24.01.2022 I hope this is a good timing to announce that I will run ‘Pre-natal Pilates Class’ starting term one 2021. Spot is limited (3 spots left) and will run weekly every 9AM Saturday.... I will reply very slowly during this holiday season (big possibility due to my little one taking over my phone for Bluey). Also for the Short Term January (9 - 27Jan 2021) currently I only have Wednesday 9AM spot available. PM me for detail and please share this news too if you know someone who might interested doing Pilates in a small studio set up. #pretanalpilates #smallgrouppilates #middletongrange #healthypregrangy #lowimpactexercise #justthebestforyou #qualitytime

21.01.2022 This quote is so true. Let me share with you a bit from me. My turning point, wasn’t when I was the no.1 gymnast in my birth country, but when I had my hip dislocated. The injury was so bad that I had to take pain killer every single day for 3 months while I was going to compete in the big competition. And also Kinesio-taping from my physiotherapist to help me continue my daily routine practice 10 hours a day, which due to that my skin irritated so bad, but I can’t quit just ...yet. I can’t walk for a week while I was overseas, 3 weeks before the competition! But I managed, I won! And right after that my recovery journey began. Since I quit the pain killer, I was in agony, the pain was up to the roof! My hip clicked (and still now but waaaayyy better) and thanks to Pilates and all other training that I took, I understand about bodies better. I wouldn’t be here without my injury and my determination to done rehabilitation. Thanks to my injury, I know Pilates that’s been part of my life for almost 13 years now. What’s your story?

18.01.2022 As a former dancer or ballerina or gymnast, our back usually much stronger than our core (me) So I don’t mind all the back exercises since I learn pilates. But working on Arc Barrel, or Bosu really change the game and intensify the coordination and balance. I’m very excited to introduce this to my group class. They did really well too.... #swimming #pilatesswimming #arcbarrel #balance #matpilates #smallpilatesstudio #pilatesforeverybody #strongcore #bekindtoyourback #supportsmallbusiness

16.01.2022 Pilates quotes for the week Just in case you think why pilates is so hard. Which actually not. When we learn something new our brilliant brain just need some time to digest and understand the concept. ... Exactly like learning math, music or riding bike. Everything is not easy when we started but eventually it just clicked and we master it. Give it a try. #pilates #pilatesistheanswer #mindbodyspirit #middletongrangepilates #pilatesquotes

13.01.2022 Abs This straight back on short box looks so easy and if you ever done it, you’ll know this exercise is no joke. And look how far she goes without losing her control and still in neutral!! I know right, I thought it’s impossible too.... Amazing works @mi55gumb00t and as we still have some more weeks to go before the competition, I’m more and more exciting of how strong women can be! #pilates #pilatesisforeverybody #pilatesforathletes #hingeback #straightbackhinge #amazinglydone #smallpilatesstudio #trainlikewomen #trainlikeagirl #pilatesismyhappyhour

12.01.2022 ‘Scoliosis’ Scoliosis is from Greek word Skol means twist and turns... There’s two curve pattern that named based on location and direction of convexity, C curve and S curve. Most people will have slight curves on the spine but will called Scoliosis if it’s greater than 10 degree. And mostly people won’t aware that they have one unless you feel pain. Pilates program helps with scoliosis if it’s under 40 degree, our goals is to support skeleton with core muscles and optimal function of the body. Develop tonic control and support of spine, pelvis and scapula if possible, correct curvature with development of muscular system. I highly recommend doing private session for scoliosis. Try pilates now, dm me for detail and check my timetable on bio. #pilates #sidebent #privatepilatessession #smallpilatesstudio #pilatesisforeverybody #pilatesitsallincontrol #inhaleexhale #correctyourposture #pilatesforscoliosis #scoliosis #pilatesprogram #middletongrange #middletongrangepilates #pilatescornerbynatalia #qualityoverquantity #qualitytimeforyourself

11.01.2022 This is my favourite rest position. Bit tricky because it’s looks like child pose on Yoga but we have different focus.... Usually, after we done back exercises, we’ll move the class to do Shell Stretch. The key points is: try to sit on your heels your head doesn’t have to touch the mat Make a C-Curve shape with your spine try to relax your shoulders. Now as you have the position right, try to do 3 deep Pilates breath. inhale thru your nose, try to focus on emphasise the expansion of you back (rib cage) deep exhale thru your purse lips, like you blow a balloon with a straw, long and deep exhale. I usually put my palm behind my clients lower back so I can feel the Multifidus muscle activated as you breath out, engaging the pelvic floor and Transversus Abdominus. That’s how I found out you breath correctly. This tactile cue, not many instructors knows and it took time to be sensitive to feel muscle activation. Yes, even when we stretch and have a little break, we still want you to work on some muscles. That’s just a Pilates way of stretching. This movement is a reward for our body. #pilatesmatclass #shellstretch #rewardyourself #dopilatesforgoodposture #secretofbeautifulposture #qualityofmovement #qualityoverquantity #smallgroupmatpilates #pilatescornerbynatalia #pilatesismyhappyhour #middletongrange #liverpoolsmallbusinesses

