Orana Pilates & Wellness - Bentleigh (VIC)

5 /5 Katie Siu: Kate is the best Pilates instructor I have ever had, she’s so good at explaining how to utilise different parts of your body to move so that you train your muscle and body correctly. I have followed her and Sarah in doing Pilates for a long time. They pay much attention to your movement and want you to achieve your best result in the class. Orana is a Pilates studio where you aim to do this exercise a bit differently.

5 /5 Jorja Harrison: Orana is such a welcoming and peaceful space, from the moment you walk into the studio you are surrounded by a community of likeminded people. The variety and experience amongst the instructors is outstanding, I love them all! Kate has created a beautiful space to challenge those new to Pilates and those who are experienced. Instructors know how to cue, provide layers and make the smallest adjustments that make you leave feeling energised. I particularly love the range of classes you can try to keep you motivated! This is my happy place!

5 /5 Stefan Lazarevic: Beautiful open space with a homely, welcoming atmosphere — clean, calm, and with ideal adjustable lighting. Kate is absolutely brilliant. She focuses on technique and somehow guides you into a blissful silence after a challenging workout, always finishing with friendly and positive encouragement. As a PT and coach, I found the instructional cues outstanding. In just a few sessions, I’ve significantly strengthened my technique and learned so much about my body through this practice. Very professional and highly recommended — even if you’re just trying it short-term, go with a friend and you’ll love the experience! Additional 5 stars for the music.

5 /5 Anastasia K: Orana is a very warm, inviting, and friendly Pilates studio that offers a wide range of classes that I really enjoy. Every day I eagerly await my classes. Very tidy space that makes you feel seen and welcomed. All the instructors are experienced and entertaining to be around! The premises are beautiful and aesthetically pleasant. Unquestionably the best pilates studio in Bentleigh ❤️

5 /5 Rachael Feldtmann: Wow! Orana is a stunning, calm and welcoming studio. The owner, Kate, is great to deal with and has created a space and a team that are second to none. Each teacher has their own unique style and together they have built a community of motivation and improvement, and also of friendship and support. Staff members are inclusive of all abilities and always provide a base and extension, give clear cues and offer feedback and refinement as you move. I love the early 6am class times which allow me to work out before I start my day, and on occasion I dabble in the flexibility of the evenings if I miss a morning. I always look forward to my classes (Form or Tone) and having a chat and a laugh with the teachers and my fellow pilates goers.
