At Precision Pilates we believe strongly in Joseph Pilates’ original teaching. Not only have we watched our own bodies transform, heal, learn, and thrive with this great method, we have also watched our clients do the same. Pilates is accessible to every body whether you are a high performing athlete, an average human, or someone overcoming injury or health issues, or life stressors. Pilates will help you move better and feel better from the inside out.

All of the exercises we teach were developed by Joseph Pilates and handed down directly to the first generation Pilates teachers who studied with Joe himself. They in turn have shared this method with others. This direct lineage is only experienced with Authentic Pilates teachers. We are incredibly fortunate to both learn from these esteemed teachers and passionately pass along what they so graciously shared with us.

Cara, the studio owner and senior teacher, has learned from many of the greatest Pilates teachers in the world. In addition to her original training with Clare Dunphy in Boston (A second generation teacher) she has attended more than ten Authentic Pilates Conferences in the last five years. She has taken private lessons and workshops with Jay Grimes (who learned from Joe Pilates himself), Brooke Siler, Dorothee Vandewall, Kathi Ross-Nash, Dana Santi, Peter Fiasca, Anthony Rabara, Sean Gallager, Chris Robinson, Cary Regan, Dan Agren, Murat Burkin, and others.

Cara’s Pilates expertise is met equally by degree work in Kinesiology at UNB and an acceptance to the Canadian College of Osteopathy, Dalhousie Campus which required a great deal of prior learning. A program she will begin in the future.

Our other incredible teachers have 700 hr Authentic Pilates teacher apprenticeships as well as have attended multiple conferences. Lee Miller rounds our our expertise with a BSc First Class Honours in Sports Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention as well as 1 year of chiropractic studies. Lee has her level 1 & 2 Integrated Myofascial Therapy and is a BodyTalk Practitioner.

Carol Illsley brings a special understanding of Authentic Pilates to our team as someone who used the method to recover from a motorcycle accident that left her disabled for 20 years. She began as Cara’s client nearly a decade ago and has since become one of the most outstanding Pilates teachers in Canada.
