Which was the most popular out of these three? Can you guess?
Our equipment order goes in today at 3pm, and the most popular that's been ordered so far surprised me.
If you're after anything make sure to get in touch with reception before 3pm.

Client with back pain sleeps 'like a baby' til 7am!
Receiving this email made me smile!
Have you ever woken up in pain or had trouble sleeping?
If your only response to aches and pains is popping pills you're missing out.
A client came in this week with a flare up. Her back was sore and causing discomfort at night when she was trying to sleep.
In that Pilates studio session:
- I listened to her describe what was going on
- I assessed her posture and joint restriction
- Felt her back muscles
- Assessed her movement
- Had a discussion about the causes and long term strategies to get rid of the issue so it stays away for good
Knowledge is very powerful when put to action.
Pilates taught well, is lethal on chronic pain when unleashed.
If you don't understand why your pain signals are being triggered in your brain you'll be forever chasing your tail.
Stuck in the chronic pain cycle so many people struggle to get out of.
Our Pilates program is amazing at helping you identify the causes of your pain signals. We offer many different progressions, regressions or modifications of movement where needed.
It's not a one size fits all approach.
It's the opposite.
It's not an overnight fix.
It's learning your patterns.
Movement, thoughts, behaviours.
Understanding what your body is trying to tell you when it produces pain and learning to settle your nervous system accordingly.
When you start listening to your pain and working to calm your nervous system, your pain disappears.
You know how to keep your body painfree.
You choose behaviours that respect your body instead of punish it.
You regain control.
It's a powerful thing, and I see it happen everyday in our studio.
Stop trying to get rid of your pain.
Start understanding why it's there in the first place.
When your body talks, listen.
Then get to work and start addressing its concerns.
Small habits created lead to big changes long term.
One of the most common conversations I have with clients is about how to start small.
Take the pressure off yourself.
Focus on small efforts.
Focus on consistency versus intensity.
5 intentional minutes a day regularly can change your body dramatically over time.
Seeing lots of workouts logged in the Pilates App today and wanted to do this shout out.
The 5 minutes of back exercises.
5 minutes of hip mobility.
Every effort creates changes in the brain that helps you build consistency long term.
Great job to all who've logged a workout in the app this week!!! 👏😍🧠

We're back!
Aaaaand I've bought a new pack of cards 😍
Pilates cards that is.
The deck of cards is a bit of fun I'm introducing this year. Today's 5pm session pulled these ones 👇
Sometimes we have to work up to doing the exercise, sometimes we get a laugh and other times we realise we're more capable than we thought! 💪
Watch out for them when you're at the studio this week.
Also goal setting for this year is whats on at the mo.
Check your inbox tomorrow for an autofill worksheet that helps you reflect on last year and gets you inspired for the year ahead!
Welcome back to the studio and I cant wait to see you next session! 😁

Vanuatu 2026 is on!
Sunday 2nd to Saturday 8th August 2026!
This place is heavenly!!!
Here are just a few snippets of our recent trip to Vanuatu.
We'll be busy getting relaxed on our 6 night 7 day Pilates Retreat.
Food, fun, sun and a beautiful place to warm up next Winter.
Our Pilates Retreats are fully inclusive for the whole week. From airport pickup to dropoff everything has been taken care of so you don't have to worry about a thing.
I mean, how many massages you want and what treatments you'd like is one of the hardest decisions you'll make!
Putting the deets on the website this week!!! :)

If you come on retreat with us to Vanuatu next year, this is what you'll wake up to!
This beach is perfect for lounging and reading a good book.
I spent some time snorkelling and examining many starfish and fish. About 10 metres from the beach I saw two clownfish in about chest deep crystal clear water too!
The other side is famous for sea horses, and if you don't want to get in the water they have kayaks you can take out and enjoy the sea life.
It's a pretty heavenly place.
Would you like to join us next year?
If you're coming on retreat with us next year, it'll take you just a few minutes to walk to the end of our private island.
This side has the endless ocean in front of you and lots of gorgeous spaces like this to explore.
July/August 2026 we'll head to Vanuatu with a small group for Pilates, islander smiles and a week away from Winter 🏝
How does that sound?
This is the island where we'll be holding our Pilates Retreat next year. It's in beautiful Vanuatu just three and a half hours from Sydney.
The beach you see is on one side of the island and it has crystal clear water that turns to turquoise and blue the deeper you go.
The next land you see across the way is Port Vila, the mainland. It'll be 5 nights and six days of pure chill vibes.
Snorkelling, kayaking and stand up paddle boards are there for you to have fun while enjoying this gorgeous protected section of the ocean.
No stress, no cooking, no cleaning.
People taking care of YOU for a change.
We're still ironing out the retreat details with the resort and it's looking to be a heavenly retreat already.
Pilates, beach, and island feels.
What we do know for sure is that it'll be around the end of July to early August 2026.
Right in the heart of the Australian winter...
