08.01.2022 I would like you all to meet the lovely Melissa, another of our instructors at Pure Balance Pilates & Yoga. Melissa is beautiful inside and out. You always walk out of a class with Melissa feeling happier and healthier. She has such a natural teaching ability and a strong sense of what you and your body need. A little about her history. Melissa McDermott grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana where she studied classical ballet under the former New Orleans City Ballet director H...arvey Hysell. Her intense studies brought her to dance internationally, competing in Perm, Russia in 1992. After graduation from High School she continued her studies at the University of New Orleans and Towson University in Maryland. She continued to dance while at University, performing with The Kimberly Mackin Dance Company and the Baltimore Opera. In 2005 she completed a bachelor degree in Religious Studies graduating with honours. After moving to Australia and becoming the mother of two, Melissa found her way to Pilates, training with Carmen Sterland (Pure Balance Pilates) in 2010. She began her Pilates certification in 2013 with Stott Pilates to become a teacher. Melissa has been training with Stott Pilates since 2013 completing courses in: Mat Pilates; Advanced Mat Pilates; Essential and Intermediate Reformer; Total Barre; and ISP (injuries and Special Populations). Pilates became important to me after I had children and I stopped dancing. I missed being in my body. I also found I had more pain because of my lack of movement and exercise. Pilates has helped me fix some debilitating injuries while bringing me back into my body. For me Pilates has been the answer to both recovery and prevention of injury. Come in and meet Melissa and book in for one of her classes, she is also one of the only people in the local area teaching Total Barre which is such a fun way to improve your fitness and get a little butt lift! What is total barre? Barre classes a little fusion of techniques from disciplines of Pilates, Yoga and Ballet with a modern twist!

08.01.2022 We have moved to a great new convenient location! We are now located at 7 Nullum Street Murwillumbah, next to Satha Sai. A new Space, some new machines, new faces, new vibe, come and find your new body! Please share with all your friends.... #pilates #murwillumbah

What are the healing benefits of exercising in a magnesium pool? Magnesium is necessary mineral for your health and wellbeing as it is required for more than 300 crucial enzyme reactions and cellular processes in our body. Magnesium is stored in our bones (approx 50%) and the remaining part is predominantly found in our cells in the body tissues and organs. Magnesium is needed to keep muscle and nerve functioning normal, for a strong heart beat rhythm, a healthy immune system, strong bones, regulated blood sugar levels, normal blood pressure and an active cellular metabolism. Magnesium has a positive effect on treating disorders like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes. When ingested, magnesium gets absorbed in the small intestines and is excreted through the kidneys. When Magnesium is deficient, some of the symptoms include neck and back pain, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, muscle weakness and spasms, insomnia, abnormal heart rhythms, and muscle twitching. It is known that when we are under stress, our bodies tend to use up much of the bodily Magnesium. Some of societies common ailments such as diabetes, depression and menopausal symptoms, can be improved by managing Magnesium levels. Magnesium is a vital mineral that aids in absorbing calcium and plays an important role in forming and strengthening teeth and bones. Magnesium can be ingested or absorbed transdermally (through the skin organ). A growing trend is the introduction of Magnesium Swimming Pools. Couple that with therapeutic exercise and you have preventative medicine! DISCOVER a Fun way to exercise, keep fit and stay motivated to look after your body through the Winter months. Health in MOTION!
