About Kids Heart Pilates
Kids Heart Pilates is a specialist children's Pilates studio in Ashgrove, on Brisbane's northside, built on the belief that exercise for kids should become "as habitual as brushing their teeth". Led by accredited exercise physiologists, the studio uses Pilates to develop core strength, motor skills, coordination and body awareness in a way that feels like play rather than a workout.
The programs are deliberately inclusive. Alongside group classes and school-holiday programs, Kids Heart Pilates offers early-intervention sessions for children with disability through the NDIS, dedicated work for neurodivergent children, and visits to early learning centres so movement reaches kids where they already are. There is also a women's health stream and an online program for families who can't attend in person.
Parents consistently describe instructors as warm, playful and genuinely engaging with children, an approach that turns physical development into something kids look forward to. With clinical credibility from its allied-health team and a clear focus on lifelong healthy habits, the Ashgrove studio offers a thoughtful, professional home for early movement education in Brisbane.
