Soul Strength Pilates

“There’s a difference between being instructed and being taught”

At Soul Strength I’ll show you the movement, talk you through it, and with your consent — use touch to guide your body into it.

So you don’t just hear what I’m asking.
You feel it.

Then I’ll tell you exactly how you went and where to go next.

That’s teaching.

This is Soul Strength.”

Hi, I’m Melinda,
I’m a Pilates Teacher with 22 years of experience.
I’ve helped everyone from Olympic athletes to women navigating pregnancy, postnatal recovery, pelvic floor healing, birth injuries, surgery rehab, and complex injuries.

Healing happens when we feel safe.

My small private studio in Tallai, surrounded by tall trees and a running creek, was created to be a sanctuary. A space that feels calm, supportive, and far from clinical.

Because true strength is built when the nervous system feels safe, the body feels supported, and we feel genuinely held.

This is more than Pilates.
It’s a space to heal, rebuild trust in our bodies, and feel strong again.

Comment ‘Kitchari’ to get the recipe.

Pelvic floor engagement varies for each person. Men and women need different information. Women, who are different shapes and sizes need different information.

We all have different learning abilities.
Some of us need high touch support, some of us are visual learners and need to watch a movement. Some people need a lot of verbal information.

I can see this and approach your learning with whatever YOU need.

If pelvic floor engagement is a mystery to you, please send me a DM so I can help you learn about your body.

Our neck and lower back are naturally built for mobility, which can lead to overuse, damage, pain and stiffness.

When we have thoracic (rib cage) mobility, we share the movement load along the entire spine, which can lead to less pain in your neck and lower back.

Press follow for more information regarding mobility within our body.

Feet are our foundation.

If you build strength and mobility in your body from the ground up, you have set your foundation strong.

Your body is one connected chain from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.

When your feet are strong, everything including knee’s, hips. pelvic floor and back changes.

Comment ‘feet’ to move you from Instagram and into my Tallai studio.

~ The mystical, feminine, transcendental Pisces Full Moon ~

~ an opportunity to release the many energies that distract us or make us forget our potential ~

~ the individual energy that makes up our bodies, minds and consciousness is on a mission. It wants to evolve and has chosen this manifestation for its next evolutionary journey. In order for our energy to gather what it needs to transform, we go through different experiences—both pleasant and unpleasant. Every experience is somehow connected to the evolution of our energy. This statement can be a hard pill to swallow. Life can bring the most painful experiences and the most beautiful ones—and sometimes it brings both in the same package ~
