We weren’t going to name names… but here we are Chereen Smith 😂

You might think it’s a small thing, but to our little biz and the humans behind it? It means SO much 🥹

Swipe for a little well-deserved public appreciation 👉

And thank you to EVERYONE who takes a moment out of their busy day to share the warm fuzzies 🥰

(Blooper included to prove this isn’t AI generated 😅)

Less Shan on the timetable… more Shan in your feed 👋

Between MomLyf, running 2 studios and growing another small human, it’s been a juggle!

I’m sad to be teaching less, but SO grateful for our amazing team keeping you moving and bringing the good vibes 🔥

And the IRONY of running Pilates studios while my own Pilates slips to the bottom of the list? Yep… time to practise what I preach! 😅

So you’ll see me on the Reformer next to you, and popping up here for a few more ShanChats, studio stories and cheeky laughs.

Already part of our Movement crew? Love you. Yet to join us? Hiiii - I’m so glad you’re here!

Ps I’m still teaching Ellerslie Monday 12pm, Karaka Tuesday 915am, and the occasional cover 1 come hang out in real life please and thank you! 🙏

Just a little giggle for your Thursday 😂

NO judgement from us - we’ve ALL been there.

The wobbles. The “oopsies, wrong leg” moments. Getting tangled in the straps. Somehow ending up upside-down-back-to-front… it’s ALL part of the Pilates journey.

Our friendly teachers are there to guide, cue and support you every step of the way. BUT we’re not expecting perfection.

We’re celebrating you showing up, giving it a go and exploring a few creative “shapes & interpretations” along the way 😅

And with every class, you’ll feel a little more confident, a little stronger, and those springs, straps & carriage will start making a whole lot more sense.

Come as you are. Roll with the wobbles. Have a laugh. And you might just surprise yourself at what a little consistency can do 💛

Hi, Shan here! A little life update.. 👶🏡

Movement Pilates is getting a new (very small) team member… Bub #2 is on the way!

Turns out running two businesses, growing a human AND chasing a toddler is quite the juggle 😂 So you’ll see a little less of me teaching and a little more of me hustlin’ behind the scenes, awkwardly showing up on the gram, or huffing & puffing on the Reformer next to you!

AND because apparently one life update isn’t enough… anyone want to buy our house and/or sell us a house? 😅

Now that Karaka studio is doing its thaaaaang, we’re planning to sell our home in Karaka Harbourside and move closer to my family in Kohimarama.

So I’m being a bit cheeky & calling on the Movement Pilates property network 😂

Karaka legends - know someone looking to buy in Karaka Harbourside? Slide into my DMs 👀

Ellerslie legends - know someone thinking of selling around Ellerslie / Remuera / Meadowbank / Kohi / St Heliers? ALSO slide into my DMs 😂

Apparently we’re doing Pilates and property matchmaking now 🏡🤷‍♀️

With love & lunges,
xx Shan, Rob & Coop (+ 👶)

OHMYGOLLY… SEVEN YEARS!! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

Approximately one billion lunges, a suspicious amount of shaking and some truly sensational facials 🤪

All in the name of stronger bodies, resilient minds, happier, healthier humans - ready to say YES to whatever adventures (or curveballs!) life throws our way 💛

Words can’t describe how much we LOVE this community. Thank you for showing up, bringing the good vibes and making Movement what it is 🥹

And of course, a special shoutout to Joseph Pilates - the legend himself - for starting the movement that brought us all here 👏

Here’s to Year 8, Ellerslie legends! 🥂

Love Shan & the Ellerslie Team xx

We totally get it! Trying something new (or walking into a new studio) can feel a little scary & intimidating 💛

But we promise you this
💛 Welcoming, friendly humans
✨ Fun, positive vibes
💪 Classes that meet you where you’re at (& get results!)
🪩 Weird impromptu dance parties? Hehe

We’re all about making Pilates feel fun, empowering, and something you actually look forward to - you’ll walk out feeling better than when you walked in FOR SURE 🙌

If you’ve been thinking about trying Pilates but just need a little nudge (by a bunch of passionate Pilates goofballs) - this video is your sign!

Curious? Send us a DM and we’ll chat about how we can best support you getting started 💪

Ps the core workout we got from the giggles trying to film this was 🔥
