At Nuvra, we believe Pilates education should evolve, just as movement itself has. Our courses are designed to bridge the gap between classical Pilates and the demands of the modern client, blending timeless technique with contemporary understanding.
Rooted in human movement principles, Nuvra teaches you how to move and instruct with precision, purpose, and awareness. You’ll learn not just to replicate exercises, but to truly understand the why behind every cue, every position, and every program you create.
We honour the origins of Pilates while embracing how the industry - and the human body - have evolved. Today’s clients seek instructors who can deliver intelligent, functional movement in a modern, relatable, and results-driven way. At Nuvra, we show you how to do exactly that.
Through a balance of theoretical depth and hands-on application, our training empowers you to teach with clarity, confidence, and creativity, combining evidence-based knowledge with an aesthetic, modern approach that reflects where Pilates is headed next.

About Kira — Founder & Course Creator
With over 16 years in the fitness industry and eight years dedicated to Pilates, Kira has built a reputation for combining deep technical knowledge with a modern, intuitive approach to movement. She has spent the past three years teaching Pilates instructor courses, helping future teachers develop not only skill, but confidence and clarity in their craft.
After years of working across fitness and Pilates education, Kira saw a clear gap in the industry where traditional courses were still rooted purely in the classical repertoire, while studios and clients were moving toward a more contemporary, functional, and evidence-based style of training. That’s where Nuvra was born.
Drawing from her background in strength and conditioning, group fitness, and comprehensive Pilates teaching, Kira developed the Nuvra Method; a training approach that bridges classical precision with modern movement principles. Her mission is to guide instructors to think beyond choreography, to truly understand the human body, and to teach in a way that’s intelligent, adaptable, and aligned with today’s Pilates landscape.
At the heart of her teaching is a passion for empowering others - helping each student find their own teaching voice, connect deeply to the work, and step confidently into their role as a modern Pilates professional.
Intelligent movement, authentic teaching, and mindful education
Because how you teach is just as important as what you teach.
“Kira was an absolute blast to learn from! She came into every Pilates class with explosive energy, the best sense of humour, and a whole lot of heart. The was always right there to help, cheer us on, and teach in the most beautifully clear and encouraging way. Thanks to her, the course felt fun, supportive, and full of good bangers to make it funnier. Im so grateful I got to learn from her”

“Kira was the best teacher. Such and incredible and inspiring person. She managed to make the course so much fun yet also teaching us absolutely everything she could even after the course - she’s always available for questions. I could not recommend Kira more to anyone wanting to become an instructor or advance their knowledge”