10.01.2022 Happy Diwali to all friends and clients who celebrates it Have a sweet celebration #diwali2020 #celebrationoflight #frommetoyou

10.01.2022 The last day of 2020, my turning point year! January: I open Pilates Corner for the first time on Middleton Grange. I only think I’ll have 5 client maximum and 2 mat class per week. February: slowly but I started to have more clients and busier on my mat class.... March: I got more clients but Covid-19 hits and I have to shut the door following government regulation and lockdown for 12 weeks. April: I did online class via Zoom. IT things isn’t my favourite but once again I pushed to learn new thing. May & June: I did some course via Zoom with my teacher trainer from Indonesia @lilytouw and learnt more about LINKd program for pain release. Was magical for me as I suffered from SIJ since lockdown. July: back to face to face and I have more clients. Full time on Pilates Corner. Mat class is full and put another 2 on the schedule to follow the demand. August: got nominated for Liverpool Small Business award. Sep - Dec: I have about 8 private clients, 4 duets and 7 mat classes. And work around 20hrs a week. And received my dream machine the V2Max Plus from Merrithew. I’m impressed about how far Pilates Corner has become in a year. It’s way more than I expect it. I wouldn’t say it’s an easy journey, but it’s been fantastic year for me. It teaches me hard about we can’t predict anything, don’t plan too far a head, and be flexible on your option! Thank you and I’ll always remember you 2020! , , . ~ #farewell2020 #reflexiontime #smallpilatesstudio #privatepilatessession #stottpilatesinstructor #certifiedpilatesteacher #survived2020 #my2020story #pilatescornerbynatalia #middletongrange #liverpoolsmallbusiness #qualityoverquantity #2020doneanddusted #surpriseme2021

07.01.2022 Leaping to weekend mood on One point for jump-board as we can use it for push up jumping! Okay, but seriously, what athlete will be appreciate this kind a push up? Swimmer? Basket baller? Tennis player?... It’s look simple but it works on your core and stability, triceps and lats and gluts. And everything has to be dynamic and in just right amount of power. There is so many sports will appreciate this upper body challenge and yet fun (if your wrist agree). Thumbs up for @just_mii55e who still did her best doing this exercise after long exhausting day at work. Let’s do it again soon . Do you want to try this too? Let me know.

07.01.2022 I stepped out of my comfort zone, and glad I did it. I had a big family, a maid to look after my kid, a driver to drove me to work, a house that always clean and I never touch kitchen as the food always served as I want. I had a great job, good money, and from sport field, people knows me as I was the number 1 in my team, represent my birth country.... But crazy enough I left all of it to support my husband dream to live in Australia. Glad I have my Stott Pilates Certificate which is International recognised certification that I can bring and continue working as pilates instructor here (fun fact, that’s how I learn my english and I truly appreciate if people tell me my typo) The struggle is real!! But I don’t think I’ll ever go back. I love it here #aboutme #littlebitsof_life #stepoutofyourcomfortzone #beresilient #makeyourselfproud #pilatesinstructor #exgymnast #icanbemore

07.01.2022 Thanks Joe for reminding me... But deep down I wish I can have my fitness goals just by a wishful thinking! Like completing a ninja warrior course. Who’s with me? ... (In reality, I pushed my toddler on her bike like 1/2 block and I’m out of breath ) #pilatesquotes #josephpilatesquotes #physicalfitness #wishfulthinking #realitycheck #brutallyhonest #investonyourself #investonyourhealth #healthybodyhealthymind #happymindhappylife #bepositive #startsmallgobig #smallsteps #smallstepstobigchange #forthefuture #pilatescornerbynatalia #liverpoolsmallbusiness

06.01.2022 Can we all do that? Stop checking the scale 3 times a day and start balance diet, put more fruits, veggies and drink more water. As your mind is the most powerful, start with it and the magic will begin.... I appreciate healthy and pain-free life more than anything. And there will be more valuable than money. #sharepositivity #positivevibes #positivequotes #quotesfortoday #welcomingweekend #bekind #bekindtoyourself #focusonhealth #pilatesisbalance #treatpeoplewithkindness #thankfulforeverything #eathealthy #rebalanceyourbody #qualityoverquantity

06.01.2022 Why we love grip socks for pilates? 1. The sticky bits is the saviour! Specially if we doing standing workout on reformer or chair that needs extra grip. The socks got you! 2. Hygiene reason. I love to give tactile cue and giving corrections for the feet. So by wearing a fresh clean socks, will help me while helping you. 3. They are pretty! Don’t you agree? The hardest part is to choose the colour and style. ... Bonus point for @movementsox as they are not that thick so can you still can feel your feet and perfect for warmer weather (the feet need to breath too). Even great socks to wear at home too. At the moment I’m giving 1 pilates grip socks(value $17) for free! for every pilates package purchase, include Mat class if pay full term for term 4. Secure your spot and your socks ASAP! #pilatescorner #pilatescornerbynatalia #smallpilatesstudio #pilatesismyhappyhour #welovegripsocks #localbusiness #supportsmallbusiness

