Kira Gwyther
Studying Master Of Chiropractic Sciences & Clinical Pilates Instructor
Kira’s love for Pilates began years ago while working overseas, and it’s since grown into a passion for clinical Pilates and rehab-based movement. She thrives on the detail breaking down anatomy, applying purposeful programming, and using hands-on cueing to help clients connect with their bodies in ways they never thought possible.
Her favourite part? Watching clients progress whether it’s regaining strength after injury, moving pain-free, or simply feeling more confident in their bodies. For Kira, Pilates isn’t “just a workout”; it’s a lifelong practice in connection, community, and core strength.
