25.01.2022 Not long until we can get you moving on the equipment again- whos missed the deliciousness of shortspine on the reformer? Dont forget were taking the long weekend off to gather our energy for the weeks ahead, and all Saturday and Monday classes are cancelled. Happy long weekend!

24.01.2022 Polestar students making the hard stuff look breezy in the studio! . . . #iampolestar #polestarpilates #russiansplits

24.01.2022 Looks like its here to stay for a while, so giving it our best shot!

23.01.2022 An excellent morning of online semi privates. Its amazing what you can do with a few props, a wall, some tinned goods (if you can get them) and of course a sense of humour!! Brand new schedule of semis, privates and mat classes lined up for next week- book online and join us on screen! #workingfromhome #pilatesathome #escapetothecountry #quarantineroutine

22.01.2022 Mental health Self care Movement A strong body that keeps you agile as you age is pretty important, but Pilates at Room For Movement also offers so much more.... Think of your visits as powerful self-care, and an opportunity each and every week to 'undesk' and 'unstress' yourself! How have you found that your Pilates helps you in everyday life? . . . #movementismedicine #pilatesstrong #innerwestpilates #summertime #studioclasses #semiprivatetraining #innerwestsydney #bonestrength #pilatesfaves #pilatesateveryage #moveyourbody #pilates #pilatespetersham #innerwestpilates #bonehealth #fitnessatallages #pilatesforhealth #pilatesonline #nourishyourbody #alloverbodyworkout #postnatalmums See more

22.01.2022 Rachaels back in the studio this week after a week of R&R and feeling energised!! Join her for mat class tomorrow morning and prepare to move your hips in AAALLLL of the different ways possible! Credit for this joyful image: @little_lsquiz

21.01.2022 Sometimes all you need are the basics... a little bit of spine extension missing but we’ll sort that out on the spine corrector! SO good to be back this week! . .... . #innerwestpilates #exerciseformenopause #functionalmovementsydney #osteoporosisprevention #bonestrength #healthyjoints #pilatessydney See more

21.01.2022 Its ironic that the times when we need our self care strategies the most are the times when we make the least time for them. Things can be a little wild this end of the year so dont skip out on the things that make you feel strong, calm and capable . . .... #imnotbusy #selfcarestrategies #dontfalloffthewagon See more

20.01.2022 Okay folks, dust off the foam roller, grab your theraband and get ready for some virtual Pilates!!

Let us know if youd like to go on the working from home and interested list!! . .... . #flattenthecurve #pilatesathome See more

20.01.2022 POSTNATAL THURSDAYS Yay for Thursdays when the studio is visited by mums & their babes for our Return to Exercise postnatal course. This is a course with a difference - it’s not a ‘get your body back’ punishment, but a gradual and respectful return to movement after the epic journey of pregnancy and mummahood (and sometimes, the journey to pregnancy)!... Reach out to register your interest for our upcoming course. You’ve got this mamas! . . . #returntoexercise #postnatal #pregnancyjourney #postnatalpilates #postnatalfitness #sydneypil ates #mumsandbubspilates #intelligentmovement #moveforhealth #innerwestmumsandbubs #pregnancy #childbirth #postpartum

20.01.2022 You might not realise - but Pilates can help with a number of conditions, including INCONTINENCE! Yep, we have a number of clients of all ages and stages (new mums, hands up!) of life who've found that Pilates can definitely help with this issue. We also have an amazing Inner West referral network of physios, osteos, acupuncturists and more! "Physiotherapy eventually helped. But it took time to get to that point. I didn't know where any physiotherapists were. I didn't know th...at I could access them outside of the hospital," she says. Ms O'Reilly has since learnt there's a "whole secret branch of the medical sector devoted to pelvic floor care and rehabilitating [the] pelvic floor". https://www.abc.net.au//incontinence-affects-one/100249554 See more

