24.01.2022 New 5.0-star Review: "I have been going to the Pymble Studio for a very long time and during those many years, all instructors have been fabulous and very attentive to my individual needs. During COVID, I participated in Zoom sessions with Lauren and I have found these very beneficial and then Lauren and Erin created some videos for me to ensure that I was able to do some Pilates most days. The videos have given me great confidence that I was doing the movements correctly - absolutely fantastic. I will return to the studio shortly, but I will continue to use my videos during home time. Outstanding attention to individual needs. Very professional."

23.01.2022 Today is the day we sadly farewell the gorgeous Shauna . Even though we are excited to see her step into the next chapter in Ballarat, she will be greatly missed. Our tribe and studios wont be the same without her passion for Pilates and the nurturing and caring approach she took to every body she taught. Shauna was an integral part of the business behind the scenes running the front desk at our Hunters Hill studio as well as having a very active role in our social media pages. Best of luck in Victoria, dont be a stranger and keep shining bright like the diamond you are! We love you and we will miss you! Lots of love and virtual hugs, your movement collective family xx

22.01.2022 MEET LINDSAY Lindsay grew up in Vancouver, Canada where she gained a love movement from an early age. Be it hiking in the forest, skiing in the mountains, dancing classical ballet, or practicing yoga or Pilates. So it only made sense that after a career in marketing and PR, she got out from behind her desk to focus on teaching Pilates and yoga. Lindsay loves Pilates for how it allows her to move her spine in ways far beyond the everyday, and strengthen the body-mind-breat...h connection. Some of her favourite exercises include short spine, tower, semi circle, and anything that allows her to go into extension (think pulling straps and swan). Lindsay provides her clients with creative sessions with a focus on technique and flow of movement, and that has them leaving longer, leaner and lighter. Want to try a session with Lindsay? You can find her out our Broadway studio! https://www.movementcollective.com.au/proj/lindsay-cumming/

09.01.2022 MEET KAREN Pymble instructor Karen loves Pilates as much as you do! So what got her started?

02.01.2022 To our beautiful Movement Collective tribe, Due to the current outbreak we have made the decision to close all our studios effective immediately. The health and safety of our wonderful clients and staff is our biggest priority always. Unfortunately with the greater Sydney area threatened by lockdown we feel it’s best for the community to shut our doors a little earlier than planned to ensure we can do our bit to help stop the spread. At this stage we intend to reopen 4th Ja...n 2021. With restrictions tightening up and our studios back up and running with multiple classes, it made sense to just close temporarily to ensure we are doing our bit to get through this health crisis. Thank you for your continued support throughout the years with this one in particular- our studios wouldn’t be what they are without each and every one of you. Stay safe, stay healthy and most importantly stay happy. Lots of hundreds, AMJ, Lauren, Erin, Sally and your wellness team at Movement Collective Pilates.

01.01.2022 H I P H I P H O O R A Y Happy birthday to Principal Instructor and teacher trainer superstar Lauren! We hope you have a fabulous day and that your girls spoil you!
