Hi, I’m Pavithra! Happy to be known as Pavee. I am a Certified STOTT® Pilates instructor with over 10 years of experience as a physical therapist. Like my younger self (still young though ;P), I’ve always been intrigued by the most complex & beautiful structure – the human body. My interest in sports and a more holistic way of working with the human body forged my career as a physical therapist. I TRULY LOVE healing people!
I knew there was something more to my career than just being a physical therapist. I was motivated to learn a movement modality that could complement my skills and knowledge as a physical therapist. This led my career path to Pilates! In 2013, I became a Level 1 certified STOTT® Pilates instructor. I have also completed my Level 2 TRX Sports Medicine certification. In particular, I have a special interest in working with women whether they are athletic, in chronic pain, recovering from injuries or surgeries, pre-natal, post-natal or elderly.
Personally, Pilates has been a transformative life experience in my own mental health journey, particularly after I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in 2018. Pilates played a tremendous role in helping me recover. I am incredibly grateful for the benefits of Pilates in helping me heal and manage my mental health.
I have been a physical therapist and a STOTT® Pilates instructor for 11 years now. I LOVE seeing the physical, mental and emotional progress of all my clients. Pilates is so much more than a fitness routine. It’s a sustainable way of life that can support you well into your golden years!!
I love to read, plant and cook. I am a HUGE animal person. I have two maltipoo’s, Noir & Myka. They are my world! If you want to make me happy, just get me some gummies. My favourite flavours are dark chocolate raspberry & chocolate mint! YUM!!!
