REVIEWS

"I had an opportunity to spend five weeks with Katya Kinski after being diagnosed with two bulging discs in my lower back. It wasn't until after our first session that I understood how much work was required to strengthen and stabilize my core. The difference in my body was profound. My flexibility and stamina are better than ever. The benefit it is going to have on my swimming is immeasurable."
Roland Schoeman – Olympic Champion and World Record Holder
"Katya is hands down the best Pilates teacher I have ever experienced. I have lived in New York for many years and have yet to find a teacher that excites me as much about Pilates. She is warm, fun, soulful and incredibly caring, but also no-nonsense. (She was a Russian ballet dancer after all.)"
Nadia Bowers – Broadway Actress, NYC
"Katya is a phenomenal Pilates teacher, and her studio is perfectly equipped. I have been taught by her for over ten years and I can honestly say that she has significantly improved my life. I’m very tall and a fanatical cyclist. Only via Katya’s Pilates have I avoided lower back issues. On top of that, her classes are always full of humour and laughter, so they don’t only benefit the body, but also the soul. I cannot thank Katya enough."
Mike Evans – Lawyer, Cyclist
"Pilates has been fantastic for my flexibility, strength and posture. I had lower back surgery, but since I started Pilates I no longer suffer from back pain or feel limited with my back movement. I have also found Pilates to be the best exercise to compliment my sport. Katya is a great teacher who encourages me to explore my physical boundaries in a safe and expert manner."
Leanne Mostert – World Champion in Dressage
"After trying physiotherapy, steroid injections and Pilates in London and other studios in Cape Town, I had almost given up hope. Within a few weeks, I had a much broader understanding of my body and my pain had reduced by 80%. She is one of the best teachers and experts I have ever met and I recommend her to my friends and clients worldwide."
Amy Ellery – Travel Agent, UK
"I had a chronic sacroiliac joint injury caused by trying to play squash like a twenty-year-old when I was thirty-five. After ten years of various treatments and no relief, I turned to Pilates. Eighteen months later the injury has stabilized and I'm hooked. I'm back on a squash court, my swimming is stronger, my running faster, and I can even turn to look behind when I'm cycling. In the words of James Brown: "I feel good doo be doo be doo be doo!"
Nic Bennett – Triathlete
"Katya's ballet/Pilates trained eagle eyes watch your movements and she makes sure you perform them to your personal best. My body’s flexibility, core, butt and arm strength are due to the varied exercises and poses practiced in her classes. With Katya's Russian humour and directives, I look forward to each class with enthusiasm. Best way to start my day."
Sue Luck – First League Squash Player
After recovering from a stress fracture in my spine I was told I should never vault again. I believe, however, that your body has the power to heal. It was evident I needed to strengthen and balance out my body. Katya has helped me achieve exactly this through her knowledge. She helped me to understand the value of precision in Pilates. I have been able to continue with and improve my sport with no pain.
Honorata Saar – South African Pole Vault Champion

WHY PILATES WITH KATYA KINSKI?

Katya Kinski’s impressive history as a Russian ballerina formed the perfect backdrop to the next twenty-five years spent teaching, living, and breathing Pilates. Her comprehensive training and experience includes numerous specialist courses (Spinal Biomechanics, Scoliosis, Shoulder Rehab, SI Joint Dysfunction, Fascial Fitness, Kinetic Precision, and Lyno®, to name a few). About Katya Kinski

THE KINSKI METHOD

In a world dominated by franchises and rigid teaching systems, the Kinski Method stands apart. It offers a highly individualised and effective approach, grounded in deep anatomical knowledge and adaptable to each client’s unique needs.

Blending classical Pilates with the biomechanics and precision of Russian ballet (Vaganova method), incorporating diverse breathing techniques, and recognising that posture reflects emotional health, Katya Kinski has developed a distinctive approach. Known for her humour, vivid imagery, and ability to make complex concepts accessible, Katya makes the learning experience both inspiring and unforgettable.

Just like fingerprints, spinal curvatures, goals, limitations, learning styles are unique to each individual. Recognising and respecting these variations is essential to applying Joseph Pilates’s timeless principles while integrating modern movement science. The safety and effectiveness of the Kinski Method have been refined through a quarter century of collaboration with doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors, biokineticists and sports coaches.

“If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young.“ – Joseph Pilates
