Pilates studio located in St Albans, New Zealand. Founded and run by Lucy Hartin, an APPI certified Pilates teacher, the studio specialises in menopausal, pre- and post-natal Pilates. Lucy's personal journey with pelvic organ prolapse and lower back pain after childbirth inspired her to heal her body through Pilates, leading her to become a qualified Comprehensive Matwork Instructor.
At Lucy Hartin Pilates, the focus is on embracing the body's natural changes, especially during childbirth and menopause. Through carefully designed movements attuned to each individual's unique needs, clients will rebuild their strength and flexibility. The core muscles are developed, cultivating a deep sense of wellbeing, allowing individuals to be present for their community, work, family, and most importantly, themselves.
Lucy's teaching approach is intimate, caring, and holistic. She creates a safe space where clients can awaken their body and mind without risk of harm or discomfort. Unlike “results based” Pilates that push beyond limits, her classes respect each person's needs and abilities, catering to injuries and fitness levels. By actively listening to their bodies and breath, clients build strength and flexibility that can be sustained.
The studio offers a variety of classes to cater to everyone's needs. One-on-one sessions provide a private space for clients to share their journey and learn movements that strengthen their bodies in the ways they require most. Classes for menopause are intimate, accommodating up to eight people, and are tailored to peri through to post-menopausal women, focusing on cultivating strength and stillness. Classes for wellbeing are suitable for every fitness level, working the deepest muscles, providing some much-needed “me time,” and leaving participants feeling calm and grounded.

Pilates is chosen as the primary form of exercise at Lucy Hartin Pilates due to its effectiveness in helping individuals regain strength and comfort in daily life. Whether it's fear of playing sports, discomfort when lifting heavy objects, frequent trips to the loo, or lower back pain, Pilates can gently repair conditions of the lumbo-pelvic region, such as diastasis recti, back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and prolapse. In addition to physical benefits, Pilates also aids in developing beautiful posture, a flexible back, and a supple muscular system. People who practise Pilates often experience a peaceful, energised, and grounded state of mind.
