What Kirsten teaches

Kirsten's classes are built around Pilates, and most of what Kirsten leads sits in that family. Pilates Strength takes the traditional mat method and adds more challenge, while Pilates Flow moves more fluidly and has a yogalates quality. Pilates Lift brings in weights from 8 to 40 pounds and pairs Pilates movements with strength-based circuits.

Alongside these, Kirsten leads a few classes with a higher energy. Pilates Sweat adds cardio to the Pilates principles, and The Playground is a circuit-style session where you move around the room between stations, with no assigned mats. Yoga Gym blends yoga and Pilates in a way that is closer to interval training.

How Kirsten's week runs

Most of Kirsten's classes run around midday, which makes them easy to fit into a working day. A smaller share sits in the early morning, before 9am, and some run in the evening or at weekends. The busiest start times are noon, 5:30pm, 10:15am and 1:15pm.

Kirsten's classes are almost all 45 minutes, with a few 60-minute sessions, so they are easy to fit into a lunch break or an early evening. Fridays, Wednesdays and Saturdays are the days when the most classes run.

Where and for whom

Kirsten's classes take place at ALIVE Movement Studio in Mimico-Queensway, a neighborhood on Toronto's western waterfront. The studio is the one place where Kirsten's classes are listed.

Because Kirsten's classes cover a range of intensities, they suit different levels. Pilates Strength and Pilates Flow are a good starting point if you are newer to the method, while Pilates Lift and The Playground give more challenge for those with a stronger base.
