Pilates Team
Olga

She has fallen in love with Pilates as a functional and low-impact exercise – with an eternal variety of movements to offer.

Kelli’s enthusiastic and fun-loving spirit has been a part of the Beyond Move team since the beginning.
She is a classically trained Ballet and Contemporary dancer. She discovered Cassey Ho’s Pop Pilates in 2012, and after feeling the benefits in her body and mind, she decided to gain her teaching qualification.
Her bright sociable personality and cracking tunes inject her classes with pure fun. She wants participants to enjoy what they do in her classes while focussing on why they are there.
Bev Kotey
Stott Pilates Teacher
When Bev was planning a career change, Stott Mat Pilates caught her attention - a contemporary form of Pilates which focuses on biomechanics and sports science. Since then, she has completed numerous training courses in Reformer Pilates and Cadillac Chair, amongst others.
Bev started her fitness journey in her mid-30s, during a period in her life when she felt she needed an energy boost and discovered that moving was great for her body but also, crucially, for her mental health. She has been teaching Pilates since 2014.
I want people to work hard, but it's not serious - we can chuckle while moving. If we can have some levity in places that work well.”
Stasya Isaeva
Basi Pilates & Garuda Teacher
Stacy is an accomplished athlete in her own right. Since a young age, Stacy has trained for the Modern pentathlon and later for Fencing and Snowboarding competitions.
Stacy has a passion for learning and constantly keeps renewing her knowledge. A proud teacher of BASI Pilates and Garuda method, she keeps her classes fresh, varied, fun, effective, and flowy. You would never get bored in her classes.
“My philosophy is that we should try as many kinds of movement as possible. So then, if you need more stability in your life, you can use Pilates; some days, you need strength and power, so use weight training; other days, you need to tap into your flow - so dance! Each approach offers a different way to understand our nature. Move your body, and it will change your mind!”
Rachel Muldoon
Dynamic Pilates & Barre Teacher – Body Control Pilates
Pro dancer & performer, our beautiful Rachel is always looking to develop her understanding of the body; she enjoys sharing the benefit of her experience with others, be it injury rehab with young dancers or you lovely Beyonders. Rachel’s classes emphasise body empowerment, fun and flow.
She says: “It’s so much more beneficial to enjoy movement, rather than expecting perfection. Every ‘body’ is different; I love to help people to learn to love and feel free in the body they have.”
Rachel teaches Dynamic Pilates in advanced classes. Flowing exercises together make classes more about enjoying movement whilst maintaining Pilates principles.

“I want to empower people to remember that they are more than their jobs. We all get so tied up in our roles as Mums, workers, sisters, etc. But when we bring awareness to who we are, feeling into the postures and how it feels in our bodies, we can forget the labels.”

Madeliene’s dreamy, soothing energy and sonorous voice are brought to Beyond Move monthly amidst crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, shamanic drums, candlelight and incense.
