Silencito is your safe space awarding that ‘little silence’ in life… to move, to breathe, to be your self. It’s a place where you’ll align both body and spirit, and feel cared for by an experienced and skilful mentor. Silencito (see-len-see-toh) is Spanish for little silence. The aim of Pilates at Silencito is to help create joyful, balanced movement in every person. Working with you to integrate mind and body through movement, to create inner and outer transformation. This is an ongoing experience that becomes a way of living. Helping to heal and develop wellbeing in the body, mind and spirit. Pilates is for every body. Young, old, fit, unfit, healthy, unhealthy… from all walks of life. I aim to get to know each person, their needs and goals, to create an uplifting movement experience. Joyful, balanced movement every day is empowering. In Meditation at Silencito we explore many meditation techniques which are all interrelated, including: concentration meditation, mindfulness meditation, reflective meditation, creative meditation, heart centred meditation, stillness meditation and transformative meditation. Silencito is a fully equipped Pilates and Meditation studio with high quality equipment. Pilates tuition includes private classes, intimate groups (max. three people) and mat classes (up to six people). Meditation classes have a maximum of six people. That little space in the day, that little moment to be, that little awareness of self. Discover joy in the wonder of life, to breathe, to move, to align… to be.

Happy New Year!

It is so so so good to see all of my Pilates Beauties again! The start of a new year is a lovely fresh chance to open up to the unknown, the unexpected. There may be a better plan out there than the one we think if we open up with curiosity! Accepting what is, is a good place to start our Pilates journey without resistance.

From there, feeling that every movement starts from our breath, our inner connections and presence for overall mind-body-spirit awareness. Deep listening to our bodies’ whispered messages which inform us what is working well and what is not. Less expectations, more curiosity.

The following principles of Pilates hold true for every movement from the gentle to the dynamic…Breathing, concentration, control, centring, precision and flow….

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.

This year I am celebrating 27 years teaching experience! I am immensely grateful for each and every one of you. I thank you for trusting me and for your presence each week. Thank-you for your smiles, friendship and dedication.

With love and Silencito (that little silence),

X Liz

What a year! You are all amazing! I am overwhelmed with appreciation for all you beautiful souls!
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
As I reflect on this year past, I have an overall sense of significant shifts in all of you. It was a year of stepping up to that next phase. Shedding another layer of conditioned patterns to upgrade to a better way. Remembering that with good intentions, attention and self-direction, we can stay in charge of our own positive changes.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
“Change happens through movement and movement heals.” - Joseph Pilates
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Joseph Pilates called his method “Contrology”. The art of movement with control and awareness. Contrology is more than a system of exercise. It is a philosophy of intentional movement with awareness and self-mastery. Uniting mind, body and spirit through consciously controlled movement, to upgrade our subconscious habitual patterns to a better way. We consciously and subconsciously find a more intuitive path. When opening up to a greater whole self awareness in everyday life through movement, long-term positive change can happen on so many levels.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Silencito gives us that dedicated space of “little silence” between our worlds to step into. A “little silence” within the busyness, to access our unique wisdom by bringing awareness to the way we move, connect, feel, align. So much magic can happen in that “little silence” in life!
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
“The body is a sacred garment: it is what you enter life in and what you depart life with, and it should be treated with honour, and with joy” - Martha Graham
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
May we care for our sacred garments and choose to live a life of joy. May we learn to deeply listen to our bodies’ whispered messages, to let it guide us through movement and life. May we all choose joyful, harmonious movements with presence every day. Strength with grace. Lightness with power. Awareness with aliveness. Movement with presence. Body, mind, spirit.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
The studio reopens Tuesday 20th January 2026. Holiday sessions are running Friday 9th January, Monday 12th January and Tuesday 13th January. Please email hello@silencito.com.au with booking requests.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
The light in me sees the light in you! Wishing you peace, love and joy now and always.

