Matwork PILATES

Pilates is a low impact mind-body workout consisting of conditioning exercises that strengthen your whole body with control, with particular emphasis on moving from the core. Similar to yoga, it also works on flexibility and balance. The mindful nature of Pilates promotes good body awareness and postural alignment which leaves you feeling refreshed and energised.

I teach modified Pilates exercises pioneered by the APPI - Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute - which are adapted from the original Joseph Pilates series. This adapted form of traditional Pilates exercise is suitable and beneficial for almost everyone, including those of you who wish to improve your general well being, enhance sports performance or optimise your recovery from injury.

We will utilise a range of small equipment such as the Pilates circle, small ball and resistance bands to modify the exercises – these are great if you like a challenge!

    Definitely recommend Diane’s Pilates classes, I like that the classes are small so you get good attention and assistance making sure you are in the right position. The class has been so helpful towards my running, strength and posture. Diane as a teacher is fantastic; she is very approachable and knowledgeable.

    Diane is a fantastic teacher. There’s nothing like a 1:1 session if you’re looking for more in depth, personalised help. Her Physio knowledge combined with her really supportive and encouraging approach have made for a really positive experience. Can’t rate Diane highly enough.

    I started attending Diane’s Pilates class as part of my rehab from a running-related injury, but continue to see the benefits in injury prevention and overall well-being. The classes are small, allowing individual attention to improve postures and optimise each exercise. I feel confident in Diane’s knowledge and expertise. The classes are varied and interesting - but above all, good fun!
