I've been seeing Karoline for weekly individual sessions to aid general strengthening and surgery recovery. I have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and had recently undergone 2 thoracic surgeries - not everyone is willing to take on such a case and adjust their usual practice to my very specific needs. Karoline makes me feel in control of everything we do, she makes sure to check in regularly as to not aggrevate any symptoms but still manages to challenge me within my safe limits. I initially signed up for biweekly sessions but enjoyed them so much and felt well enough to switch to weekly ones. I can already see a difference in decreased muscle tension and improved muscle engagement. After many failed attempts at exercise therapies, I'm excited to have finally found something that works for my body.

I have been going to Karoline since I tore a disk in my back 19 years ago. She is amazing and takes utmost care to make sure I am exercising safely, adjusting the exercises, fine tuning them to exactly what I need to prevent any pain. Karoline is an exceptionally knowledgeable practitioner, highly dedicated to Pilates. She has improved my core strength, flexibility and posture immeasurably and I would not go anywhere else to do Pilates – I would highly recommend her. Thank you Karoline!

Karoline is an excellent Pilates teacher. She is both kind, patient and motivational and able to adjust the lesson to accommodate any injuries or aches and pains. She is extremely knowledgeable and I have gone from a rather reluctant beginner to someone who now enjoys the sessions and values the improvement to my health and fitness.

What you can practice at N12 Pilates
N12 Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer Pilates
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat Pilates
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.
