Winter is coming!! Grab the latest cute prints from MoveActive in studio now!
The beauty of what Joseph Pilates called Contrology is having control over body and mind, in his words they are not haphazard movements but carefully crafted movements in order with intention.
Backstroke into Teaser demonstrates that the transitions from one exercise to the next require strength, coordination and control.
This is the method, let’s keep it!!

What a beautiful testimonial from Donne. She kindly agreed to go on to social media for me to talk about what Pilates does for her.
I don’t post many of my clients because almost everyone does not want to be on social media, understandably so, unfortunately for business these days it’s a necessary evil.
What I want to portray is that my clients are real people, they age from teenagers through to their 70’s, some wear t-shirts and baggy pants to class, and they all have their own stories as to why they come to Pilates and why it works for them.
Don’t be influenced by the vast majority of what you see out there on social media at the moment and what they are showing as “Pilates” A lot of it is coming from big money making businesses investors that have jumped on this latest craze of “reformer Pilates”
Often times the staff will have in house training which might take a weekend. I encourage you to do your research on teachers qualifications if you want to get the most out of your experience with Pilates. When done right it can be life changing.
Thanks for just being you 🙌
This was filmed 12 months ago, I accidentally filmed slo mo instead of time lapse, I thought it was fitting with the Australian Open, I love watching all the replays in slo mo.
This is a session with my long time Mentor
He knows me well enough by now to agree that I’m a total nut job, god knows what I was saying to him… for the non Pilates people watching this, it’s an exercise call tendon stretch and it’s an absolute nemesis for me. I would have been coming up with some excuse as to why I can’t do it… well I can, it’s just a constant work in progress.
Really looking forward to starting back with my Master next week after an 8 week hiatus in my own practice, I’m busting to get back into it, being pushed and getting upside down again.
🔊Warning: sound on is scary
Move with precision.
It’s so important to start at the foundational level and learn what muscles are used for each movement. Then you can safely progress to legs over head without comprising your neck.
Can you lift your hips over your head without momentum?
In Short Spine Massage, we articulate the spine off the mat one vertebrae at a time, not only does this feel amazing but it’s a great strengthener for the backside of the body (glutes, hamstrings, back muscles and triceps).
On the way back down you have to use the stomach muscles to keep the heels towards your bottom, and enjoy the most magnificent massage on the spine.