20.01.2022 Youd be mistaken if you thought well go easy on you in the virtual world Well keep you accountable and continue to work towards your longterm goals, while addressing how you feel on the day (crumpled up from all that desk work maybe?) Check out the schedule via the link in our bio, and see you on the screen #pilatesathome #workingfromhomesydney #movementismedicine

19.01.2022 Imagine chronic neck & back pain that requires daily painkillers and health experts resigning you to a lifetime of that pain. At the time of the video M had been doing weekly studio Pilates for only three months and here you are...no more painkillers, ease of movement, and spine articulation to be envious of!! The magic of moving never ceases to amaze us . . .... #movementismedicine See more

17.01.2022 Meet Rachael! Shes the owner of the Room For Movement Pilates Studio in Sydneys Inner West. The disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has meant that... Rachael has had to change the way that her studio delivers classes to their clients. Room for Movement now offer more one-to-one experiences, host smaller classes and have the option for people to attend by #ZOOM! When you shop local, you support locals! : Go Local First | #GoLocalFirst

16.01.2022 PILATES AT HOME We've got to say, one of the silver linings of Covid has been the flip to online and flexible classes. We love that you are into your online mat classes - and we've created some special 4 and 8 packs so you can commit to your practice at a good price point! Want to practice pilates at home? With at home props? In your pj's (if you want?!)? Then these classes are for you. See you on the mat!... . . . #pilatesstrong #innerwestpilates #pilatesreformer #petershamlocals #petershampilates #matpilates #mindbodyconnection #movementismedicine #slowandsteady #lowpact #lowimpactworkout #fitatallages #pilatesfit #stressmanagement #innerwestlocal #fallsprevention See more

16.01.2022 Its been a rollercoaster... so heres a little throw back to a much calmer time. So weve closed our doors at our physical studio, but were pushing on and already up and running online. A short term schedule is in place for this week and a longer term (who knows how long) schedule in place from next week. We will continue to teach semiprivate individual Pilates sessions and will have an array of live mat classes on offer through the week. ... Please share to support our small business and at the same time stay healthy and sane. Book using the link below and see you on the screen www.roomformovement.com.au/book #pilatesonline #pilatesathome #workingfromhome #getupfromyourdesk

15.01.2022 View for the afternoon

13.01.2022 Oh the possibilities... More over balls in stock at the studio. Current clients just drop Rachael an email to reserve one.

11.01.2022 Room For Movement would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation who are the traditional custodians of the land on which our studio stands. Thanks @pixienut for the artwork #alwayswasalwayswillbe #invasionday #yabun2020

11.01.2022 Two free spots in our 8am mat class tomorrow morning... its going to be magic! Book via the link in our bio. . . . #pilatesinpetersham #sydneyweekender #bestwaytostarttheweekend #petershamlocal #leichhardtpilates #leichhardtforum #leichhardtlocal

11.01.2022 Were currently working on a schedule for another Return to Exercise course for new Mums. We missed a whole round due to our COVID closure but were excited to move more Mums around the studio soon- all socially distant and CovidSafe of course! Dates to be released soon If you really cant wait and want to get moving a bit sooner, you can join our PostNatal Restore online mat class... you just need a device with zoom, an exercise mat and a rolled up towel. Join Rachael ...on Thursdays at 1pm from home! . . . #postnatalpilates #innerwestpilates #innerwestmums #diastasisrectirecovery See more

10.01.2022 Returning to Exercise Postnatally Our ‘Return to Exercise’ course is booked out and underway, and we’ve getting a second weekly fix of tiny people online in our ‘Postnatal Restore’ online group class! Here we move everyone as a group towards the shared outcomes of: restoring strength gently and gradually to the body as a whole reconnecting breath + pelvic floor and building awareness of their important connection... improving alignment of the ribcage and pelvis to improve movement patterns reversing ‘feeding postures’ to alleviate neck, shoulder and upper back pain The next in house ‘Return to Exercise’ course won’t take off until next year but if you want to start moving before 2021 the ‘Postnatal Restore’ classes are the ideal way to start: gradually, gently and with respect for what you and your little one have been through in the first few weeks/months of life as a Mum. We recommend starting with an initial assessment to prepare you for taking class at home, and always waiting for clearance from your health care provider to start exercise again. . . . #postnatalpilates #postnatalfitness #mumsandbubs #mumsandbubspilates #innerwestmums #innerwestpilates #pilatesstrong #newmotherhood #womenshealth #pelvicfloor #abdominalseparation #mumsnbubs

10.01.2022 Lets just all take a minute to collectively acknowledge how much we miss the studio...... What are you missing most: Feet in straps? Standing hip stretch? Hanging on the trap? Hamstrings on the chair? #ilovepilates #welovepilates #movementismedicine #imissthesprings

09.01.2022 Step it up Now here's a step up from your average bridge! Getting into this exercise requires a lot of intrinsic foot control, and a nice strong connection to the back body- especially the hamstrings....not for the faint hearted. And people think Pilates is just stretching...Thanks to Valerie for the beautiful demonstration! ... . . . #pilatesstrong #innerwestsydney #bonestrength #pilatesfaves #pilatesateveryage #moveyourbody #pilates #pilatespetersham #innerwestpilates #bonehealth #movementismedicine #fitnessatallages #pilatesforhealth #pilatesonline #nourishyourbody #alloverbodyworkout See more

09.01.2022 Want to do some Burpees- Pilates style? of course you do! Dont get bogged down at your home office, get up and into the studio for an extra class and we promise youll feel the better for it!

09.01.2022 Sneaky peak into Rachaels lunchtime At Home mat class yesterday. The classes have a restorative approach to moving the body and building strength, which means youll walk away from class with MORE energy, better focus and a longer spine- even after working the abdominals, glutes and all the other hotspots!!

08.01.2022 You are strong! You are capable! You've got this!... If you're shaking your head no to the above, especially after 'the chair' has knocked you about again after another session (or is that just us?!) we've got a secret for you.... The key to gaining strength in any movement practice is... CONSISTENCY! Yep, good old back-at-it-again-consistency. We see it time and time again in the studio - these amazing new-found skills, strengths and shapes occurring day after day, just by showing up. It's why we recommend a practice every week. So here's your reminder to book in your session for next week, friends! We promise, you've got this! . . . #pilatesstrong #petershampilates #innerwestpilates #movementismedicine #womenshealth #pilatesonline #strong #pilatesreformer #pilatesformen #innerwestisbest #petersham See more

08.01.2022 So many ways in which we can replicate the studio work while working on the mat with props. If you just cant imagine how our semi privates might work without equipment then just ask #onlinepilatesclasses #workingfromhome #theraband #reformerpilates #reformerarmseries #quarantineroutine

08.01.2022 Its been a treat to move each and every one of you in 2019- thanks for coming along for the ride. Were taking a rest from teaching in the studio until January 6th and will only be checking emails intermittently- dont dismay if you dont hear from us straight away as well be taking it s-l-o-w

07.01.2022 Good belly laugh from this one!!

07.01.2022 First plank in the studio, and its a good one! Before we get back into the swing of things Id like to thank our instructors who were able to get on board with our online classes amidst the upheaval in each of their own lives. Amanda, Lilly and Natalia- you literally adapted on demand, placing your trust in me and our clients- you carried out what was asked of you without question and our clients are so lucky to have you. You will forever have my gratitude for playing a part in keeping RFM alive. THANK YOU for taking the leap with me!! @thenewblackml @mandslansdowne @natidurdom

07.01.2022 Never did I ever think Id be using the trapeze table as a desk for online classes...But here it is in all its glory ready for a morning of online teaching! With all the demonstration it seems to be the easiest place to move around from... Picture on the right is after a few hours of teaching...