Love Liz ###

Dear Silencito friends,

What an inspiring year from all of you! You are amazing! Such beautiful work!.................................................
If you were to take only one thing from Silencito Pilates & Meditation this year, may it be whole being awareness in everything you do. .................................................
Awareness of how you move through space, awareness of whole body, mind, spirit, whilst you do your everyday stuff. Creating better movement patterns, balance, alignment, activation, connection on all levels - physical emotional, spiritual….. With heightened awareness of movement, long-term change can happen on so many levels. .................................................
Tuning in to your self with curiosity, moving with presence, noticing subtler sensations of the body, deeper listening to that deeper knowing, using your inner wisdom to guide your movements, self directing, moving with a calm nervous system. Dropping in to whole being, whilst releasing all resistance to healing. Transmuting denseness, rigidity, stiffnesses to light, innately graceful, balanced, flowing movements with an essence of ease. .................................................
A greater whole awareness through movement is the key to making long-term positive changes. .................................................
Your Silencito studio offers a space of “little silence” in your life to allow this to happen. A “little silence” in the busyness, to access your unique wisdom by bringing awareness to the way you move and feel. Creating the space for the body to re-align to “heal” your self. So much magic can happen in that “little silence” in life! We consciously and unconsciously find a more intuitive way. It simply takes remembering, and having the dedicated space in our busy lives to remember..................................................
Strength with grace. Lightness with power. Awareness with aliveness. Movement with presence. Connecting with remembering. Body with spirit..................................................
You are all the light of my life. You lift me up and give me joy, passion and purpose. Thank-YOU! The light in me sees the light in you!.................................................
Our studio reopens Monday 13th January 2025! Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a peaceful, joyous new year. .................................................
With love and magic, Liz x 🌺.................................................

Such heartwarming words form my inspiring Silencito clients. I am honoured.

“…Quality teaching is a transmission and vibration and in some ways the modality is secondary, it is the conduit. Pilates is yours. Some people teach but without the Connection and it feels two dimensional and not particularly nourishing. My weekly experience in your studio is that the teaching is alive - there is you, there is me and there is the flow of teaching. It fills me up...
I feel stronger, more aligned and centred than I thought possible on the cusp of my 60's, given all the talk about aging, slowing down, weakening and health decline that saturates our culture.
I am conscious more than ever now that quality bodily movement every day is what brings me joy.”
- Nicky

******************

"If there was a theme tune for Silencito and Liz it would be 'every breathe you take, every move you make..I will be watching you'. My time with Liz over the years has seen me breathe through crises, changed my body and be held in sanctuary. Liz’s work is love in action and I am so grateful for who she is and what she does."
- Verena

******************

"Without your care and work I would not be able to do half as much as I can. You have over the last three years built me back up post chemotherapy , managed various tennis injuries and singularly attended to all my rehab post hip replacement much to the amazement of my surgeon. Your knowledge is outstanding making it so easy to fully trust you."
- Ruth

******************

"I am so delighted that your inspiring teaching is part of my life. I've rediscovered my strength, both physical and mental, through our weekly sessions and feel very confident within myself. I'd never really experienced a practice that I can sustain with such dedication before starting Pilates, and it's an excellent feeling.Thanks for being such a dedicated, intuitive and skilled teacher - I cherish you!"

Celebrating Silencito Pilates and Meditation Studio’s 6th year Anniversary! Along with 25 years of teaching Pilates!

And I am honouring you! Thank-you for trusting me with your self. I care about each of you and adore making a positive difference in your lives in some way. You all warm my heart. Thank-you for all that you are.

🌺”Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher” - Parker Palmer

This quote mirrors my aim as a teacher of my craft, to nurture joy in my fellow humans through harmonious, balanced movement in everyday life. Shifting density, stiffness, discord. Activating inner with outer strength, lightness, body awareness.

Strength with grace.

Making subtle but dramatic shifts in the body, teaching the body to move through life with ease and a calm nervous system. Listening to our subtler, deeper sensations to open up our own body wisdom. Moving smarter with more efficiency. Creating a space for healing, by being present with our movements.

🌺”Change happens through movement, and movement heals” - Joseph Pilates

You all are a huge reason for my desire to be better at what I do and more true to my self, whilst keeping my connection to higher consciousness.

The light in me sees the glorious light in you. Let the magic flow through!

🌺”Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul’s weather to all who can read it” - Martha Graham.

What a year! I want to hug you all!

As I reflect on this year past, I have an overall sense of such a beautiful change across all of you. There is a noticeable increase in overall awareness. With heightened awareness, change can happen on so many levels. As we spend our time in the studio moving with presence, staying tuned in, noticing subtleties; we gently make changes on a conscious and unconscious level. Creating and rejoicing in the feel-goodness along the way.

