Movementality Pilates

Today, two years ago, we opened Movementality in Perth, here’s what we’ve learned so far...

🙌 Realestatecommercial.com isn’t the only place to find properties, sometimes you can find something perfect with an old school drive by.

🧁 Never underestimate the power of a good home baked brownie at an open day.

💫 Plans change, things fall through, but if you stay true to your vision, you can achieve what you set out to.

🙅‍♀️ It’s ok to set boundaries on how much you work. it’s ok to not be open every night of the week so you can be with your family. People understand and make it work.

💕 The relationship matters more than any intervention. Rapport builds trust = less flare ups.

🫁 Community breathes life into small business.

💻 AI will never replace good old fashioned human connection.

🌈 Small children and Pilates studios can be a great mix.

👌 Trust the process, it might take a while for the results of your hard work to come to fruition, but they will, and it will feel fantastic.

🥳 Here’s to many more birthdays doing what we love with people we love - Happy 9th Birthday to us.

Some ideas as to why more tracking might be equating to less connection - to ourselves and through ourselves to others.

They’ll even go as far as to say “my watch tells me…” they are reporting on data from their devices, not actually connecting to what’s happening within.

When we don’t know how we feel within, or how to find out how we feel, we can’t authentically relate to the world around us.

Read that again.

Have you actually felt into your body and asked yourself how you are feeling today? Can you notice the sensation, the emotion, the information and messaging your body is giving you about how you are showing up?

Take a breath, check in, notice what’s happening. How you are in your body, so too you are in the world.

I’m a somatic movement therapist and I’m building a new offering based on this. If you want support and practical tools for connecting to your body and coming home to yourself, so you can show up better in your world. Comment HOME and I’ll send you some more information ❤️

TEACHING TEACHERS >>>

Absolutely loved having the gorgeous Ella Jane for a session a few weeks back. She was hungry for knowledge and had such beautiful control over her practice that I could give her one cue and see huge change, immediately. With her permission I wanted to post this amazing “spot the difference” in real time to see if people can pick up what shifts between the two videos and guess what cue I might have given her to get such a change to her form and alignment from video 1 > video 2 🤔

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT BUNIONS >>>
An expose by Movementality Pilates

Everything you’ve been told about bunions is incomplete, and honestly... it’s kept a lot of people unnecessarily resigned to something that is actually changeable.

Bunions are not extra bone growth, they are not a deformity you were dealt and have to live with, and although they have a genetic component, this is a susceptibility to them, not the reason you have them.

The brutal truth? Bunions are shaped largely by environment; eg: the shoes you wear, your overall foot strength, your gait and how you distribute your weight and transfer load over time.

What makes bunions worse? The footwear industry has sold us on narrow toe boxes, elevated heels and over cushioned soles which have made our feet weak and lazy. These shoes squish our feet into shapes they were not designed to hold.

But here’s the good news. With smarter footwear choices, alignment tools and some dedicated foot and whole-body conditioning work, you can absolutely improve your foot function and give those joints a genuine chance to realign.

It’s not overnight. It’s not magic. But it is possible. That’s something we think everyone with bunions deserves to know. Your feet have been patient with you. It’s time to return the favour.
