“I have much more confidence in moving around when exercising as I know now the safe and fun way. Upper body movements in class have encouraged me to loosen that part of my body daily in a way I enjoy. Lot less stiff especially in my lower back when I do regular movement class. Bending down, kneeling the right way! Lot less stiffness (I have AS as well as back and neck problems). The way I think about exercising has changed and a massive change is that I always enjoy doing the class and feel physically looser, my whole body and most muscles have been worked safely – a general sense of feeling physically better. Sore muscles from spasms great relief often. You have such wonderful bubbly energy while we move, your way of talking, whistling, and explaining what to do, how to do it, and the reminders of doing things the right way looking after our problem areas. Classes are designed by you to target a wide range of muscles and body areas. You care about the people and what you do….it shows”
Heather C.
“I am aware that certain exercises help loosen and lessen my stiff and aching lower back. I know what they are and do them when I am feeling achy. I feel stronger in my body. I love how my body moves now…even more so now than when I was younger. With age and moving in your class, I have come to value my body. I also understand things better about my body and why we move the way we do. I also like how you marry mindfulness, meditative quotes, and movement. You are not just about the body but also about the spirit/soul and feeding the mind.”
Shirley B.
“I have NO more lower back pain since doing Pilates and can lift a bucket of water with no problem. Can now curl up without a bolster. At my age, continued mobility is major, so that is what I appreciate, as well as muscles that remain supple. And I have increased core strength, as well as over the shoulders. Your experience, knowledge, and constant quest for new info and ways of exercising, and making it fun.”
Wilma V.
“I was very skeptical about switching to Pilates after 10 years of yoga but I was thrilled from day one. You are such a warm and inviting person and you made me very welcome. I was and am still amazed at the variety and number of different exercises that you use again and again. I practically never have back pain anymore – I am more body-conscious – I pay more attention to my posture. After each class, I feel very relaxed, more balanced, and refreshed. Your enthusiastic and positive attitude is contagious. I appreciate your observational skills in modifying the exercises to suit me. You are extraordinarily knowledgeable about the body and its functions. You are such an encouraging instructor.”
Ursula G.
“I enjoy the classes very much, you tune into me vs. the routine you had planned I am much more in tune with my body, I got to know it better and discovered I love my body I love moving my body to music, never knew I like it so much. You always put a smile on my face. You are extremely knowledgeable about the body and how it functions. When I am finished with my class I feel my body suppler, and mentally I feel more upbeat. You always point out my progress and my positive attributes.”
Trudi Z.
“Sometimes it is difficult to see how one has improved until you stop for a while and start again. Then you realize what Pilates and movement do. Your smile and energy are contagious. I can also sleep on my back now. My core is stronger so I use it well and correctly. My posture is SO much better. Better quality of life. Better back support. Less stress.”
Ryan K.
“You lift my spirits and sort out my body. I am amazed how you can read my body as to what we need to do this week just by asking me how I am doing and what I have been up to. My Body Whisperer!”

South African-born and now living in the Netherlands, Ianthe has been in the professional movement and wellness industry since 1999. After suffering multiple spinal disc herniations during her days as a professional dancer in Richard Loring’s African Footprint Dance Company, she turned to Pilates as a primary rehabilitation aid for her recovery, and the rest, as they say, is history! Totally in love and obsessed with the method of Pilates, Ianthe continued her journey into the professional Pilates teaching world from the early 2000s and has since then acquired numerous certifications, accolades, and prestigious accomplishments locally and internationally.
In 2004 she studied Pilates through Renee Watson (South Africa), continuing to further her Pilates education through BASI Pilates a few years later (2010) with special certification in Pilates for Injuries and Pathologies (2013) through Samantha Wood (USA). Special mentorship and guidance from Second Generation Pilates Teacher Marion Kessel (2015 – 2022), and in 2019, traveling to the USA to study further through Polestar Pilates International, under the directorship of Dr Brent Anderson and Shelly Power.
Apart from working with clients and running a full-time Pilates & Wellness Business, when she's not in the studio or guest teaching, she is helping students on their learning journey towards becoming certified Pilates Practitioners.
Ianthe is currently on the Polestar Faculty training path to become a Polestar Pilates Educator. "Working with students is one of the best highlights of my teaching week and being able to share our Polestar community, education, and world-renowned expertise with each student is an honor and great privilege."
Ianthe’s mission and vision are alive with knowledge, vast experience, vibrant enthusiasm, and unwavering determination to bring joy to the lives of others through her Pilates teaching.
