25.01.2022 As much as I love my mat and foam roller, today called for some jumping on the reformer to give my heart and lungs a little workout. No matter what your chosen exercise during this ISO lockdown, make sure you are taking nice deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth. Because after all, your breathing muscles are essentially your core. So if you’re after a stronger core, don’t forget to breathe deeply and align your body properly. Haven’t a clue what I’m on about? Think Lu’s lost the plot? Send us a DM and book in for a session with either myself, Chris or Kellie to discover how the simple act of breathing properly in good alignment can strengthen your core, improve your posture and help you move better

25.01.2022 We have a big announcement ....drum roll please........@kellie_pilates is back!!!! Happy Monday Everyone! The silver lining of this lockdown has definitely been the quality time I’ve had to spend at home with my husband and kids. While it’s tricky at times - such as moving on my own (thing of the past ), homeschooling (super impressed with what my five year old can do but wow, his school teacher deserves a pay rise to about 1million per year) - life in our house wil...l never be the same again as we continue to take the time to appreciate the small things - the things that don’t cost anything but are the most precious in the world And while I didn’t think my return from maternity leave would be quite so different, I’m super grateful to be able to teach group classes in a virtual capacity as of this week on fridays at 12:15pm AEST!

24.01.2022 We hope all the mums out there had a lovely Mother’s Day yesterday. We also recognise this day can be tough for many of us for different reasons and so our thoughts are with you . Here we have super mum and studio founder @kellie_pilates and baby Audrey getting creative with their mum and bub workout over the weekend *Pilates*Dance*Barre workout by the Barwon* What a fantastic substitute the pram makes as a ballet/fitness barre Happy Weekend everyone! Ps. This workout has been sped up .

20.01.2022 Thought I’d give all our hammys a break before posting part 2 of the bridging ball series. This was tough. My left hammy struggled. My camera lens was greasy . Apologies&good luck.

17.01.2022 We’ve well and truly rolled over into Winter Which means now is a better time than ever to get your Pilates on from the heated comfort of your own home. Exercising outside is for shmucks (or at least for people braver than this little Queenslander ) So stay cosy and keep moving well ...with us

17.01.2022 I get by with a little help from my fr....tower bar. Anyone else missing this assistance for your Teasers? We feel you. The countdown is on for the return to the studio. Not long now we hope

17.01.2022 Just a little hump day hip opener for all those tight hips, doing it tough, cramped into their wfh desk all day. We gotchu guys

15.01.2022 And now for part 2 of your pelvic stability/core control series. In this one I’ve added in a chest lift to bring your rectus abdominis into the game. Again, ensure you’re maintaining neutral pelvis throughout and keep an eye out for the rectus bulge I’m demonstrating in the next video. Try 8 of each and ensure good lower leg alignment as well in this one. The minute that knee opens out to the side, it’s all over. So keep your knee in line with your hip socket, your tail bone anchored down and your chin drawing down towards your throat to engage those deep neck flexors. Make sure you have a soft surface to land on just in case and......Good luck!

14.01.2022 Another ghostly, greasy lens video but at least Brownie makes an appearance in this one. Which makes up for the poor quality...right? If you’re looking to spice up your push ups (said no one ever) why not give them a go on your gym ball? And throw in leg pull front while you’re at it...just for fun. Keep your scapulas snug on your rib cage throughout by keeping back of the head and ribs drawing back. Think of a diagonal line from the back of your head to your tailbone. Bre...athe continuously in through the nose and out through the mouth. If you’re struggling to get back up from the base of your push up try playing around with your breath. Try coming up on an exhale and if that fails give it a go on an inhale. There’s no set rule when it comes to breathing and no 2 bodies are the same. So as long you’re not holding your breath, do what works best for your body :) See more

07.01.2022 Want to spice up your bridges? Why not give them a whirl on your gym ball instead! Throw in a little instability from the ball and your bridges just went from meh to ‘my hamstrings and glutes are still feeling this 2 days later why did I do this to myself?!’ Having your feet resting on something higher than the floor also adds in more range of movement for increased spine mobility. But if it’s too challenging with the ball you can always rest your feet on your bed, couc...h or chair (anything that’s not going to slide out from under you basically). Remember to breathe continuously and as you roll up remember your mantra: tail bone to pubic bone, pubic bone to belly button. Roll up until you’re resting just between your shoulder blades (no higher) and remember it’s your hip extensors (glutes and hammys) that should be doing the bulk of the lifting of your pelvis NOT your back extensors. A great exercise for those tight hip flexors after a day of sitting

04.01.2022 We love a standing roll down to start or finish a Pilates class but if you’re looking for more of a challenge why not try this (headless) single leg variation instead? You get the spine mobility and back body stretch the regular version provides, with the additional challenge for your balance, hamstring (back of leg) and glute strength and of course ankle stability. Try to keep the other leg tucked in by your standing leg but if you need an easier version you can extend you...r back leg out behind you to help counterbalance the weight of your body tipping forward, making life a little easier on your hamstring also. Try to keep hips square to the front and bend your standing knee as required to allow you to touch fingertips to floor. Keep the majority of your weight forward in the ball of your foot to resist shifting your pelvis back and to help keep your standing leg vertical. For an additional challenge try standing on a soft surface like your mat folded in half or even a cushion. Remove any sharp objects from around you just in case and ...good luck! See more

03.01.2022 Happy International Pilates Day errybody Let’s celebrate with this little ab series and a tipple of your choice at appropriate o’clock (whatever that is to you ) I’ll be raising a glass to the Pilates method for keeping this old body functioning over the years! Don’t know where I’d be without you Pilates my old friend. Probably hunched over a desk with crippling back, neck, hip, ankle, shoulder and knee pain from all those old, ignored dance/life injuries. Fingers crossed Lu can have some buddies (other than Brownie) to play with in our beautiful studio soon. But until then...keep on Pilates Zooming with us friends :)

03.01.2022 Here’s hoping your Easter weekend has been a delightful one. Full of chocolate gorging, wine guzzling, lounge room dancing, Zoom trivia, doggy cuddles and maybe a spot of gardening. With another public holiday tomorrow spent in ISO we’re guessing a touch of boredom may be setting in. So we thought we’d pop back onto the socials and share with you this little quadruped series for you to try. This one is great for improving shoulder strength, stability and alignment, as well a...s core, glute and hammy strength ....and of course, posture! Keep the back of your head, ribs and tailbone in line the whole time and remember to breathe continuously in through the nose, out through the mouth. Keep pushing the floor away while drawing the back of your head and ribs up towards the ceiling to avoid any nasty, winging scapulas. - Start with 8 scapula protraction/retractions. Sliding shoulder blades in towards your spine then pressing the floor away as your scapulas separate across the back of your rib cage. Imagine your scapulas are polishing your rib cage and keep your neck long the whole time so shoulders stay down away from your ears. - 8 push up preps keeping your scapulas snug against your rib cage. - 8 opposite arm and leg extensions. - 8 opening out on the diagonal, again thinking of head, rib and tailbone alignment. Give them a whirl and feel free to send through any questions you might have about any of these exercises. We’re here for you in your time of ISO need. Enjoy :)
