Unwind Pilates Studio

Unwind Pilates Studio Home Pilates studio - Whitebridge. Private, duet and small group studio pilates, Online mat classes She has not stopped doing pilates since that day.

Laura first discovered Pilates mat classes in 2010 while working as an industrial chemist. The first class she ever did left her feeling free from the pains of sitting all day, full of energy and focused for the whole afternoon. Mat classes lead to studio classes on all of the pilates equipment which lead to the desire to keep learning and teach others. She began her Diploma of Professional Pilate

s Instruction in 2013 and completed over 100 hours of observation, 200 hours of supervised teaching and many more hours of self-mastery. She graduated from the diploma in 2014 and has been teaching pilates ever since. During this time, Laura also met her now husband whilst working at Pfizer, relocated to Newcastle and started a family of her own. Her motherhood journey made her realise how amazing women are and it was after the birth of her first son that she decided to create a studio that would make all women feel strong from the inside out using the principles of Joe Pilates. When she’s not with the family or in the studio, you’ll find her in the garden watching her veggies grow, exploring the beautiful nature around her home or baking up a storm.

Merry Christmas.

It’s been a whirlwind year. Got back from our trip, started work full time within a week and then barrelled through the year just managing to my head above water.

Started a new part time job a week before Christmas and am finally feeling like there will be space for Unwind in some capacity in 2025. The studio might not open for a little while yet but I’ve got some ideas and thoughts on how to get you moving with me next year.

Now that Christmas is done, who’s finally finding some down time?

While I listen to this song for the 1000th time today, I just wanted to stop by and wish you all a merry Christmas. This year was absolutely epic. We’ve had lots of change in our lives since we got home. I’ve started a full time job that isn’t in Pilates. I’m missing it a lot but it’s what we need for now. I will hopefully be back in the new year with some semi regular things for you. I’m also aiming to be regularly in your inbox instead where I can actually provide more use than a 30 second video that will get saved and never actually watched again (am I right?)

Once again, Merry Christmas 🎄 from me xx

Merry Christmas Eve you bloody wonderful people. I promise to talk less about mum life and caravanning and more about pilates and post partum life in the new year!! I will be sharing ways to get you moving with kids around, keep you moving when something hurts and generally make you feel better with pilates.

Signing off for a few weeks to enjoy some more family time, pack up our house and get ourselves settled into the van. See you in January ###

Just a little update for 2023…..

I’ve been quiet on the gram because we’ve been busy. The studio had it’s last day yesterday and it still doesn’t feel real. My first priority has been to all of my dedicated clients to make sure they left the studio feeling wonderful and prepared to try somewhere new while I closed for the year.

I’ll be doing lots more pilates with all of my new found free time so expect more videos to be added to the online membership and more posts on here next year.

I’ll be taking a much welcomed break for the next four weeks while we set up the can, pack up the house and get this show on the road.

I’m still here!! Jet-lag was rough this week but clients back in the studio has made me so happy. I’ve got lots of half written posts and half recorded reels for you all but haven’t been nailing all the things. I’ll get to them and give you moves to try, thoughts to ponder and movement bites to relive the stress and tension of the every day.

Three quick take aways
- sometimes you just need to focus on stuff IRL for a while
- pilates will always be here even if you need to take a break when life gets busy
- if all else fails: take a pause, a deep breath, stack your spine and keep on keeping on.

World breastfeeding week 🤱

The theme this year is “Step up for breastfeeding - educate and support”

How you choose to nourish your baby is only your choice to make and there are usually many factors involved. If you experience any guilt surrounding your choice, please let go of it. It doesn’t serve you as a mother or a woman.

Some women choose not to breastfeed, some physically cannot and for a lot of women, bad or limited advice leads to a shorter than anticipated breastfeeding journey.

One thing that I know personally, is that often the road to breastfeeding can be really hard. Overcoming a tongue tied baby and an oversupply to go on to feed for 14 months is still my greatest achievement.

If I had not had the support I had, my experience would have been different. I was fortunate enough to see two different lactation consultants, a speech pathologist and a paediatric surgeon in the first 5 weeks to get me to a point where James could feed. I also had the ABA on speed dial.

So today, I’m sharing some amazing accounts to follow for breastfeeding help. Not because I want to guilt you if you didn’t breastfeed but because I want each mother to have the opportunity to breastfeed for as long as she wants to if she wants it.

Is finally open again! After gastro, a bout of haemorrhoids and then COVID I’ve felt completely smashed. I’m excited to get you all moving and feeling great this week and next before we head off to the UK for a family holiday.

Who’s keen for extra sessions? If you’re a client and want to squeeze in some more - let me know. Keen to start in the studio when I get home? Pop a 🙋‍♀️ in the comments and I’ll get all of the details to you for when I get back at the end of August.

Happy clients = happy Laura

I love making my beautiful clients feel good in their own bodies regardless of where they are in their pilates journey. Did you know that I have a library of mat pilates classes containing over 150 videos? Often when a studio client can’t make it, I’ll send them one to get some movement in from home.

A great way to boost your in-studio strength is by doing more pilates at home. Check out the link https://www.unwindpilatesstudio.com.au/unwind-pilates-online-membership to find out about the Online Membership that gives you access to over 150 pilates videos.

Flush the toilet and wash your hands

Of all the things I imagined I would say a lot before having kids, this was not one of them.

Motherhood - the true art of balancing

Balancing the kids/emotions
Balancing your emotions
Balancing your partner's emotions
Balancing the desire to spend time with them and time alone doing what you want to do
Balancing my desire to succeed at work with my desire to be a present parent

Balancing, always balancing.

Sometimes I feel like I’m nailing things, other times I feel like I’m failing and often I feel like I’m flailing.

Most of the time though, some breathing and a reality check remind me that I don’t actually need to be nailing everything. Just doing what I can, when I can. A good enough job is actually enough for everyone almost always.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, pop your phone down, close your eyes and just breathe for the next 30 seconds or so. If you get to the end and have time, keep going. Can you get to five minutes?
