20.01.2022 NEW!! BARRE BEGINNER COURSE // Barre is a 55 minute class incorporating elements of ballet, yoga and pilates. It is a low impact workout combined with higher i...ntensity movements designed to create focus on control, activation and strengthening of the whole body. The class is set to upbeat music and is a fun and invigorating workout that can challenge coordination, balance and flexibility and be modified to suit all participants The beauty of a beginners barre class is that participants are introduced to the language, exercises, positions and flow at a steadier pace, highlighting precision of movement. The beginners classes also allow for participants to ask questions, and offer guidance on how modifications can be made to suit body type, condition, injuries and coordination. After the course, you will also receive a 1 month unlimited pass to our studio to try all of our barre, yoga and pilates classes!

13.01.2022 WE HAVE NEW CLASSES! // Since re-opening, we have received some feedback on our afternoon class times. Some people are loving the earlier 6.15pm classes which a...re only possible with a 5.20pm start, while some preferred our previous 5:30pm classes to allow a little extra time to travel from work which means changing back to 6.30pm for the following class... To make the fairest decision going forward, we have decided to take a vote. Please comment below & let us know which afternoon class times you would prefer: 1 5:20pm & 6:15pm, OR 2 5:30pm & 6:30pm We will also be adding 5 new classes to our timetable starting from the 1st September Join us for: 6am Tuesday Flow Yoga with Hayley 6am Thursday Core Yoga with Cindy 1pm Monday Flow Yoga with Bev 1pm Wednesday Flow Yoga with Bec We thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we have rebuilt our schedule It is difficult making decisions in such uncertain times when restrictions can come back with a days notice... but while things stay as they are in sunny NQ we want to fill our timetable up as much as possible! Thank you for your help - keep an eye on our page for updates!

Tanya at Heal'r in Melbourne. A great local small business that is operating again in a COVIDSafe way with local MP Katie Allen. Read more https://www.dailymail.co.uk//Scott-Morrison-finally-learns

01.01.2022 WHY PRACTISE TRIGGER BALL THERAPY? // If you suffer from a stiff back, tight hips, sore feet or neck, trigger ball therapy may be something for you to look in...to! In our busy day to day lives, we can unconsciously build up a lot of stress and tension in the body which often appears as knots, pain and tightness in certain areas When we apply pressure to the tense areas, tightness in the muscles tends to soothe and we feel a great sense of relief. Trigger ball therapy uses the ball against the body to apply specific pressure to a stiff or aching spot in a muscle by trapping it between your body and something else (the floor, a wall, another body part etc.) When used in conjunction with the breath, the ball helps us to reach and release areas that we couldn't do so with our hands. Trigger Ball Therapy is an empowering tool to learn about, as you will gain the knowledge to self soothe muscles within your own body as you feel them start to tighten If you're interested in learning more, our Self Massage Roll & Release Workshop is this Sunday 22nd November from 2:30pm - 3:45pm This workshop will be hosted by the amazing Kat who has over 10 years experience working with people in this area!
