“Promoting strength, mobility and body awareness amongst young people navigating the treacherous waters of puberty.” – Body+Soul
Navigating teenage-hood, puberty and the pressures of social media means young girls are struggling with mental health, inactivity due to a lack of confidence and comparison. Exercise is being used as a tool to look a certain way, overlooking the emotional impacts of functional, non-competitive movement.
“Young people today – especially young girls – are spending less time embracing functional movement, being guided by a desire to look a certain way. It’s an unfortunate pattern that Fluidform founder and mum to three daughters, Kirsten King, felt determined to address.” – Body+Soul
Kirsten King sat down with Body+Soul to discuss why Pilates is gaining momentum amongst teens and how Fluidform’s Teen Moves program has made healthy functional movement, accessible.
“Whether as a tool to manage injury rehabilitation or prevention, or an outlet for non-competitive strength building, Pilates can support teens in developing healthy habits from the get-go and foster a positive mind-body connection that builds confidence and resilience for life.” – Body+Soul
