About
Welcome! I am Manuela Soares, the owner and director of Ki Studio. I have been working in the fitness industry since 2002, and Ki is the evolution of my passion for holistic well-being.
I relocated to Nova Scotia in 2021 and am living and working in Chester Basin.
Every day I see people limited by pain or movement restriction, usually due to injury or habitual movement and postural patterns. My breadth of experience in mindful and functional movement allows me to help my clients regain control of their lives and prepare for a strong future.
At Ki we practice alignment-based exercises, which come from a variety of methods including Pilates, strength training, corrective exercise, and ELDOA techniques. Whether you are participating in a class or a private session, you will receive personalized attention to help you optimize your movement.
