About Us
NICKY KIEL
Nicky is a mat and reformer Pilates instructor devoted to helping people feel strong, capable and deeply connected to their bodies. Her approach blends dynamic, strength-focused movement with intentional breath and moments of stillness, creating sessions that energise the body while grounding the mind.
​
With a background in Pilates through the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute and an Honours degree in Psychology from the University of Queensland, Nicky brings a thoughtful, holistic lens to her teaching. She is passionate about nervous system regulation, longevity, and sustainable strength, supporting clients to reduce pain, improve mobility and build resilience both physically and mentally.
​
As the founder of Kiel Pilates, community is at the heart of everything she creates. This retreat is an extension of that philosophy, a space to move with purpose, reconnect with yourself, and leave feeling stronger, clearer and deeply restored.
TIA EDDY
Tia has a lifelong passion for movement and fitness, which began with a background in dance. At the age of 17, a significant injury led her to a year of rehabilitation. This experience not only helped her regain her strength but also introduced Tia to Pilates.
Her teaching style can be encapsulated in three words: Flow, Challenge, and Burn. Each session is designed to offer a seamless flow of movements, presenting challenges that push clients beyond their comfort zones, and ensuring a satisfying burn that signifies progress and strength. Clients love Tia for her seamless, flowing sequences that allow you to strengthen each area of the body in every class.
The most rewarding aspect of being a Pilates instructor for Tia is witnessing her clients' strength and improvement. She finds joy in seeing clients challenge themselves and surpass their own expectations, making every moment in the studio worthwhile.
