PILATES WITH LAILA JUNTUNEN

Laila Juntunen is a Clinical Pilates instructor based in Townsville, working with clients from the general population through to elite athletes. Specialising in pelvic floor disfunction, general women's health and trauma-informed practise. Laila is experienced with pregnancy, performance artists and those who want to live their lives moving better, Laila is passionate about supporting functionality and autonomy over movement.

All Pilates classes are run by Laila Juntunen who, to supplement her internationally recognised Pilates training, has undergone additional, specialised training around pregnancy, women’s health and trauma.

Pilates is a low-impact form of exercise which aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and functional movement and is suitable to practise with abdominal separation, many pelvic conditions and in collaboration with injury rehabilitation. It is both safe and beneficial for antenatal and postnatal women when instructed by a specialised practitioner such as Laila.

After working in Melbourne with top physiotherapists, allied health practitioners and Pilates practices, Laila has moved to Townsville in North Queensland where she is available for both in-studio and home-based appointments, as well as online. LJ Pilates offers private instruction as well as workshops and masterclasses for allied health and other Pilates practitioners. We welcome you to get in touch for more information or book your class today.

Laila is a highly skilled, caring and thoughtful instructor. She is solutions oriented and always offers a range of options to clients. She is an excellent communicator and gives clear instructions, demonstrating where and when needed, and empowering you to work within your limits. She always listens, consistently challenges, and we have fun along the way! I have made great progress in her classes and under her care.

I highly recommend her for clients of any level and physical condition. She will handle it all in her gentle but confident style.
