25.01.2022 ‘Personally for me’ .... A huge year of learning, eye-rolling, growth, internal and external tantrums, pivoting, cleaning and light pockets of relief surrounded by deep confusion and grief. Like an alley cat, I am covered in scrapes and bruises but TMR, the academy and I have made it to the finish line. It’s time for a rest. Back on deck from 18/1. 2020, go to bed.

25.01.2022 Ask not what your spring can do for you, but what you can do for your spring!

20.01.2022 HELP US, PLEASE! Victorian Pilates studio owners and instructors are doing it tough. We dont meet the criteria for the Emergency business support fund and are doing our best to operate in these tough conditions. We are a vital element of the health and wellbeing of many Victorians but are consistently left out in the cold by local and State support mechanisms. I have been writing to anyone who will listen to help get some eyes on this because all we want to do is work sa...fely with our clients - the way we have always done - and support them to better health. As businesses start to reopen we note that personal care and other industries will be permitted to operate, yet we cant, even in a 1:1 setting - help us do this! We have been closed since the third week of March. The proposed reopening date of late November may bankrupt many small local businesses and send talented instructors interstate in search of employment. Can you help us work in a safe 1:1 or 1:4 environment and meet our commercial obligations? Please write to your MP and local councillors to help us, help you. We need you! Nicholas Psarros on behalf of The Pilates Teacher Network

19.01.2022 A lovely reminder of what’s been brewing during a year of hardship! I’ve had this hydrangea for close to eight years and each year it gets fuller, hardier and always surprises me.

18.01.2022 Hello Friends! Make sure you book in your group classes ASAP. Moving forward we will need to meet class minimums to keep your preferred class and instructor on the schedule. Thank you,... Nicholas See more

18.01.2022 Rest well, it’s been a big one and we have been tested.

18.01.2022 Friday ..... open that flank and get ready for the weekend! @benjamindegenhardt - 2019 workshops

17.01.2022 C H I L L D A Y Whatever your Sunday looks like and wherever it is located, I hope you get a slice of bliss like I did a few years back with @amyuniversal sipping a Negroni in London Summer.

17.01.2022 VIRTUAL TEACHERS CLASS?? October ... weekly afternoon teachers class... perhaps? Reformer or Caddy / Tower? ... Shoot me a message and lets sort it out!

17.01.2022 Pilates Teacher Playground Live - on zoom - sessions each Tuesday in October from 2pm - 3pm. Each week will have a different theme / apparatus as we come together in a no fuss type of way to experiment, exercise and practice. You don't need to be an advanced mover so the pressure is off.. but you'll need your cam and video feed live so I can work with you and provide instruction and feedback. I go for detail and love to play with willing, warm bodies! ... Programme 6 October Classical Reformer 13 October Barrels and Mat (spine corrector or baby arc) 20 October Feet first (toe corrector, foot corrector and Wunda) 27 October Tower / Cadillac Info * $25 per session or $80 for the series of four. * No, these don't qualify for PDPs. * Yes, these will be recorded (access available for 6 days after the event) but if you live in Australia, I hope you can make it live so we can work together. * No, you don't need to have every piece of apparatus but you'll likely be able to jerry rig something within your tool kit to play! * Yes, they will be fun and yes.. you'll peel back the layers of the true work beyond the dogma. Note Bookings close for the series tickets on Monday 5 October 9am. Individual sessions can be purchased up to one hour prior to the start time. Book now available on our bookings essential site See more

15.01.2022 C A L L T O A C T I O N clients, teachers, studio owners! We love what we do and want to step away from zoom when the time is right to help our client communities through a tough year and start training safely in person as soon as possible. This will help rebuild the economy and restore mental and physical health for all involved.... Melbourne studios have been closed for close to six months and most teachers are engaged as contractors. This makes most businesses ineligible for financial support or business emergency relief yet our tenancies sit empty, racking up the usual expenses. Weve had your back for years and we hope to for years to come. WE NEED YOU NOW! we believe that every health and fitness facility is important. However we are often lumped in with gyms big and small when we generally work with less than ten people in a class and often fewer than five, which makes for an easily controlled Covid safe environment. We believe that we should be able to work in a 1:1 or 1:2 capacity as soon as possible due to the low-risk nature of our work and the vital, positive effect on wellbeing for all involved. Many of our clients are generally healthy but are now suffering aches and pains which will start to clog up primary and allied health providers and result in reduced productivity. Suitably qualified instructors are engaged by clients to manage chronic health complaints and injury rehabilitation. we are grateful for the work of the many people and organisations keeping our cities safe and look forward to rebuilding together. We are a peaceful bunch who play by the rules and want to pitch in. Please help us get the word out by sharing with your community. More to come!

14.01.2022 WFH? Even if you dont have a Reformer handy, you can still get some smooth back extension and work your full frame into suppleness. Seated or standing ... Lift up through the head and chest and move your spine! Add some sexy arm circles and open through your shoulder and chest for best results.

11.01.2022 B R E A T H E A beautiful moment at Princes Park the other day. Wasnt Saturday a surprising day? Turns out that the best is yet to come x

11.01.2022 Saw this on @glennondoyle ... its something that I think a lot about. Is self-care as we know it just what we used to call maintenance? Or is it just working out how to function...? Where to draw energy from and who to say no to? Is it shallow? Is it essential? I am slowly learning which battles to invest in and how curating social media keeps my blood pressure stable. thanks for the reminder @glennondoyle

10.01.2022 We hope you enjoyed some sleep ins and a break from Zoom. The week off was a great circuit breaker and we look forward to exercising together virtually, soon. dont forget to book in to keep your class on the schedule

09.01.2022 T H O U G H T S ? Current clients, are you interested in outdoor Pilates in the park if I can make it a possibility? Either private, duo or eventually group mat outdoors... Private and duo sessions could play on a wundachair and barrel... If this appeals let me know and Ill look into the nitty gritty!

09.01.2022 G I G G L E T I M E Its time for our last few classes before the studio has a little rest. We know you love your regular classes and we are proud of what you have achieved during the great virtual pivot of 2020! Standard Saturday classes today ... 8am Fruit Salad 9am Wunda 10am duo Sunday Karins workshop for our client community at 9:30! Then .... REST. Put up your trotters. Move as you wish and take a break from zoom. see you very soon Nic and Co. See more

08.01.2022 P R I N C E P U P D A T E Dexy is recovering well from his surgery yesterday.

Dexy is a big part of the fabric of TMR and misses you all x

03.01.2022 Nearly six months ago, our suburb went into early lockdown ahead of Melbourne. It was intense, it was frightening in 3031 but the sun is out and months later here we are. there hasn’t been a lot of pilates on the feed in recent months, I felt that the last thing we in Melbourne needed was clarification on how to better execute a movement. next year things may change but until then I’m enjoying the sunshine and park. happy Wednesday lovers

02.01.2022 G O D E E P A N D D E E P E R A N D . . . A little snippet of TMR teacher @karinkrouse during our inaugural Virtual Pilates Summit. We all have quirks in our bodies and continue to use the method to understand how to move forward in our own skin. Pilates has never been (to me) body beautiful, it has been part of my life since I was 18 and a companion to helping me understand my structure, pain and performance. More than anything, it prepares me to age with comfort and a ...bit of pizazz. Nope, not another post about how great Pilates is or how we are loving zoom... just a reminder that even a humble push through sitting can be transformative when you listen to the subtleties and use them as a springboard for a greater practice! Classes are as normal this week and Karin is running a workshop for our current clients on Sunday too. next week all teachers are taking a break and we close the studio just to be humans in Melbourne. Heres to the many layers of delicious movement x See more
