I’m back baby… Never been so grateful to get back I’m back baby… 
Never been so grateful to get back on the reformer, lost myself in a little bit of flow for an hour in the group room. 
Looking forward to seeing your gorgeous faces again 🌀🌀🌀
Pilates has been the air I breathe for just shy of Pilates has been the air I breathe for just shy of 15 years…but I’m taking 3 months away from @roomformovement to explore new places, cultures, teachers and ways of moving that I hope  iurish ny mind and body and inspire the next phase of my life in this business

I’m leaving RfM in the uber capable hands of the team, and will update with lots of movement/Pilates related bits along the way. 

Getting my fix in on the equipment while I can 😌 ✨ 

Acknowledgement: This straight sized body is not the result of how hard I work or how much Pilates I’ve done- I just have a small body. The movement skill? I’ve been privileged enough to spend my life working on that.

Last of the big birthday celebrations as some of u Last of the big birthday celebrations as some of us took retreat together in Palm Beach @wildluxury__co this weekend past. Such a joy to come together amongst the gumtrees, ferns and ancient rock to eat, swim, learn and play together. 

Special thanks to Mel @melissawright.com.au for literally ferrying over to deliver a beautiful workshop on Mindfulness and Boundaries in Teaching.

What a special bunch- we can’t NOT make it an annual thing now🌿 Happy Birthday to us!

This world moves fast, and it moves fast at surfac This world moves fast, and it moves fast at surface level. There so much noise about how we SHOULD be moving our bodies
We’re rewarded for punishing and shrinking our bodies without really understanding them. Encouraged to panic about the latest advice on strength and bone density, overriding our own intuition in the process. We choose the hardest workouts with the quickest results, and we’ve learned to conflate “self-care” with time spent at the prettiest gyms or following the advice of the loudest commentators.

If you’re reentering the exercise space or haven’t moved for a while, the OVERWHELM can make it feel like there’s no room to just get started with SOMETHING. By no means am I suggesting we stick our heads in the sand—knowledge is power—but what use is all this information if it feels paralysing?

What if getting started could look like:
 ✨ Finding a supportive environment with skilled movement teachers, part of a greater network of health and exercise professionals
 ✨ Top-to-toe body conditioning classes that build longevity in a holistic way, incorporating: balance, control, coordination, breathing, mobility AND strength training.
✨ Building a dialogue with your body so you can actually learn what you like and what feels good in your body, and what is challenging for you
✨ Reaping the benefits of a commitment to deep learning about your body and how to take care of it

Respecting your body enough to say yes to something you actually ENJOY is an act of radical self-care. It’s a rebellion against the “burnout” culture of modern fitness, the patriarchy and unrelenting noise of the internet.
If you’re looking for a way to just start…Trial 3 group reformer classes for $60. Come rebel with us.

Although Room For Movement is rooted in a love for Although Room For Movement is rooted in a love for Pilates—at the heart of what we do is an approach that challenges the norms of the fitness industry, and sits at the intersection of movement, healthcare, mental health, and feminism.

This studio holds the space for the FULL spectrum of movement— movement that calms and softens, movement that burns and energises, and everything in between. All movement is valuable here. Let me explain what that looks like in practice…

💙 We’ll teach you Pilates, consider your goals and help you work towards them, building strength, control, mobility and balance in your body—improving movement patterns in this holistic way increases efficiency and often reduces pain. 
💙 But we’ll also use other movement modalities if the moment calls for it…a Vinyasa, some Franklin Method, a fascial flow, somatic techniques and breathing exercises, rehab protocols, an animal flow sequence and so on. 
We’re not limited by a single discipline, the rules of exercise science or even ideal alignment of the body…
💙 A positive movement experience is whatever you need it to be on the day. We’ll bring your mind and body together and meet you where you’re at.

I’m Rachael, the main woman behind Room For Moveme I’m Rachael, the main woman behind Room For Movement Pilates Studio and I suppose this is a bit of a reintroduction to me and the business I’ve built. I’m a nature lover, traveller, deep thinker and a lover of all things human movement. I try to bring a strong moral compass, care and kindness into my business at every turn, and as I reflect on a decade in business here’s a little bit about how I got this business going… 

In 2015, I didn’t have a business plan. I didn’t have a financial strategy, and I’d never even heard of a profit and loss. I was just a young woman who had found a form of therapy in Pilates for my mind, body, and spirit—and I wanted to share that with others. I never manifested, planned, or envisioned that it would grow into what it’s become. But I did commit myself to showing up to teach the work, to learning and growing in my field, and it grew and grew.

Eventually my inability to say “no” led to burnout, mental health challenges, and financial woes post pandemic. As it turns out, building a business, on intuition only, with no plans and no experience is a path fraught with challenges: I can’t (and won’t) romanticise the buckets and buckets of resilience and determination it’s taken to make this business last.

But through every season- I’ve tried to run Room for Movement from my heart—mostly because I don’t know how else to do it. (Wonder what magic will happen in the next few years when we mix all that heart with a bit more planning and an understanding of my neurodiversity!)

✨ If Pilates with us is on your radar it might be nice to know that your classes won’t ever feel transactional- I’m personally invested in positive movement experiences for everyone who comes through our door.
