Power Plate names Cook Islands-based ambassador

Leading vibration training brand Power Plate has revealed its newest brand ambassador, Cook Islands-based Charlotte Piho.

First introduced to Power Plate as a university student in New Zealand - when she was struck by its effectiveness and the results she experienced in a short period of time - Piho credits her training on Power Plate for even improving her running ability, helping her top her age-group in an Auckland Half Marathon.

Returning to the Cook Islands after a corporate finance job in Sydney, Piho sought to share the peace and meditative mindfulness of her homeland, developing a vision to create a health and wellness centre in Rarotonga, offering a retreat type environment as a holistic wellness haven for anyone to transform and bring balance back into their lives.

As one of the first people to have developed stand-up paddleboard yoga (SUP yoga), her SUP yoga classes and yoga retreats quickly developed a very strong following in Oceania. Teaching a philosophy of mindful movement helps develop presence in every moment, moving with good energy and focusing the mind on the positive.

Piho’s reconnection with the ocean on her return to Cook Islands also awakened her talent for under-water photography, becoming recognised as one of the most followed female artists in oceanic photography. Now a multi-international award-winning oceanic photographer, she has just celebrated the opening of her Charlotte Piho Gallery in Muri Beach.

Adding to her yoga and SUP yoga offerings, Piho is introducing Power Plate whole body vibration. She believes that Power Plate presents the most versatile tool for her business goals of transforming peoples’ health and fitness. Due to the conscious and unconscious muscle activation, enhanced circulation and neural awakening, mind-body connection can be further enhanced. With the Power Plate having a small footprint it fits almost anywhere, and workouts can be varied from short five-minute bursts to full 30-minute work outs by anyone, regardless of size and mobility.

The Power Plate is proving to be an important tool for Piho’s own fitness and wellness, helping with energy restoration, enabling her to go back out in the water every day to be able to share more magical moments with the world through her lens.

As a result, Power Plate has appointed Piho (pictured) their own Moana to help capture and share with the world the transformational possibilities that Power Plate can bring.
