Exercise, including the Pilates Method, has a positive impact on both mother and baby throughout all stages of pregnancy.

The Pilates Method is an ideal form of exercise for pregnancy, when taught by a fully qualified instructor in a fully equipped studio. Both the nature of the work and equipment used, allow the workout to focus on the body in its entirety, as well as being completely adaptable in terms of load for strength gain, range of movement and body positioning. This caters not only to the different stages of pregnancy, but to each individual pregnancy as well.

The next time you suffer low back pain, rather than automatically grabbing your pain killer of choice, try taking a moment to truly listen to what your body is telling you. Is it telling you that you have been sitting (in front of the computer) for way too long and it’s time to move?

Moonee Ponds studio owner & Principle Instructor Kath Banks shows us how one of the easiest things to do is to simply stand up and reverse the curve of your spine.

Meet Rami! Rami’s decision to choose pilates over surgery changed his life completely. His Pilates Instructor Lina from our Moonee Ponds studio tells us about the amazing benefits Rami has been able to experience:
...
“I chose Tower for Rami as when he started he could barely reach his fingers to his knees. This exercise shows that his strength and flexibility have come so far that it is difficult to remember what Rami wasn’t able to do when he started. One of Rami’s early goals was to be able to touch his toes without any pain and with some trial and error, he certainly surpassed that goal as he now includes regular gym work and running 5-10km each week along with his Pilates session. Rami’s dedication to his practice shows that Pilates can work!”
