Since 2003 Karin has been working on developing the Contemporary Pilates Method and all of its facets. With consistent engagement, commitment, creativity, ongoing studies and much love for her work, Karin has developed an expanded version of the Pilates Method which is equally appreciated by therapists, dancers, pilatistas and fitness professionals. In Australia the Contemporary Pilates Method is a qualification recognised by the Government at Certificate IV and Diploma level. In Switzerland the self-contained courses are successfully taught for movement teachers and therapists.

This holistic education concept has a clearly structured modular design and therefore allows for customised adult education.

It’s Karin’s life work to pass on the holistic, profound aspects of the method, to awaken her students' love for movement and their curiosity about the magic of the body and its workings, to encourage independent, interconnected thinking and creativity.

For six months of the year Karin lives in her adopted country, Australia, and the other half lives in Switzerland, enjoying the best of both worlds.
