NRG Pilates

We have been teaching ZOOM LIVE Pilates Matwork since the studio closed back in April due to COVID19, our ZOOM classes run once a day Monday-Friday, each week focusing on a different small apparatus. Some clients have been doing Pilates with us for a long time and are ready for a challenge. Starting from this Saturday we will be running a new class once a month called: NRG Pilates. This is an intermediate-advanced class and is for clients who have been coming to Pilates for 5 years minimum. Because it will be such a specialised class, there will be no cuing and we don’t recommend clients join if they have any pathologies. We are excited to add this class to our ZOOM portfolio and watching our clients learn new Pilates repertoire to improve their body development.

STUDIO UPDATE After attending the PAA Pilates Conference in September I have tapped into Pilates repertoire I had forgotten about. All terribly exciting for me. The workshops and lectures I attended were full of information and I loved it. They included Feet, Neck and Shoulder, Osteoporosis, working with Male clients, business, and Mat, Wundar Chair, Cadillac workouts. 1. My daughter Chelsea has started working one day a week with me – oh hallelujah. She is assisting with business administration and a real blessing. You may see her at the Studio on Thursday’s. 2. Florina is settling in well on Wednesday mornings. She took me through a Reformer workout last week. I almost sounded like a client… quietly groaning while been worked through my paces. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to my next workout. SAVE THE DATE ACTIVE PILATES QLD CHRISTMAS PARTY SUNDAY 24TH NOVEMBER 2019 12:00 – 4:00[…]

Pilates Elders – Clara Pilates

Posted under: Pilates Elders

Clara Pilates While Joe Pilates was the outspoken force behind his method, his wife Clara Pilates quietly incorporated his concepts and exercises in ways that benefited more seriously ill or injured clients. Her approachable style and special techniques spawned a dedicated lineage of teachers whose work flows through and uniquely colors the landscape of the Pilates method today. It is perhaps because of Clara that Pilates is clearly recognized as a positive form of movement-based exercise that truly can be tailored to any level of not just fitness, but also of health. – Pilates Method Alliance Pilates emigrated to the USA in the early 1920s with his wife Clara, and together they developed and taught the method in their ‘body-conditioning gym’ in New York in 1926.In 1932 Pilates published a booklet called ‘Your Health’ and followed this with another called ‘Return to Life Through Contrology’ in 1945. Through these writings[…]
