24.01.2022 First week back in the studio! Happy dance! I have been walking on clouds all week! Many are holding fresh intentions for their Pilates journey. The beauty of Pilates is that each session each week, month, year can be adapted for you. We have all been through big changes over the past few months and I envisage that everybody will be moving differently or hold different intentions. Pilates is beneficial longterm for the whole of our lives as movements always evolve to suit t...he different stages of life we naturally go through. Being present in our body, aware of our body in movement and in-tune with our body sensations is an essential part of healthy movement. This enables us to notice physical and emotional strain, so we can make changes before they become a problem. Pilates can help us connect with our instincts and our physical sensations. The healing power of balanced movement. Silencito is a Professional Pilates Studio, using the traditional equipment of reformers, cadillacs, wunda chairs, barrels aswell as small apparatus to help stabilise, strengthen and mobilise your body. I have been teaching for 18 years, hold an Advanced Diploma in The Pilates Method, am a Principal Trainer with the Pilates Alliance of Australasia and a Pre/Post-natal Movement Specialist. I am truly, madly, deeply in love with teaching and adore my Pilates friends. What a calm and enriching week! Let’s celebrate balanced, joyful movement every day. With silencito, Xxx Liz

21.01.2022 I am loving being with each and every one of my Pilates friends in the studio and it warms my heart to see balanced, joyful movement in creation once more! Pilates means different things to each of us and at different stages of our lives. For me it means inner silence. It is my inner silence, my connection to my true self, my inner knowing, my breath, my body, my spirit. It is this moving meditation and connection to my self that keeps my heart singing, keeps me loving li...fe. The healing power of balanced movement! Nothing is more revealing than movement. The body says what words cannot. Martha Graham The principles of Pilates hold true for every movement from the gentle to the dynamicBreathing, concentration, control, centring, precision and flow. I see each of my Pilates friends embodying these more and more each week. Breathing is life itself! It is used to connect mind, body and spirit, create body awareness, to release tension, energise, assist, challenge and nourish the body at every level. Centring is the inner connectedness of the body. All movements initiate from the centre of the body, that inner stability and that inner presence. Concentration is the presence in all movements to make them more effective and pure, lessening inessential effort. Control is the ability to maintain direction over the mind and body to create the movement. Precision is to work with alignment, care and efficient movement. Flow is to move smoothly with flowing energy and continuous control to create light, graceful movements that feel beautiful in the body, mind and spirit. Being present in our body, aware of our body in movement, connected to our breath and in-tune with our body sensations is an essential part of healthy movement. Thank-you for your smiles, friendship and dedication. With love and Silencito (that little silence), X Liz "Change happens through movement, and movement heals" - Joseph Pilates ...

16.01.2022 Pilates and Meditation at Silencito is drawing to a close for the year, re-opening on Monday 6th January 2020! I would like to say that I am overwhelmed with appreciation for each and every one of you. I adore teaching you and hopefully making some small difference in your lives. I have seen each of you create healthier, more balanced movement, an increased sense of inner and outer strength, a calmer presence whilst you move, deeper richer breathing, increased energy, grace... along with heightened body-mind-spirit awareness. Well done! This is why I am passionate about Pilates and Meditation... balanced, joyful movement and inner peace. I hope that Silencito has given you that little silence that inner space, that little moment to breathe, to align, to move, to be (See-len-see-toh means Little Silence in Spanish) I can’t wait for more enriching Pilates and Meditation moments in the new year. For now, rest, reflect, re-energise and make time to enjoy some silence over the festive season. Wishing you an extraordinary new year ahead, filled with peace, love and joy. With silencito, Liz xxx

10.01.2022 You may have noticed two new pieces of beautiful art in the studio this week, "Stillness" and "Shifting Light". I have been experiencing a serene, contemplative space by the Pilates High Barrel whilst moving, aligning, breathing, being under these creations..... from the calm opening of the morning light through the day's waves to the reflective, peaceful eveningtime. They bring their own elegant expression to that corner of the room. The pieces were created by Silencito cli...ent and friend, Cheryl McCoy, and were recently exhibited at the Gosford Art Gallery as part of the Makers Studio community art exhibition. Enjoy some time with them each time you are in the studio. There are many layers I step through, as I see different depths, light, shade each time.... Cheryl shares with us some of the details.... Stillness is a unique state print created using three separate matrix (plates). Two photopolymer plates inked with umber & gold charbonelle to create a background. This was then overprinted with a relief Lino to create the silhouette. I hope to reflect the different views of the bush land where I regularly walk. Shifting Light is also a unique state with the application of two matrix (plates) one collograph plate for the background overprinted with the silhouette of banksia. Sennelier inks are then applied to add further colour. Photopolymer plates are created by developing an image using UV light to burn onto a photo emulsion surface. Collograph plates are created using cardboard & textural materials sealed with shellac then inked & pressed. Unique state refers to the fact that the Print cannot be created exactly the same - there may be similar types created but never the same. They are both bleed prints which means they have been printed to the edges of the printmaking paper. All my prints are printed using a printing press similar to those use in 15th century. I have attached a photo of the press below.

07.01.2022 Welcome to the world, precious Willow Rae Bell! Congratulations to our dear Silencito Mum, Mandy, who birthed little Willow on the 8th of May in New Zealand! I was honoured to help Mandy through her first two trimesters of pregnancy before she moved away. Aren’t women's bodies amazing to grow, bring forth and sustain a human life? A miracle. Willow made you a mother, dear Mandy. Enjoy those magical newborn cuddles. ...

06.01.2022 Dear Pilates friends, I hope you are all well. How I miss teaching you all in the studio and seeing your smiling faces. I long to give each one of you a big, long hug, however I think it will be a quite a while before we can hug! Many of you have been asking when we can be back in the studio, so I thought I would send an update. The short answer is that there is no date set for NSW yet. All other states and territories are opening in May or June. I anticipate it will be en...d of June or beginning of July for NSW. The Pilates Alliance of Australasia (PAA) has been lobbying the government to allow qualified and government accredited Pilates instructors to provide Pilates therapy again as soon as possible. We all know that individualised Pilates therapy delivered by accredited Pilates instructors is essential to so many to maintain physical, mental, emotional, spiritual health. There is a big difference between Pilates delivered by accredited instructors in a professional Pilates studio and pilates-based exercises in other environments, such as gyms. Pilates therapy is a health service, tailored to individual needs and delivered in private or very small group settings (max 4). Pilates programs are specifically aimed at helping to manage chronic healthcare conditions and musculoskeletal pain syndromes. PAA accredited Pilates instructors must hold a minimum AQF level 5 (diploma) qualification, be committed to further professional development, hold insurance and first aid. I am so looking forward to seeing each and every one of you again. I have loved seeing most of you in your beautiful homes and am immensely glad we have been able to keep moving in this way, but it can never replace the real experience of person to person interaction, learning and teaching. With love and silencito, Liz xxx Change happens through movement, and movement heals - Joseph Pilates

04.01.2022 Welcome to the world dear Capree Harper, born on the 19th June! Congratulations to amazing parents, Cene and Chris, and big sister Chloe. I am so incredibly proud of Mum, Cene. She embraced her pregnancy journey, allowing herself to trust her intuition and her natural ability to birth for the second time. I am honoured to have been able to help her through both pregnancies, as well as her post-natal healing. We worked on movements, breathing, visualisations and meditations ...designed to open and release the body for birth, to help baby turn, to keep birth progressing and to help Mum and baby work together to the point their worlds could meet. Birth went so well. I delivered her in water again and was such a beautifully natural experience. Have you to thanks for preparing me so well. I practiced all the exercises we went through and this helped Capree get down further to make her debut. Thanks again for all your guidance and advice; it made all the difference. We’ve been raving about you to all the nurses in the hospital - Cene Capree is blessed to have you as her parents. Enjoy these magical newborn moments and life as a precious family of four. With love and joy now always, Liz xxx Giving birth and being born brings us into the essence of creation, where the human spirit is courageous and bold and the body, a miracle of wisdom.

03.01.2022 What a wonderful first week of Pilates at home with Silencito en Casa! It is amazing that we are still able to create a connection in a personal way through a screen. I view the screen as a thin veil, like a mist, rather than a barrier between us. I feel we all are connecting deep on a personal level, as we merge our personal intentions for the sessions. Huge thanks from the bottom of my heart for making time for your self. To breathe, to move, to re-energise, to cultivate ...inner calm. It is needed now more than ever before.
