Hey !! ��Our next two hour workshop is coming up in a month…. Maggie Macgill.

TOPIC: Work those muscles! Engaging our muscles for optimal performance without excessive tension and stress.

In this workshop we take a closer look at muscle tissue and explore ways to contract muscles to create strength and reduce tension. Starting with the experiential anatomy of muscle tissue We will work with imagery and cues that speak specifically to the movement of the muscle cells and fibres. This process will support you to access efficient and powerful muscle contractions. We will then apply this depth of understanding to specific muscles to integrate and balance the muscular system as a whole. On completion of this workshop you will have a clear understanding of muscle contraction and new teaching skills that will enable you to work with your clients more effectively and efficiently.

WHEN: Friday 5 June 2:30pm AEST��

WHERE: The Movement Refinery Pilates and Wellbeing

📖UNIVERSITY PLACEMENT UPDATE 🔔

I have just received some exciting news, I will be spending five weeks at one of Australia’s pioneering forces in holistic oncology care with 🥁 exercise!

This is a huge opportunity and I have a lot to learn, but I am ready! My sincere goal is to be able to support our clients and neighbours through all facets of life and in addition to my Pilates toolkit, the skills gained from this brief but potent placement will deliver benefits to us all at TMR.

There will be some schedule adjustments and yes, the dark circles under my eyes will soon return… I’ll be in touch with those impacted ASAP.

Bubbling with excitement… definitely need some new highlighters!

We miss you. We love you. It’s not the same without you but our journey earthside was complete.

Two years have flown by and there’s not a day that I know a chat, stroll and cuddle wouldn’t enrich us all. I’ve learnt so much about you Dexter since you passed and I wish I was more patient in those last couple of years and really soaked it all up.

This photo of glossy and excited young Dexter was sent to me by glorious Kirsten while Maggie does her thing elsewhere… two friends both greedy for attention, on their own terms! ❤️❤️

Taking aesthetics and judgement out of organised exercise isn’t optional—it’s overdue.

Our industry can do better.

We need stronger, more credible voices to cut through the “skinnytok” noise that reinforces harmful bias and exclusion. And beyond screaming for attention and participating in cancel culture, we must actively build spaces where people in bodies of all sizes feel respected, supported, and safe to move.

That’s why I created this workshop for Pilates and exercise professionals as part of my 2026 mentorship programme. Given the resurgence of harmful messaging online, I’m releasing it free.

Inside: practical frameworks, real-world application, and examples of studios already leading this change—plus resources to keep learning.

If you want the slides, comment or DM me. Head to our stories for the link or go straight to the YouTube channel.

Let’s build an industry that does better—on purpose.
