Get to Know Narelle

Hi!  I’m Narelle Pekin, the founder of Just Move Pilates.

I am a comprehensively trained Polestar Pilates studio teacher.  

My own Pilates journey started about 10 years ago to help and improve my shoulder mobility and strength after surgery.  Pilates sessions quickly became my ‘ME time’, the highlight of my week.  Pilates improved my posture, my strength, my flexibility but most importantly it allowed me to feel complete mind and body connection without distraction of everyday life! I soon found myself wanting to know and learn more about ‘the why and the how’ of each exercise I was doing. 

I decided to embark on studying Pilates with Polestar Pilates Australia, so I could use my passion and knowledge to help others move their body with intention, to feel better, to feel stronger, to feel more mobile and to feel more confident!

I am a mum to three (now adult) children, a wife, a lover of all things craft, outdoors and movement. Like most families, mine has had its tough times especially around health related illnesses.  Cancer and stroke are two areas of health I personally want to help bring movement too after seeing firsthand the impacts they can make on the mind, body and spirit.  And more recently my own journey with being diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis and the challenges it brings to my own body and mind in everyday life.

My purpose at Just Move Pilates is to help you move better today, so you can enjoy tomorrow!!
