24.01.2022 This is what happens when you have a credit card and youre locked up in the house because of COVID! The bag I had forgotten I ordered arrived yesterday #boredom #pilatesnerd #totesforgot #readyforclass #iwonderwhatelseiordered #pilateslife #livelovepilates #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

23.01.2022 A good friend and colleague of mine - Marivani Rocha - posted the stretch shown below this week, and I thought it was far too good not to share (with her permission). Note the position of Mars hands in the 2nd and 3rd photo. Why not give it a try? It feels amazing! Thank Mars Spending a lot of time writing, typing or doing manual work? How about trying this exercise? It has helped me to decrease the tension in my forearms and stretch the inside of the arms. Try it and tel...l me what you think! Remembering to go easy at the beginning, always respecting the limit of your body. #fist #mobility #stretching #mobility #stretch #arms #wrist See more

22.01.2022 Despite what the world has thrown at us all in 2020, some good has come out of it. I am ever so grateful for the new synergistic partnership with Dance Plus Physique in Gympie. Through the tech world weve been able to partner up to offer the young dancers online Pilates classes. Thanks to Maya for posting this beautiful pic on Instagram

21.01.2022 This statement is so true! Over the years Ive heard countless times from onlookers how easy Pilates is...especially matwork. You just lie on the floor with your legs up in the air is probably my favourite quote I love that I have been able to convert most of these cynics into long term clients and Pilates lovers. Why not try it out for yourself and see how easy Pilates really is? #notaseasyasitlooks #makeitlookeffortless #work fromtheinsideout #dontforgettosmile #livelovepilates #pilateslife #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

21.01.2022 You can tell Christmas is nearly here when your clients come to class with a candy cane headband on Love your work Jo #christmasiscoming #endofyear2020 #christmasfun #candycanecentral #myclientsrock #studiolife #livelovepilates #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

21.01.2022 During his lifetime Joseph Pilates (1883 - 1967) made many observations that were far ahead of his time, such as "Civilisation impairs physical fitness." Joe died just as the world was beginning the age of true technology as we use it today, and yet this quotation fits perfectly into todays world. Modern life, and particularly life during the Coronavirus pandemic, sees us doubled forward over screens, bent over desks, craning our necks forward towards monitors, attending me...eting after meeting, constant sitting at work and also constant sitting while were relaxing. Add stress and anxiety to this and you have a lifestyle impacting greatly on our posture, physical, for some spiritual, and our emotional wellbeing. Thankfully, more than 50 years after his death, we can turn to Josephs fitness regime - then known as Contrology, now named after the creator himself - and use it to reverse our natural physical decline. Pilates offers a potent antidote to the 21st century and our sedentary, screen-fixated ways. Try it today, and with just that first lesson youll be on the road to a less impaired lifestyle

21.01.2022 I love taking Pilates photos on holidays. This one tickled my fancy..you know...bridging at the bridge It was much trickier than it looked as I couldnt fit two hands or two feet on the narrow wall. Needless to say we provided much entertainment for the other tourists

21.01.2022 Quarantine Quickie: Legs last week...arms today. Sitting down to take my shoes off after my walk gave me todays QQ idea. Have fun #triceptuesday #feeltheburn #quarantinequickie #insidetrainingtip #coronaviruslife #crosstrainwithpilates #livelovepilates #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

21.01.2022 Day 2 Scolio Pilates Training I just love learning new and emerging Pilates techniques, and can't wait to get home and start to apply them at the studio! #helen_new_pilates #scolio_pilates #livingwithcurves #exerciseforassisting #pilateshelps #elongation #firstmodule2inAustralia #selfeducation #livelovepilates #pilateslife #pilatespractitioner #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

21.01.2022 This little llama sums me up as we head into our last week of classes for 2020. Only 4 more sleeps 'til Christmas - let's give it everything we've got #christmaschestlifts #merrymermaids #peacefulpilates #joyousjumps #happyhundreds #studiolife #livelovepilates #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

20.01.2022 Wishing all my wonderful ISP clients a very merry Christmas! I hope that you are all able to share a day filled with peace, joy, love and laughter with your family, friends and loved ones. Ange

20.01.2022 I love this! It goes hand in hand with 'mind over matter' and 'move it or lose it'. Whatever your mantra is, remember you're never too old to try something new. Want to try a new Pilates exercise? If your instructor is suitably experienced and qualified, no matter what your age, they'll be able to progress through to help you to achieve your goal. Why not ask them today and see where your energy not your age can take you? #energynotage #nevertooold #moveitorloseit #mindovermatter #newgoal #somethingnew #livelovepilates #pilateslife #studiolife #pilatespractitioner #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

19.01.2022 Last week was Focus on Feet week and it was fabulous. Its amazing the awareness you can bring to your entire body just by starting at the feet. Here we use the Mobo Boards to take balance and foot control to a whole new level. My client Carolyn taught herself this one - amazing!! #mobo.board #feetfirst #awakenyoursenses #feelyourfeet #balance #livelovepilates #studiolife #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

19.01.2022 It's the Queen's Birthday Public Holiday today. BUT remember all Pilates classes and private lessons are still on as per our usual timetable If you're enjoying time away for the long weekend and won't be at Pilates today, please text me and let me know asap. Thanks Ange

19.01.2022 COVID might have shut down so much, but the Pilates community is still thriving. This weekend Ive been participating in the first ever BLITZILATES: a series of online workshops presented through the APMA by educators Jo Bezzina, Carrie Newbold and Franziska Iselli. As always Ive been able to learn new and interesting things that I will be able to apply in the studio This week is going to be feet week Cant wait to see you #APMA #blitzilates #education #neverstoplearning #fromthegroundup #feet #homework #brandmap #studiolife #lifeofapractitioner #livelovepilates

18.01.2022 Today I offer my eternal gratitude to all our diggers past and present for fighting for this most amazing country. For putting their lives down, for putting their lives at risk, to save the freedom of the country that I live in and love. May you be blessed with peace and love forever more. LEST WE FORGET

18.01.2022 This tickled my fancy so much I just had to share it. I can imagine at least half of you girls going all moulin rouge on me...in fact I might even possibly encourage it

17.01.2022 And......were back! What a fabulous day it is today with my first clients back in the studio after so many months in isolation I cant wait to see you all again face-to-face. Until then, wishing you all love and good health #ohhappyday #openforbusiness #werebackbaby #returntolife #contrology #pilateslife #studiolife #livelovepilates #pilatespractitioner #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

16.01.2022 Quarantine Quickie: Wednesday Work Your Feet I think we often take our feet and ankles for granted, and dont give them enough credit or love for all the work they do. Todays QQ gets you mobilising your ankle joints, moving your toes and also testing your brain. I wonder if your toes and ankles will do what I ask Try it and see...might not be as easy as you think! #feet #ankles #mobility #isolate # # #loveyourfeet #livelovepilates #pilatesforlife #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

16.01.2022 I love taking 'Pilates' photos on holidays. This one tickled my fancy..you know...bridging at the bridge It was much trickier than it looked as I couldn't fit two hands or two feet on the narrow wall. Needless to say we provided much entertainment for the other tourists

15.01.2022 Prone frog legs are excellent for glute and hamstring strengthening. This morning Tracy showed beautiful work as she dug deep to find hers. It takes a lot to stay relaxed through the shoulder girdle as you find that much elevation. Well done! #elevation #glutes #hamstrings #strengthening #wednesdayfrogs #prettyenoughforapicture #livelovepilates #pilateslife #studiolife #pilatespractitioner #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

15.01.2022 Monday morning glutes and smiles to boot! The girls worked hard yesterday to add strength and balance to the hips. Although it might feel like it's burning as you work, the long term aggragate benefit far outweighs the short term discomfort. #findit #activateit #stretchit #glutes #pilatesforstrength #happyhips #livelovepilates #studiolife #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

14.01.2022 Part of the joy of teaching Pilates is becoming friends with long-time clients. What a lovely time I enjoyed with some of the girls on Saturday. And, I was also totally surprised and spoiled with a gorgeous bunch of flowers Thankyou girls #grateful #blessed #lovewhatido #dowhatilove #pilatespractitioner #livelovepilates #studiolife #sometimeswesocialise #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

13.01.2022 Planking is a skill we already know from childhood...we just have to relearn it! Babies instinctively know how to hold their body weight up to begin to crawl. As we age we forget all these basic skills which can lead to poor posture and sore backs! This week lets celebrate our instincts, and get back to basics #childhoodskills #relearn #planking #holdyourbodyweight #functionalmovement #livelovepilates #pilatesmoove #pilateslife #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

12.01.2022 No Pilates from me today....just fish Yesterday we went snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, and despite being a super scaredy-cat of the ocean I suited up (stinger suits are very unflattering ) and got in. We were amazed by the beauty of what is on our doorstep. Well worth a trip North #blessed #queensland #beauty #livelovelife #friendlyfishies #notpilatesjustswimming #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

