Moving Arts is a small intimate Pilates Studio in Pinelands. Our aim is to create a haven where one can experience the wonderful benefit of Pilates at various levels to suit one’s requirement and also find a moment in one’s day to just breathe and let go of the days responsibilities.
The Instructors at Moving Arts
Charmaine Frewen (Kosmas) : My journey of movement began with dance at the age of four. Ballet was my love and focus and it helped to lay the foundation for all future movement forms. I went on to add jazz, contemporary and ball-room into my “movement enjoyment” portfolio. I taught for a ballet studio in Rondebosch and Houtbay for a few years. I then decided to continue on with my own dancing and danced professionally from the age of 21, later becoming part of the cast at Sun City, where I thoroughly enjoyed the exciting shows – 6, Movin’ and Fun & Games, later moving with the show to the Wild Coast.
On leaving the professional dance field I joined the fitness industry qualifying as a Personal Fitness Trainer, Aerobic Instructor and in 2002 as a Pilates Instructor and simultaneously worked for one of the leading Fitness Education companies for almost twelve years.
I continue to strive to increase my knowledge by attending a variety of Symposiums, courses and workshops.
My belief in “Moving” to stay healthy and vibrant in life is reflected in my varied interests throughout my life like: Swimming, Ballet, Karate, Scuba Diving, Hiking & Running. In reflection: “To move is to stay connected. Through movement we can experience our lives fully, vibrantly and with joy”. My wish for my studio is that it is a place for you to “be”, a haven for you to experience the level of fitness you are looking for or to purely add moments of stillness and tranquillity in your day/life. Pilates can be as challenging as you wish or as subtle. Come “move” with us.
Charmaine is the instructor/studio owner of Pilates Moving Arts.
