✨ Classical Pilates isn’t stuck. It moves with you.

This October, we explore the Variations and Possibilities hidden inside the push-through bar — expanding how you teach, without straying from the method.

We’ll explore purposeful adaptations that honour the system while meeting the needs of the body in front of you. Expect clarity, creativity, and lots of “why didn’t I try that sooner?” moments.

📅 October 4th - from 10am to 3pm - GISBORNE / NZ

🎟️ Spots are limited – DM us to secure yours.

💥 One spring. One bar. Unlimited potential.

Let’s talk about one of the most iconic pieces of the Cadillac: the Push-Through Bar 💪🏼

This October, we’re diving deep into classical Pilates repertoire using the push-through bar — not just the “what,” but the “why” behind the work.

Whether you’re classically trained, contemporary, or somewhere in between, this workshop is your chance to reconnect with the roots of the method and expand how you teach and cue.

From foundational movements to progressions, you’ll explore the original Cadillac sequences with new eyes — guided by principles passed down through the lineage of Joe, Romana, and her contemporaries.

Expect a blend of historical depth + modern teaching strategies, delivered APS-style: hands-on, clear, and energising. ⚡️

🧠 You’ll learn how to:
• Teach the push-through bar exercises with purpose
• Modify for different levels, ages, and bodies
• Link push-through repertoire back to Mat and Reformer fundamentals
• Bring theory to life with tactile cueing, spotting, and flow
• Understand the historical context behind what you teach

🎯 Inspire. Refine. Level up.
Whether you’re revisiting your classical roots or discovering the Cadillac for the first time, this workshop will change how you see and teach these powerful movements.

✨ Duo Pilates: More Fun, More Affordable! ✨

Meet Belinda Mackay and Deb Johnson, two of our dedicated clients who have experienced incredible transformations through Pilates. Their stories are a testament to the power of consistent practice and the personalized care we provide.

Belinda Mackay shares:
“I started Pilates 13 years ago after my youngest child was born. Whilst I still had flexibility, I had lost a lot of core strength as well as having a sore back. Over the years I have noticed that I am stronger, have better deportment and I have the confidence that I can physically do the things that I want to do in my life. A shoulder injury, a couple of years ago, was able to be rehabbed through Pilates to the point that it causes me little trouble now. As someone who gets bored fairly easily, I enjoy not knowing what the session is going to bring me and I love the fact that Fabio & Gustavo ignore my protests and encourage me to be pushed to my limit. 😊”

Deb Johnson adds:
“Authentic Pilates gives me the complete workout, I hate to miss a class!! Having suffered from back and neck pain, I started with Authentic Pilates over 10 years ago and within a matter of weeks, my body was pain-free, my posture improved, and I felt like ‘moving’ again. The instructors are so friendly and knowledgeable, you are always greeted with a big smile and the question, ‘How is your body today?’. If you have any concerns, they adapt that session to address any issues so you always leave walking tall, feeling energized and knowing you have had a great workout… along with a few laughs. Authentic Pilates will always be part of my lifelong health programme!”

🌟 The Power of Pilates: A Journey of Strength, Flexibility, and Growth 🌟

Looking for a practice that evolves with you, no matter the stage of life you’re in? Pilates offers benefits for everyone—from injury recovery to building strength, from pregnancy to post-birth recovery. Check out this inspiring testimonial from a long-time Pilates devotee:

“I’ve been doing Pilates for 19 years and the reason I love it so much is how the practice can be so diverse and has been incredibly valuable for every stage of my life. I started Pilates to build my core to assist with lower back pain, then was able to progress to excel my strength—I have done Pilates through my three pregnancies and returned post-birth, which I believe assisted in smooth labor and recovery. I love that all the exercises can be tailored to your needs and abilities no matter what your fitness level is—I love being pushed and coached to surpass my expectations of how far I can go—there is always a modification available for your level and there’s always another level to get to—Pilates is a part of me and I love my time with Fabio and the team.”

Do you know? Pilates and can go hand in hand and bring you heaps of benefits, such as working your pelvic floor muscles, your arms and legs strength, mobility and flexibility. It also helps with your posture which will avoid back pain and aches. Prevent swelling legs and makes you leave each session feeling better than you arrived! 🙌🏼

Here is our client Anna , in her session this week.

Check what she has to say about it: 👇🏼👇🏼

“At 20 weeks pregnant I was advised by my obstetrician to keep exercise low impact - so I got in touch with Fabio and explained my situation. We worked on keeping my strength up in my upper and lower body to avoid putting too much strain on my core muscles while also maintaining flexibility. As my pregnancy progressed, workouts were tailored to how my body was feeling/moving; some days would be focused entirely on stretching or gently massaging which was exactly what I needed. I would walk out of a session feeling 100x better than when I walked in, every time. Doing pilates 2 times a week helped keep my body functioning and moving normally, it gave me a much needed energy boost, helped with my digestion and sleeping and (later in the pregnancy) kept my pelvic area, lower back hips moving and less painful. I also found it helped with swelling in my hands and feet. The thought that I was able to move my body knowing that my baby was safe was the best feeling and totally worth it!”