At Silencito, I am aiming to help us all open up to a greater whole awareness, through movement. We are often so attached to our bodies, that it is useful to bring our attention to the body and breath to help lead to better harmonious connections on all levels. Working with good attention and intention to change our ways. The body responds to the intentions of the mind.

By being as present as we can during our movements, moving with care and inner control, we can consciously and unconsciously find a more intuitive way with mind, body, being. We all know how to do this, it just takes remembering, and having the dedicated space in our busy lives to remember.

Transmuting denseness, rigidity, compression, stiffnesses to light, innately graceful, balanced nourishing movements with an essence of ease. Awareness is the key to making long-term positive changes.

I love teaching all of you so much and am forever grateful for your beautiful presence, friendships and all that you bring to the studio and my life.

Wishing you all a joyful Christmas and a loving, harmonious new year.

With love, Liz x🌺

Making a difference, one life at a time. This is my hope for every person who comes under my care in my studio. I see each person as a rose that blooms a little bit more, becomes a little bit more vibrant and a little bit more beauty-filled from each session.

- Liz x 🌺

“I’ve noticed something about people who make a difference in the world: They hold the unshakable conviction that individuals are extremely important, that every life matters. They get excited over one smile. They are willing to feed one stomach, educate one mind, and treat one wound. They aren’t determined to revolutionize the world all at once; they’re satisfied with small changes. Over time, though, the small changes add up. Sometimes they even transform cities and nations, and yes, the world."
- Beth Clark

What a Heartwarming Testimonial.

I am so grateful to receive feedback like this everyday from my treasured Pilates friends.

" Liz came to me to help me with post birth trauma after my first child. I was totally in able to look after my own body from the waist down. Liz provided private Pilates classes for me during a very personal and vulnerable time. Despite trying out different physiotherapists and programs, Liz was the only one who was able to fix me.

The connection between our minds and bodies especially when post birth can be extremely weak and Liz really understood, listened, and worked so delicately with me. Through visualization., breathwork and careful core work Liz helped me gain confidence in my own body and rehabilitation.

Without Liz I honestly believe I would not have our beautiful second child.

I am forever in debited to Liz . She is gentle, quietly confident and really is an earth angel"
- Jacqui C

With love filled silencito,

I am overwhelmed with appreciation for all you beautiful souls who have shined so bright in my life this year. I am honoured to welcome so many wonderful, diverse people in to our sacred studio. Every single one of you have so much specialness and I treasure you all.

As many of you know, I love this quote by the formidable Martha Graham….

“The body is a sacred garment. It is your first and last garment; it is what you enter life in and what you depart life with, and it should be treated with honour.” - Martha Graham.

May we care for our sacred garments and choose to live a life of joy. As we learn to listen to our innate body wisdom, we are guided in how to move our bodies. We are subtly different each day and there is a true wisdom in being able to recognise this and work with it. Our bodies are our teacher and as we learn to deeply listen to its whispered messages, we learn to let it guide us through our movements.

Our bodies are a marvel in all they can do and as we near the end of the year, I wish to celebrate the beauty and potential of all your bodies. Let your movements feel beautiful, filled with grace and inner strength. Find your own unique way to move and be, with a vibrant aliveness that is always deep within us. Our bodies are an expression of our inner selves as we dance upon this planet.

May we all choose joyful, harmonious movements with presence every day.

The studio will reopen on Monday 16th January 2023.

As we reflect over the year past, the present and the new year ahead, we also reflect on any new intentions for our Pilates journey. I will always do my very best to work with you to bring balance and harmony to your “sacred garment”.

I wish you all a life of pure love, joy and harmony now and always.

With love and deep gratitude to every single one of you,
Liz ###

“There is power that comes to women when they give birth. They don’t ask for it, it simply invades them. Accumulates like clouds on the horizon and passes through, carrying the child with it.”
– Sheryl Feldman

Congratulations dear Silencito Mum, Marieke, on the birth of your precious son, on the 8th November 2022. He is absolutely gorgeous. Welcome to Earth dear little one.

Marieke surely is a power woman! She birthed at home amongst the love of her family and is now Mum of five beautiful children. Every woman is so unique and that was certainly so in our pregnancy journey and birth preparations. As always, we went with the ebbs and flows, and worked with what's needed in the moment, rather than running by the rules.

You are an inspiration, Marieke. You are blessed with five little miracles.

With love and peace from all of us at Silencito
