Maman Women || Laura Mohi

Laura Mohi was working in a gym as a fitness instructor when she first fell in love with Pilates. A longtime advocate for prioritising movement and wellness in her own life, Pilates provided Laura with a platform to launch her own business. Integrating her learnings and practices into her passion for helping others, Wild Pilates was born and has gone on to become a pillar of the Pilates industry here in New Zealand.

We first met Laura when she relocated her Wild Pilates studio into the newly revamped Remuera Precinct. A beautiful light and airy space full of charm and sophistication, the Maman team visited Laura in studio just before a class and instantly fell in love with her space and sense of empowerment.

Laura is one of those people you are instantly drawn to. An overwhelming friendly and approachable woman, she has the ability to make you feel comfortable and capable when you step into her studio. Her knowledge and passion for Pilates shines through and after one class we guarantee you will be as hooked as we are.

Laura inspires us to be better and do better. As a fellow woman in business, she is constantly evolving and has adapted her Wild Pilates brand to include an Online Studio with the desire to support her clients’ busy lives and make Wild Pilates classes more accessible and effective.
