my story (part 1)

my story (Part 1)

I am Kelsey Moore. I come from Opotiki in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. I am mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend and I am a Yoga and Pilates teacher/facilitator. I studied Science at the University of Otago and majored in Human Nutrition. Whilst working as a Public Health Nutritionist and gaining my NZ Nutritionist Registration I studied part time towards a Personal Training qualification and really enjoyed the science aspect, specifically; anatomy and physiology. I had long terms goals of group fitness teaching. I landed a couple of volunteer instructor roles with choreographed classes that I loved, but I had aspirations of working towards something a little more authentic to me. With a slight push and lots of supportive encouragement from whanau, friends a beautiful mentor I moved more quickly into those goals than I thought I would and chose what I believe to be the best Pilates Instructor Training provider available to me. I believe in Pilates, I think that it is a holistic and rewarding form of exercise which safely works towards; muscle strength, increased flexibility, better mobility and a strong posture. Pilates has connected me to awareness of muscles and groups of muscles (and a deeper understanding of them) that I had never quite discovered in years of gym workouts. Perhaps though, more importantly to mention, is that Pilates has connected me with some truly amazing people!