06.01.2022 NATURE'S STAIRCASE How are your knees and ankles? Do you trust them? Do they bother you going upstairs or downstairs, or both? How would you cope with Nature's staircase, stepping from rock to rock on uneven surfaces? Moving up and down but often sideways at the same time? Or on a slippery surface with nothing to hold onto... ?... Would you feel supported enough from the ground up to keep going without hesitation? Join us in the studio to troubleshoot your knee or ankle pain. (And don't forget we have our monthly bushwalking club as well!) . . . #pilatesstrong #innerwestsydney #bonestrength #pilatesfaves #pilatesateveryage #moveyourbody #pilates #pilatespetersham #innerwestpilates #bonehealth #movementismedicine #fitnessatallages #pilatesforhealth #pilatesonline #nourishyourbody #slings #scapularstability #stabilityexercises #proprioception #neutralspine #corestability #thegreatoutdoors #bushwalking #kneestrength #kneemobility #hipmobility See more

05.01.2022 2020 is the year of STRONG and were off to a good start If youd like to join a Pilates class this year but dont fancy the idea of a big group class then come and join us. We keep our sessions small and focused on the individuals experience and we love it that way! #studiopilates #privatepilates #smashinggoals #loveyourbody

05.01.2022 Briefly coming out of our social media hiatus to say Happy New Year! Hope you’re all enjoying some NSW scenery (even in the rain) and refilling your cup with nice activities and lovely people. If you’re craving some movement before returning to classes next week then check out our NEW online video library (current clients you have until Monday 11th to use your promo code for freebies!!) Check out the video library here https://www.roomformovement.com.au/video-library

05.01.2022 Initial Consultations, Private sessions, and Duets (two people from the same household) will recommence in-house from the 15th of June. Hooray! As per our plan to return to the studio in a safe and measured way, semi-privates will follow soon after. Keep an eye out for our next newsletter which will detail schedule changes and the steps weve taken to keep us all safe as we begin moving together again. Very much looking forward to gradually seeing you all back in the studio ...again. Rach, Amanda, Lilly, Natalia & Claire See more

04.01.2022 Missing your session with Rachael this week? Rollout your mat, do some bridging, some spine rotations, that hip stretch you love, or just roll around as you please. It doesnt have to be perfect, it just has to be movement..

With so many of you commenting that you feel stronger from your online classes we want to make them a permanent offering at RFM.

02.01.2022 Breaking it all up with some green A happy reminder for you all that we’re closed for the long weekend and there are no classes on Saturday or Monday. And also a reminder that moving your body is FREE!! Get out to the bush or swim in the sea, and put all that hard work at the studio to good use, you are strong and capable and have a body deserving of nourishing movement!!

02.01.2022 STRESS BUSTER A 2008 study from the Journal of Endocrinological Investigation showed that low intensity exercise resulted in a reduction in circulating cortisol levels > great news during a very stressful year. We’ve had record breaking commitment from all clients in the months since reopening and we’re delighted that Pilates at our studio has become a part of your weekly self care routines, so many benefits on top of all the stress-busting! . .... . #pilatesstrong #innerwestpilates #pilatesreformer #petershamlocals #petershampilates #mindbodyconnection #stressless #stressreduction #movementismedicine #slowandsteady #lowpact #lowimpactworkout #fitatallages #pilatesfit #stressmanagement #innerwestlocal See more

02.01.2022 Avoiding online classes in an effort to get away from your computer? Dont! Our online group mat classes are very different to your average online work meeting: Not only is your computer set up at a distance, but once in a class with us youll barely need to look at the screen: our instructors are expert at guiding the class verbally, and cueing all the modifications needed for different body types and sore joints. Not to mention, every class moves every joint in the body and includes an array of exercises chosen to reverse time spent seated in front of a computer (stronger abs and toned glutes are just a happy product of all the movement.)

01.01.2022 Wednesday evening circuit class with Lilly starts this week- so exciting to be doing more of our new dynamic studio class structure! Were continuing our 2020 theme of STRONG so come prepared to jump, lunge, roll, reach, get a little sweaty and of course have a giggle too!!
