Sharpening up my Reformer Pilates skills with Tanya Thompson | Become a Fearless Instructor ‘s Reformer Workshop ❤️ 💛 💙

“So, you already teach Reformer Pilates… why attend a workshop?” 💭

👉🏼 Because being an experienced instructor doesn’t mean you stop learning.

Pilates is a practice of continual refinement. There is always another way to understand a movement, improve a cue, challenge a client, or see an exercise from a different perspective.

Workshops give me the opportunity to step out of my usual teaching environment, learn from another experienced teacher, revisit the fundamentals and discover new ideas that I can bring back into my own classes.

For me, continuing education isn’t about questioning what I already know. It’s about sharpening my skills, expanding my knowledge and becoming an even better teacher for my clients.

And honestly… I love being a student too. 🤍

You can never know too much when it comes to Pilates.

Not everyone moves like this professional ballerina... and that’s exactly the point. ✨ 🩰

My client’s control, precision and grace are incredible, and Pilates plays a huge role in supporting her strength, balance and body awareness.

But here’s the best part... Reformer Pilates is for EVERY body. 🤍

You don’t need to be flexible.
You don’t need to be strong.
You don’t need any experience.
You simply need to start.

Pilates meets you where you are and helps you become stronger, more mobile, more balanced and more confident with every session.

Whether you’re a dancer, an athlete, recovering from injury, or you’ve never exercised before—there’s a place for you on the reformer.

Bringing the Reformer experience home. ✨

One of my online Reformer clients has officially joined our small group Reformer classes! 🙌

Before joining the group, we spent time in a few one-on-one sessions getting comfortable with the equipment, learning how to set it up correctly, understanding the springs, and building confidence with the movements.

Because my Reformer classes are intentionally kept small and intimate, I’m able to give individual attention to every client—whether you’re in the studio or joining me online.

That means I can monitor technique, provide corrections, and ensure everyone gets the most out of their session.

Distance doesn’t have to stop you from experiencing the incredible benefits of Reformer Pilates. If you have access to a reformer at home and are looking for expert guidance in a supportive, personalised environment, I’d love to welcome you.

✋ Forget the phrase, “Summer bodies are made in winter.” ❌

I’m not here for that. 👎🏼

Pilates isn’t seasonal. ❄️ 🌞 🍁 🌷

It isn’t something you only do to fit into a swimsuit. It’s something you do because YOUR body deserves to feel strong, capable and supported every single day of the year.

As someone who has struggled with eating disorders and body image, I know what it feels like to believe your worth is tied to how you look.

👏 That’s why my studio is different.

✔️ Yes, we’ll build strength.
✔️ Yes, you’ll improve your posture, mobility and tone.

But more importantly, we’ll build a healthier relationship with your body. 💪

For me, a “summer body” isn’t about having the perfect physique.

🩵It’s about feeling confident.
❤️Moving without pain.
💚Trusting your body.
🩷Feeling mentally stronger.
🧡Showing up for yourself—365 days a year.

✨ What does a summer body mean to YOU?

If you’re looking for a Pilates community that celebrates health over perfection, I’d love to welcome you. 🤍

✨ Reformer Pilates is so much more than just a workout. ✨

Sometimes, the most powerful session is one focused on stretching, mobility, and helping your body move the way it was designed to.

A Reformer stretch session can help you:

🤍 Improve flexibility and joint mobility
🤍 Release tight muscles and built-up tension
🤍 Improve posture and alignment
🤍 Reduce stiffness from sitting at a desk all day
🤍 Increase body awareness and balance
🤍 Leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and energised

The beauty of the Reformer is that the springs provide both support and gentle resistance, allowing you to stretch deeper with greater control—making it suitable for all fitness levels.

With 14 years of Pilates teaching experience, I offer the only boutique Pilates studio in Potchefstroom with small, intimate Reformer group classes and private one-on-one sessions.

This means you’ll receive personalised attention in every class, helping you move safely, build strength, improve mobility, and achieve real results.

🏃Movement is a privilege. Not your right.

On the 7th of June, and I, took on the 🧊 Cold Courage Challenge 🧊 in honour of my late father who lost his life to Motor Neurone Disease in 2024.

Motor Neurone Disease is an incurable and devastating disease where one’s Neurones slowly die and rob you from daily functions as speech, swallowing and breathing.

❄️The Cold Courage Challenge ❄️ challenges you to sit for 30 seconds in an ice bath to remember and celebrate all of our MND heroes across South Africa 🇿🇦 and the globe. 🌍

As my father and I share a 🥳 on the 7th, we sat for the 4️⃣ 2️⃣ seconds to celebrate my 42nd birthday.
