✨🐣 Happy Easter everyone! 🐣✨

Term 2 studio classes are now live on the website – go have a browse and lock in your spots!

We’ve made a few little timetable tweaks this term:
🤍 With Kaitlin off enjoying maternity leave, Anna is back on the tools (for a limited time!), taking our Mums & Bubs Pilates Blend – now on Tuesday mornings
🧘‍♀️ Neeshma’s Mums & Bubs Yoga has moved to Thursday mornings

There really is something for everyone this term:
🌿 Pregnancy yoga & Pilates to support your changing body and prepare for birth
👶 Mums & bubs classes where babies (and kids of all ages!) are always welcome – no need to stress about childcare
✨ Saturday morning yoga – the perfect gentle reset to start your weekend

What makes our classes a little bit special?
💛 Led by experienced women’s health professionals who truly get your body
💛 A supportive, no-pressure environment (come as you are, messy buns + all!)
💛 Focus on real-life strength, mobility, and nervous system support – not just “exercise for exercise’s sake”

As we head into the cooler months, there’s no better time to prioritise some gentle movement, connection, and time for you ❄️

👉 Check out the timetable and book your spot via the website

We can’t wait to see you in the studio! 💫

Unfortunately this is not an unusual story 😢

In the last three years, I’ve had over 50 endometriosis lesions cut out of my body. A chocolate cyst that was adhering my o***y to my side was removed. An appendectomy and a hernia repair. I’ve felt indescribable, inescapable pain. Trying to keep my invisible illness to myself after being told by doctors it was just “part of being a woman.” I spent 10 years being undiagnosed. As a teenager and young woman, I felt weak and deeply insecure. I was trapped in my own body. March is endometriosis awareness month. As this month comes to a close, I urge everyone to remember this invisible disease each and every day. To lend support, compassion and grace towards the millions who suffer. It’s up to all of us to raise awareness, not just for endometriosis but for women’s health as a whole. No one deserves to suffer in silence. For more information I turned to and . If you’re in pain, my heart breaks for you. I believe you. Please find answers. And don’t give up on yourself. I know how hard that can be.

The cutest shoes and attendees in the Mums & Bubs Pilates Blend session this morning.

Our mums and bubs classes aren’t just for babies. Toddlers and older children are also welcome.

It’s very cute seeing the children come to do their yoga and Pilates - they really become part of the class.

New classes starting after Easter
