25.01.2022 WE HAVE A WINNER. Thank you to everyone who entered our Reformer Term give away, celebrating 12 months in our gorgeous Studio. Congratulations to Rozzie for a wonderful entry; telling us her understanding of Pilates and its benefits as well as the benefits shes looking for experiencing through regular Pilates practice. The inclusion of mental health and well-being was the cherry on top for us. Pilates requires concentration and mind body connection with attention to breathing as we work through movement sequences.

25.01.2022 So many reasons to fall in love with Contrology aka Pilates. Complete control of body and mind.

24.01.2022 I love all things breath. Perhaps because I have lived with panic disorder since I was a child. I am absolutely fascinated with how our breathing has a flow on effect to even our standing posture. It has lead me to complete pelvic health training with Centre for Women’s Fitness along with chronic pain management and seek out Pilates elder training workshops centered around their interpretations of breath.

24.01.2022 Thank you to everyone for your understanding with our Covid-19 Policy. . WHAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO:... Respect social distance within the Studio. Be mindful of how close you may be to another person. Sanitise hands before and after lessons. Quick in. Please do not gather in the entry. Temperature taken, shoes off, sanitise and down to the Studio level floor. Be patient with the person in front of you. Quick exit. Wait until I open the door. Shoes on, sanitise and exit so as there is sufficient time for me to leave the doors open for fresh air, wipe down and disinfect equipment and floors. TIPS: Have your Pilates socks already on in your shoes. Maybe wear shoes that are not laced and are easy to remove. Keep your Pilates collection of stuff within your car in 1 bag. Aim to be there 5 mins before class. PLEASE if you are unable to attend advise the Studio no less than 2 hours before your class. This helps ME with contact tracing and noting who is and is not in class as well as reducing holding class times up. . Remember if you fall within our Sydney Covid-19 policy update, you have 2 lessons per term you can reschedule. We have a couple of spare Reformer places at the moment, so you will be offered a day and time within one of these for your make sessions. . All Floor classes can be made up using the Virtual Studio. Videos will be updated in time, as you can appreciate this is a very emotionally, mentally and physically draining time to own and operate a small business. Keep up to date with current NSW hotspots. We all knew this term was not going to be easy sailing. We can only do what we can do. Thank you everyone for you help and patience.

13.01.2022 Pretty simple heading. But hopefully a good read. 'ITS OK TO NOT BE OK'. I learned a long time ago to stop adding to my stress and angst by feeling guilty or apologising when I have an attack that disrupts MY life......

13.01.2022 Back to the Studio tomorrow. I would be lying if I said that after 3 MONTHS of being out of my Studio and away from that all important face to face relationship with my clients whom I call my friends, I wasnt feeling a whole range of stuff, including a lot of nerves, at the thought of reopening. Its like holding your breath. For an introvert it is very easy to become used to a routine thats a little safe, in the home. Im excited to connect with my people again. Talk to them, laugh with them (boss them around lololol) work on stuff together. But acknowledging the human aspect that is anxiety atm is pretty important too. Xx

13.01.2022 CONGRATULATIONS TO BATHURST BEATERS on raising $55,800.00 for Cancer Research in to Women's Specific Cancer's. Bathurst on a Plate. What an amazing book.

12.01.2022 Getting ready for this evenings relaxing, stretching, breathing and unwinding the day with the magical Oov. Love.

11.01.2022 Arabesque makes you feel like a Ballerina. That dent in my top leg, courtesy of one hell of a horse kick over 10 years ago.

10.01.2022 The lovely Scotts Centre in George Street. Before it was even built and then again in 1984 nearing completion. I remember when this centre was being constructed and the amazing little shops within it. The coffee shop, Mrs Browns, holds many memories and is connected to one in particular memory of my brother, on an afternoon of 1 September 1994. Now Pilates 44 Studio is situated within these walls, partially within what was Mrs Browns. Whod have thought. Weve been there for nearly 12 months already. A beautiful little piece of Bathurst history. #doorsopenbathurst #bathurst #bathurstbusiness

09.01.2022 Brainstorming, Workshopping, Collaborating. We are always working hard behind the scenes. Your Pilates 44 teachers regularly communicate and work on solutions to bring you our best. Whether it be through taking PAA/APMA CEC workshops & investing in further education within our field or a few hours of teaching one another in the Studio.

09.01.2022 Theres a lot of muscle action that happens in respiration. This is a great way to tap in to your transverse abdominals and your pelvic floor. It takes practice, concentration & control. But such a nice way to ease back in to abdominal work before and after birth or post abdominal surgery. (*with exercise clearance)... . Fyi when my abdominal wall is moving forward I am INHALING. When I draw my abdominal wall up I do so on the EXHALE, BUT IT IS right at the end of the exhale. #pilatesstudio #pilates #womenshealth #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvicfloorhealth #breathingexercises #breathing #prenatalfitness #postnatalfitness

07.01.2022 Ready to go 2021

07.01.2022 Have you moved your spine today.

07.01.2022 A LITTLE LOOK BACK TO HOW WE GOT HERE AS WE MOVE INTO OUR 4th YEAR. "GREAT THINGS NEVER CAME FROM COMFORT ZONES." As much as I cringe when clients and friends tell me this, Pilates 44 Studio really DID pioneer Pilates in Bathurst. And we continue to do so proudly. ... Did you know we were the 1st Pilates Studio to bring Reformer classes to Bathurst? And we are also (to date) the only Fully Equipped Pilates Studio in Bathurst. Pilates 44 has been cultivated, cared for and grown from a true passion for the Pilates method. I sigh as I remember the tears that were shed when I was so broke that affording the little $18 rental hour for the CWA hall seemed impossible. How would I make this work. I guess when people see your drive and passion for something you love they want to be a part of it's growth We made our own equipment (and still use those rollers nearly 4 years later. We bought other equipment from Target because it was affordable and I didn't want clients to have to cart their own equipment. Mats were painful to uncurl lol and the magic circle's are still in use today alongside their more contemporary counterparts. I can't even fathom how many therabands we've gone through, but I still like the 3 pack from Big W. Facebook was my website because it was free and printed information was created using a very primitive 2007 version of publisher. In time I learned how to develop my own website www.pilates44.com We worked out of 4 different rented spaces, loading unloading the Supra (if you know my car you know storage space can be limited lol) so even the front seat held Oovs, balls circles and mats. I remember the moment I was able to purchase our blue Pilates balls......12 of them. Ah so excited. Looking at Reformers was a daydream. They seemed so far out of reach. I was grateful and happy as shit when I brought my little second hand aero Pilates reformer. Lol no springs, just 4 bungee cords and a carriage that was noisy and rough as guts, but it was all mine. Now we have our beautiful bespoke Studio in George Street Bathurst and it is full of beautiful classical equipment; Reformers, Trapeze Table, Ladder Barrel, Wunda Chairs, Spine Correctors, Ped O Pull..... and out little pieces of home made equipment to keep it all real Our Studio has clients that have been with me the whole journey offering support and encouragement. Our Pilates community has become more than just people I teach my passion for the Pilates method too. I ALWAYS stop at my Studio door before I close for the day, smile from the heart as I look around the workspace that we're all so lucky to share and say thank you.

07.01.2022 Love teaching Kneeling Cat. On the chair (here) on the Trapeze Table on the Reformer on the mat. There are so many functional movements that teach us about stability and balance while strengthening those deep support systems. This is but 1. Also a challenge for the vestibular system when taken to the chair as we move the body into an inversion. The beautiful part about all of the classic Pilates apparatus is, if we know a certain movement that can really benefit a body but cannot be achieved for example here on the chair because of the inversion, then we can take it to the other Studio equipment. This is the beauty of Pilates.

06.01.2022 Coming home. Cannot wait until next week. We may only be back for 2 weeks to finish out of reformer term, and then ready to go with our new Floor and Small Apparatus class, Reformer and Private lessons from 20 July. I have taken the last 3 months to evaluate and change our schedule to ensure my self care needs are met so I can bring the best I have 110% to each lesson. Change is good. Xx

04.01.2022 E X C I T I N G new classes on the way for Term 3. . What was our mat class has now morphed in to a Semi Private Floor & Small Apparatus class. With just 4 clients in each, we will be incorporating Studio equipment such as Spine Corrector and the Wunda Chair (*photo). . The Studio has 3 more of these Australian hand made beautiful chairs on their way from Pilates Eqip Sydney.... . Not just a mat class. If you are looking for something different each week using classical Pilates equipment to give your body and mind tactile feedback contact us. There are just 2 places left both on Wednesday. 9am or 5.30pm. See more

04.01.2022 "At its root, perfectionism isn’t really about a deep love of being meticulous. It’s about fear. Fear of making a mistake. Fear of disappointing others. Fear of failure. Fear of success." . Michael Law . I recently heard this while catching up on the recordings of the sessions from #brink2020. I was so moved and inspired by the session "Pushing the Top Off the Box of Perfection" with Tasha Edwards. She recited the above quote and it really resonated. Perfect is a word not a r...eality, but it certainly can hold you back and can be tough to move past. . #pilates #perfectnotperfect See more

WHAT IS PILATES - Contrology (now known as Pilates) was developed by Joseph Pilates as a means to balance and structurally align the musculature arrangement of the body as well as the neurological pathways of the brain. All of which can aid us in moving during everyday tasks with ease and enjoy our day to day activities. Breath techniques are also an important factor within Pilates practice. For everybody, Pilates is an amazing modality to maintain fitness and strength as well as creating greater body awareness. .

01.01.2022 MAGIC CIRCLE - Penny showing how to TEASER with a Magic Circle. One of her regular props in mat sessions. Regular use of the Magic Circle can improve body awareness, increase resistance, and add challenge by creating instability. History notes that Joseph Pilates created the first Magic Circle from the metal rings from wooden beer barrels. It was also used by Jo when working with Eve Gentry (Pilates elder) to rehabilitate her body from an aggressive double mastectomy.

01.01.2022 Down Stretch is very typical Pilates "It looks like not much is going on", but your whole body is working hard to maintain that extension in the hips, movement through the backs of the legs, glutes and hamstrings, feet, shoulder stability, upper body strength and thoracic extension. Its feels absolutely empowering and amazing.