06.01.2022 Who want those abs???

05.01.2022 I keep my mat classes to just 4 people per class. WHY? Because it's much more beneficial for my clients. When you come to my mat class, you can be assured that I will spend time to assess that you're using the right muscles for the movements. This is so important when doing pilates to maximise the effectiveness of the movements and to avoid injury. In a larger class, this would not be possible to do.... Want more? Ask me about my one-to-one private sessions which are tailored to your individual needs. MAT CLASS SPECIAL OFFER: Book for the whole term and you'll get a free pair of @movementsox Grip Socks. #supportlocalbusiness #smallpilatesstudio #smallgroupmatpilates #pilatesisgoodforyou #middletongrangepilates #domoreforless #qualityinpilates

04.01.2022 The Pilates Corner final fit-out (for now at least) is almost finished, with the newest addition of a Merrithew machine arriving hopefully this week. It's currently waiting for delivery from the Casula depot. With the new machine, I'm so happy to be able to introduce an exciting change to Pilates Corner. Starting from Term 3 (12 July 2021), I will be replacing my Mat Pilates Classes with a Semi-Private Group sessions.... What is a Semi-Private Group session? It is a session with a maximum of 4 people using pilates equipments where everyone will have their own program based on their assessment and personal goals. If you're already a current Mat Class client, you will be given priority to join the Semi-Private Group sessions. You won't be required to do an initial assessment prior to joining the Semi-Private Group sessions, but let me know if you would like one. For new clients, you will be required to do an initial assessment prior to joining the Semi-Private Group sessions. Don't worry if you miss out on joining the Semi-Private Group sessions, depending on the level of interest, I may open more sessions in the future. Message me to register your interest. Private and Duet sessions are also still available, and Pre-Natal class will run as usual with a round-robin set up. Please note: - Term 3 will start on Monday, 12 July 2021 and follows the NSW school calendar - 24 hrs cancellation policy applies, and you can have a maximum of 1 make-up class/term. - I will start taking deposits for Term 3 for my current clients between now and end of next week. I will update if I have any spots left available after that. If you are looking for a quality exercise that’s kind to your spine, works your core, and makes you feel good, Pilates is the answer.

02.01.2022 Do you have any weakness? Let me share bit about me. Long a go, I was a gymnast. I can proudly say I’m the best of my team after 17 years of doing it. But there’s a story before my carrier kicks off.... My coach said to me that I was - too fat to be a gymnast - don’t have a talent - better quit because it’s such a waste of time - will never successful in future without gymnastics For a 14 years old me, it’s a lot to take in! Been doing gymnastic since 4 years old to be told such a heartless world from my head coach (at national team) it’s hit me it the guts! I cried, but I kick my self harder right after! I never see my self fat, I’m bit muscly compare of my teammates, so I practice harder and since I have more energy to stay focus on my training compare to teammates, I perform better. I’m not super flexible, so they said I don’t have talent! But I practice twice harder and focus on important things likbalance and power. Don’t give up on yourself! Your weakness is also your strength, your greatest strength with the correct mindset so be-careful of how you talk to your self. We all are human, and it’s normal to have a weakness. And how about now with Pilates? I see people who comes to me acknowledge their weakness and they want to be better. Maybe injury, maybe poor posture, maybe diastasis recti, and that’s a good start! Acknowledge your weakness, with the right mindset and understanding you’ll be stronger than you ever be! And that’s the strength. People can have their meanest thought about you, but don’t let you do that to yourself. Oh and my other weakness is clumsy! I still trying to overcome this, like what happened last Saturday. I posted a story in such a hurry, this time it’s not a typo (like I usually had), I forgot to mute my video and there’s a background of my hubby screaming his lung out to our kids to hurry them off for gymnastic session! He checked the next morning and you can tell he’s not very happy. I hope everyone watched my story on mute mode #positivequotes #yourweaknessisyourstrength #bekindtoyourself #mondaymotivation #behumanbekind

01.01.2022 Love is in the air We’re so lucky in Sydney to have a great weather and easier restriction, and I hope all you had a great one. Just like when you love someone and you care them inside out, I hope you do the same to yourself.... Not just outlook, not only the big muscles, but also to your small or minor muscles too as they also need TLC. And to tell you little secret, when you train your small muscles, they will give big support to your big muscles! Thanks me later. For example, your core. No one can see your core, how strong or weak they are. But this non superficial muscles, is your deep deep stabiliser for your big muscles to works better, effortless but maximum result. Have you give your small muscles some TLC?? NB: TLC means Tender Loving Care. I hope no one get confused with the band, like me. And yes I’m old enough to know that band, not only BTS. #pilatesistheanswer #smallmusclesbiglove #smallmusclesmatter #pilatesquotes #bekindtoyourself #bekindtoyourmuscles #tenderlovingcare #qualityoverquantity #balanceisthekey #pilatescornerbynatalia #pilatesandbeyond #mondayvibes #ilovemondays
