About Emily Harlow

Emily is a passionate and qualified pilates instructor who has spent most of her time singing and dancing her way through life.

She grew up on the Central Coast of NSW before relocating to Sydney to dance full-time and pursue her Performing Arts career.

Pilates has always been a part of her life. After seeing the benefits not only in her dancing, but in her general wellbeing, she knew she wanted to be able to teach it to others. She completed her Pilates Qualification with Authentic Pilates Education International under the guidance of Olga Tamara. Her background is in Classical Pilates, but she loves to add her own flare to her classes.

Emily's recent move to Pacific Palms has been her best move yet. She loves the community and is excited to be able to offer "The Place for Every Body" to the area.

Emily loves to get to know her clients and has a lot of fun while she teaches. 

  • Mat

    Limited to 8 people our mat classes combine a mixture of traditional and contemporary pilates repertoire, creating a challenging class using props like the magic circle and small soft ball. Mat pilates is great for the longevity of your body, working on strength and flexibility, creating long and lean muscles.

  • Reformer

    Our reformer classes will leave no muscle left untouched. With the added challenge of a moving carriage and a spring system to add resistance and challenge, you will forever be amazed at what this apparatus can do! The results speak for themselves. Class limited to 6 people.

  • Barre

    Feel the burn and lift your heart rate in our Barre class. A full body workout using a ballet barre to assist with balance while you squat, dance and pulse your way through the class. Light hand weights and props are used during the class for that extra challenge. Class limited to 6 people.

  • Stretch

    A therapeutic stretch style class that is designed to elongate tight muscles, increase flexibility, encourage a steady flow of energy, plus lessen any physical and emotional stress within the body.
    This 60 minute class offers an opportunity to unwind and create a deeper sense of connection to the body, mind and heart.
    This class is suitable for all levels including pregnancy.

  • "I started my pilates practice four years ago in Sydney and have done classes in several studios during that time. Moving to to the Coast it was a gift to find Emily, the BEST instructor I have practiced with. Emily really knows Pilates, with comprehensive skills in both classical and contemporary she can guide anyone's growth in their pilates journey. I cannot recommend Emily highly enough, she never disappoints!"

    - Colleen

  • "I am very lucky to have been a student of Emily's reformer classes for over two years. While other exercise has come and gone, Emily's classes became a constant in my life. Emily is knowledgeable, passionate and hands on, always helping me to re-adjust my form and making sure I am pushing myself to perfect my practice. Since beginning Emily's classes I noticed a huge improvement in my flexibility, core strength and posture. I still can't believe that at 33 my body looks better and feels stronger than it ever has before, and I have Emily to thank for that."

    - Sarah

  • "After working physically for more than 40 years my body was sore, inflexible and extremely unaligned. I have been doing Pilates with Emily twice a week for 6 months and the improvements to my posture, range of movement and general well being are exceptional."

    - Warwick

  • "Em has been a life saver for me in lockdown with her epic zoom classes. Every class has been different so it's never boring and you never know what Em will throw at you (which I love). Em focuses on technique and makes every exercise adaptable for all fitness levels. Em runs such an amazing studio where everyone is welcome. Be prepared for a tough class, but it's so much fun!

    Can't wait to come into the studio!"

    - Rebecca

  • "I started Pilates with Emily after major surgery. Em's classes were just the therapy I needed to recover and restore. Emily tailored my class to my capability and I have gradually built strength and fitness over the past month's through Em's gentle guidance.

    The zoom classes were a godsend through lockdown and helped my body and mind to stay sane.

    I can't wait to continue my Pilates practice with Emily in the new studio."

    - Karon

  • "I have been working with Emily one on one with private mat classes for 3 months now. Being new to Pilates, I was a little nervous and also sceptical around the quality of instructors. I have been blessed to find Emily. Not only have I had the results in both mind and body through the discipline and focus of pilates, I have also learnt a lot about the practice itself. You are only ever as good as your teacher and I couldn't have found anyone better at her craft. Emily ensures our classes are focused and results driven, and at the same time fun and engaging. I'm looking forward to continuing my Pilates journey with Emily and venturing into the world of reformer soon. I could not recommend Emily highly enough."