12.01.2022 Hi Everyone. I hope you all enjoyed the eased social distance restrictions yesterday and were able to spend some of the day with friends and family that you havent seen for some time. Im posting this to keep you updated with the latest COVID 19/Pilates information. It seems as if were still a few weeks off having real Pilates classes Unfortunately, despite the continuous efforts and input from both of the Australian Pilates Industry Bodies, studios are still being ...classed in the gym arena. Although, incorrect for so many, that is an argument for another time and place. The attached link is for the Queensland Governments website and in particular the Roadmap to Easing Restrictions. https://www.business.qld.gov.au//covid-19-restricti/easing As you can see, according to Government restrictions Pilates studios running group classes, (rightly or wrongly we fall under this category - gyms, health clubs and yoga studios) will not be allowed to reopen until STAGE 3 - 30 July, 2020, and of course this is dependent on the Government reviewing data regarding new COVID 19 cases along the way. There is a strong argument that private (one-on-one) Pilates sessions should be allowed to take place from STAGE 2 - 12 June, 2020 as per: beauty therapy, nail salons, tanning, tattoo parlours and spas (with register of clients and COVID Safe Checklist); however clearly Pilates does not fall under this category either, so once again we are left with an unclear answer as to whether this is allowable. Please note that I will be keeping the online classes running until such time that we reach STAGE 3, or either the PAA or APMA have received a definitive answer regarding our situation. Take care of yourselves until I can catch up with you again - stay healthy and happy. Ange

11.01.2022 ANZAC Day Public Holiday. No classes today.

11.01.2022 I found this quirky little print in an artsy shop in Montville yesterday. It made me smile so much I bought it and hung it in the studio! I hope Leonard the Llama brightens your day too #makingyousmile #notalwaysaboutpilates #quirkyquips #livelovellamas #happymonday #haveagreatweek #studiolife #leonard #innerstrengthpilateswellingtinpoint

11.01.2022 I just love the first day of Spring It makes me feel so happy and alive. Time to wash away the grey days of winter and enjoy sunshine and Spring flowers. Of course its always a good time to make a fresh start, try something new, take up something youve let slide throughout the cold winter days....you know, like Pilates #firstofseptember #spring #sunshine #happiness #flowersfrommygarden #timeforpilates #newroutines #tryingsomethingnew #livelovepilates #pilateslife #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

10.01.2022 Quarantine Quickie: Torso and Shoulder Stretch/Rotate. The QQ today leans more towards stretch than exercise as such, but is excellent for addressing postural issues created by too much sitting at the desk. Be particularly cautious if you have known shoulder injuries. If you find the broomstick makes this set too difficult as it is too rigid, start out with a theraband. That way as you take your arms up and over you can stretch the band to accommodate your shoulder movement. For the lateral stretch and rotation, hold the theraband on your back at the bra/ heart rate monitor strap line. #quarantinequickie #stretch #move #goodposture #sittingtoomuch #livelovepilates #coronaviruslife #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

10.01.2022 Weve worked on stability in the studio this week for every day health and wellness, and its been great Check this out though....stability and core training taken to a whole new level Anyone for tennis ?

10.01.2022 I truly believe that I have one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. Being a Pilates Practitioner allows me to learn new things every day, then apply that learning to my work, which in turn assists my clients: particularly those with specific needs. I couldn't be prouder of Nic She's been working so hard on improving her strength, balance and coordination over the last few months. Yesterday she achieved a spring bar roll up AND remembered to lower her shoulders at the end Her gorgeous smile is just an added bonus #superclient #perserverance #strength #balance #coordination #bestjobever #hersmileismyreward #pilatespractitioner #studiolife #livelovepilates #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint

08.01.2022 During our COVID19 Social Distancing I thought that I would share some of Joseph Pilates most memorable quotes. Particularly relevant during this time, in my opinion, is Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. Joe believed that physical well being and emotional health are inextricably linked. Why not test out his theory this week? Move more, sit less, breathe deeply and enjoy some fresh air. Then this time next Sunday evaluate how youre feeling both physically and mentally....you might just get a pleasant surprise Take care and have a great week. Ange

08.01.2022 I received this on an email with the subject 7%. The email body went on to say how it was estimated (by whom we’ll never know ) that 93% of people who received the email wouldn’t forward it on. I was in that 93%. However, the words of wisdom shared by Regina Brett, an American author and columnist for The Cleveland Jewish News, are well worth sharing. Regina wrote the original list of 45 life lessons to celebrate growing older. She has added 5 more over time. If ever...Continue reading

We want to pledge our eternal gratefulness to the diggers, past and present, who fight to keep our beautiful country safe and free. Lest we forget.

04.01.2022 Balance is such a key aspect of everyday life, and its important to maintain and try to improve it as we age. Adding resistance through springs, and working on single standing legwork is an excellent way to start to safely challenge clients and boost their confidence....especially our Seniors #balance #stability #footing #seniorhealth #strength #confidence #pilatesforlife #livelovepilates #innerstrengthpilateswellingtonpoint
