The Studio
The Studio opened its doors in May 2010 and is situated right in the centre of Ilkley, in Crescent Court behind the famous Crescent Hotel just off the thriving shopping area of Brook street and The Grove. Ample parking is just a couple of minutes walk away.
Kirstin has used her wealth of experience of teaching in widely differing Pilates Studios around the world, in terms of teaching style, studio structure and equipment, to develop Pure Pilates in Ilkley as a calm, relaxing and 'me-time' place to exercise and learn about your own body.
Kirstin Ferrie
Kirstin Ferrie has been practising and teaching Pilates since 1997. She has a variety of international, comprehensive Pilates qualifications and is a Level 5 Romana's Pilates Teacher having completed her training with Kinetic Pilates (London) and Marjorie Oron of The Pilates Studio in The Hague. She has brought to Ilkley her extensive experience gained working in studios around the world, in London, New York, the Caribbean and Australia, and in Pilates Teacher Training.
As a dancer at Northern School of Contemporary Dance and London Contemporary Dance School, Pilates was part of the daily conditioning routine and it has allowed her to travel and to work with a wide range of clients from celebrities to athletes; from clients who just wish to get fitter to those with chronic pain.
"After all the years of teaching it still excites me to see the dramatic effect Pilates has for a client's confidence, and more importantly their quality of life. All my clients are taught Pilates as it was originally taught, on the equipment and progressing to Matwork which, if handled correctly, is superbly beneficial for them.”
- Kirstin Ferrie
“From my first session Kirstin has created individually tailored sessions, changing my previously more muscular physique to become leaner, stronger and more flexible, which in turn has greatly improved my posture. Kirstin is a highly skilled and experienced teacher who can clearly explain to even the beginner the purpose and correctpositioning for each and every exercise. I personally have been able to change the shape of my body, reducing muscle bulk and therefore weight without any reduction in strength.”
