Congratulations and a warm welcome to Kav Maharaj who this month opened Pilates Colours on Erie Street. Kav hails from Mississauga, moving both her life and her studio to Stratford just last week! Visiting in the past for the theatre, Kav was instantly attracted to the vibe of Stratford and so when looking for a home closer to her new husband’s work project, she immediately chose our city.
Pale pink walls and warm lighting make for an inviting studio for those seeking pilates instruction. There are two decked out reformers and classes are booked individually or as a duo. Kav loves this one-on-one (or two!) instruction where she can truly help patrons in their unique fitness journeys. “I feel like I’ve done a good job when I see my clients feel more connected to their bodies (the comfortable, the uncomfortable and everything in between), stronger and more confident as they move through their worlds.”
Kav completed her instructor training with STOTT Pilates in 2016. Searching to mend a hurting shoulder, Kav discovered pilates and has never looked back. Encouraged by her father, at the outset of her working life Kav worked as an artist, exhibiting her paintings in galleries in Toronto and Mississauga.
Today, she adorns her studio walls with her own pieces, that soon will be stickered with sale prices! Kav has also taught English in South Korea and worked as a research analyst after earning a post-grad certificate in the field. However, pilates is where her heart is, where the positive mindset of the women she teaches deeply impacts her own mindset in the most beneficial way.
The Pilates Colours studio is open for bookings from 11am to 7pm Monday through Thursday and 11am to 4pm on Fridays. https://pilatescolours.ca/
