My name is Ann Mader ...and I love what I do, that is, teach movement in the context of yoga, dance and fitness. For many years I have been involved in dance and yoga. I began my dancing life at age eleven when, after reading a book on the life of the famous classical ballerina Anna Pavlova, I was inspired to dance...and so my dance journey began. Although performing was fun it was my passion for teaching; to inspire others to experience the joy of movement that excited and motivated me. I have taught in private dance studios-including my own, teaching classical ballet, creative and contemporary dance to students of all ages. I have tutored in universities and schools teaching creative movement/dance to the first year and graduating student teachers, who in turn will incorporate creative movement /dance skills in their class curriculum. The fitness industry emerged out of the dance scene with many of the jazz dance exercises and simple dance steps being adopted in fitness industry. I have been involved in the fitness industry since the mid 1980's having been an aerobics instructor/ fitness leader and personal trainer in some of Sydney's leading gyms. BREATHE DMC classes are moulded on the elements of movement, how, where and when the body moves in space and time. Rainbow Kids Yoga incorporates creative movement within the yogic sphere. Adult Beginners Ballet Basics incorporates classical ballet technique and steps done to beautiful music suitable for all of you who love to experience the art of classical ballet. Being a women (and not 21) I have a sound knowledge of the passages that a person's body goes through. In the my teaching I concentrate on exercise and movements that are required for daily activities; joint mobility, overall physical strength, good heart and lung power (aerobic capacity) and appropriate flexibility. Adult Ballet, Yoga and Mat Pilates Sessions are prepared with you in mind, they are active, educational and fun! I look forward to seeing you! Accreditations:

Slow down. Breathe deeply. Reconnect with Geoff at This is Yoga Breathe Studio Bathurst.
Yin Yoga is a gentle, floor-based practice where poses are held for longer to release tension, improve flexibility, support healthy joints and calm the nervous system. More than just stretching, Yin creates space for stillness, helping reduce stress, restore balance and leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed and deeply renewed. Suitable for all levels🙏☺️❤️

Happy Sunday Team
44,072 PUSH-UPS💪
$5,140 RAISED🚀
103% of TARGET🏆
One incredible community. 💙💪
What started as a challenge became something much bigger.
Over the past month, the This Is Pilates Breathe Studio community came together with one purpose, to support mental health and show that every small effort can make a real difference.
Together we completed an astonishing 44,000 push-ups and raised $5,141 for the Push For Better Foundation.
I would like to shout a BIG HOORAY for Cat Lynch who hit the donation leader board early and stayed throughout the whole month, raising over $1000. Well done 👍
Every push-up represented resilience.
Every donation represented hope.
Every participant proved that when a community unites around a meaningful cause, extraordinary things happen.
To every person who pushed through sore muscles, encouraged a teammate, shared our message, or donated so generously...thank you. You didn’t just complete a fitness challenge. You helped create conversations around mental health and provided real support for those who need it most.
At our Studio, we believe movement changes lives. This month reminded us that when movement is driven by purpose, it creates something even more powerful.
We’re incredibly proud of every one of you.
Together, we didn’t just reach our goal, we made a difference.
Thank you, Team Breathe. You are amazing. 💙

PERMANENT RESIDENCE SOUGHT FOR BEAUTIFUL TORTOISESHELL CAT:
I am seeking a forever home for a stunning tortoiseshell cat that was abandoned and gradually found her way to my home over several months.
She is a remarkably affectionate feline who adores human company and is most content when curled up receiving attention and cuddles.
Unfortunately, I already have a resident cat and dog, and she does not cope well with other animals. Therefore, she would be best suited as the sole pet in a peaceful, loving environment where she can be the center of attention.
Details: Indoor cat, Microchipped, (owner transfer required), Veterinary health check completed, and a loving and affectionate nature.
This charming cat has already experienced the trauma of being abandoned. I am eager to find her a secure, caring home where she will be cherished for the remainder of her life.
If you believe you may be the ideal person for her, please send me a private message.
Please share if you know someone seeking a devoted feline companion.
