Josie Papineau
Pilates Instructor
I took my first pilates class when I moved to Perth in 2015. A voucher for a free class was left in my mailbox, so I tried it out and going on 8 years, I still love it.
I love how each class is so different – I never get bored. I also love how Pilates incorporates strength, mindfulness, balance, alignment, lengthening etc. all in one practice. Lastly, the Pilates burn is like nothing else
The Pilates Lab has such an amazing community. Everyone is friendly with one another and I enjoy teaching in an such a welcoming friendly environment. The clients are very strong and willing to attempt new exercises or push themselves to make the most out of classes – which makes classes very enjoyable to teach!
I have been an Instructor since 2020.
I try to make my classes a good blend of both but I would say my classes fall more on the fitness side.
I guess you would know this if you have been to one of my classes and heard my accent but I am American!
