ON THE BLOCK

Time to highlight some great wellness businesses in Auckland!

MOVEMENT PILATES

This might be a shameless plug, but this is the studio where I teach a couple of classes a week. Alongside my tech job, I am a qualified yoga and pilates instructor. I thought it's time to share this great place!

At Movement Pilates, we’re all about feel-good energy and real results. We believe that fitness should uplift and empower - not overwhelm or intimidate.​

From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll be greeted by name, guided by expert instructors who truly care, and supported by a down-to-earth community that’s here to celebrate your wins - big or small.

Whether you’re easing back into movement or ready to level up, our classes are dynamic, inclusive, and built to help you feel strong, capable, and confident in your body.​

No egos, no pressure – just good vibes and great movement.​

Where On The Block:
