As a dancer and classical ballerina exercise has always been a central point around which Kayla lived her life so when she was first introduced to Pilates while completing her Human Movement Science degree at the University of Pretoria she instantly fell in love with the exercise method. Kayla has genetic Spinal scoliosis and once pilates became a daily routine she was able to live life pain-free- it was this benefit it had on her that made her realize that Pilates was without a doubt her calling. She went on to graduate from UP as the top of her class, was invited into the worlds international honor society on academic merit and completed her BASI Pilates course- this qualification is held in the highest regard worldwide.
Kayla then opened FLEX in 2016 and continued to study further to complete her Pilates Equipment, Barre, Yoga, Rehabilitation, Anatomy and Physiology certifications.
