Movement Intellect

Movement Intellect Welcome to our boutique studio. Movement Intellect is about celebrating movement. It's about nourishing the body and mind connection.

A place where we offer movement classes and personal training sessions for body-mind wellbeing (including Reformer Pilates, Equipment Pilates, Yoga, Fascia Movement & Release work and Mindfulness) During Pilates classes we'll focus on moving your body in a skilful and functional way that will help improve mobility and strength where you need it most in your daily life. We feel strongly about the fact that mindful movement is a form of meditation. If you join for a specific meditation session the focus is on guiding you through your own experience.

How does your Reformer Pilates class make you feel?

Personally, I value a class that makes me leave with a sense of space, body and mind! I can breathe easier, movements feel freer, I feel more grounded.

During my small group Reformer Pilates classes I combine my knowledge as a comprehensively trained Pilates Teacher, integral anatomy, scientific research about fascia in motion and 20 years of teaching experience to guide you through a movement flow. Movements have a natural sense of glide and multidimensional expansiveness. We train the entire body in ways that invite space. Space in the body contributes to healthy joints & healthy organs. AND it feels pretty good.

If you favour a ‘feel the burn’ type Reformer class, you won’t get that here. (No reason why you cannot enjoy both! )

My studio in Bloubergstrand has the following spaces available this week:
Wednesday 5pm & 6pm
Thursday 9am

Introductory block of 3 sessions: R950

Are you going to the Conscious Movement Conference at next weekend? Give us a 🎉 in comments if yes!

I’m looking forward to teaching my Reformer meets Fascia Movement workshop (not workout as per the clip 🤦🏼‍♀️)

For the workshop I’ve taken inspiration from Reformer Pilates and FAMO Fascia Movement to create short movement sequences that will improve tensional strength, multidimensionality, fluidity and glide…all fascial movement qualities we can deliberately train.

You see, it’s not either Pilates or Fascia Movement, it’s simply BOTH is more! Enriching and innovativing what you already teach!

For a Fascia-focussed workshop for Pilates Teachers

If you interested in how to integrate fascia-focussed movement with Pilates, this is for you.

During this short workshop for movement teachers we will explore what fascia-focussed movement means, why it matters, how it can enhance your skill set as a movement teacher and more importantly how it will benefit your clients.

You will learn about fascia, how deliberately enhancing certain fascia movement qualities will help us and our clients move better.

We will look at some well known Pilates exercises and teach it with fascia-focussed cueing. I will also touch on some exercises that clients usually struggle with in Pilates and shine a light on how enhancing certain fascia movement qualities can help your clients perform these with greater ease.

The practical workshop will include self massage techniques and hydrating movement interplays. We will talk about props, density, the benefits of self massage for greater movement, health and vitality.

This workshop is for Movement Teachers that are curious about fascia, how adding fascia-focussed cueing and improving fascia movement qualities can enhance and add to the effectiveness of classes and repertoire already offered. If we can help improve the bodies’ potential for self healing and empower somatic trust we can help our clients thrive in life.

My workshop on the 17th April is already sold out, book soon before this one solds out too. The investment is £95, booking via my website. www.movementintelkect.com , head over to the plans and pricing page.
