Moving Spirit

Moving Spirit How You Move Matters. Passion. Purpose. Performance. What are you passionate about? What brings you joy, gets you up in the morning and stirs a fire in your heart?

The stuff that brings you alive is the very best stuff of life. Who wouldn't want more of it? And that's what Moving Spirit is about. We want to support you in creating your best moving body so that you can engage the world with your passion and live life LARGE! Moving Spirit is dedicated to the dynamic exploration of the heart, soul and science of movement. Here, fitness meets flow and creativity

and physicality find their true home in the body. Under the direction of Susannah Steers, Moving Spirit's programs evolve from an understanding that fluid, balanced movement comes from awareness and attention to the whole body and its fluid web of inter-connected systems. The Moving Spirit programs engage the whole body and involve a unique integration of leading edge science, holistic health practices, and creative sensibilities. We go beyond fitness and classical techniques to support movement enthusiasts and professionals in finding an embodied experience - creating highly personal, lasting and often transformative results. Our training practices promote a discovery of inner resources, ignite physical vitality and inspire a dedication to self-care and self-expression through movement.

Upside down, but very much in control.

A reminder that the Pilates studio is not always calm breathing and elegant leg circles. Sometimes it is strong shoulders, a steady centre, and a surprisingly satisfying view of the ceiling.

Control in every single repetition!

Footwork on the reformer may look smooth and simple, but finding true stability while moving with length takes deep awareness and continuous connection.

It is not about rushing the movement. It is about creating efficiency, joint health, and balance that translates directly into your everyday life.

Save this for your next studio session inspiration, and join us in the studio soon.

Creativity in Pilates can mean more than curiosity or play in the moment - it’s what happens next.

During class we notice. We gather information from the body, the breath, the springs, the task, and the experience of moving. Then we make a choice.

Maybe that means changing the starting point, adjusting the load, slowing the pace, or exploring a completely different pathway.

A familiar exercise doesn’t have to be something we simply repeat. It can become a creative problem-solving process when we shift the question from “What should this look like?” to “What might be most supportive and useful here?”

This September, we’re exploring creativity as a capacity to respond with attention, clarity, and care - whether you’re moving for yourself or guiding someone else.

Where could you get creative in your Pilates practice this month?

This client is not here to “take it easy.” She is here to stay capable.

No drama. No gold stars “the best bridge.”
Just intelligent, consistent work that keeps supporting the things she loves to do beyond the studio.

Because a strong, mobile, confident body is not built in one heroic workout. It is built by showing up, paying attention, and practicing the fundamentals over and over again.

This is what strength for life looks like. Bravo B! 🤗

In his book, “Return to Life Through Contrology,” Joseph Pilates famously said “Our interpretation of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind, fully capable of naturally, easily and satisfactorily performing our many varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.”

I think his definition of fitness is a little narrow, and it excludes large swaths of the population,

But I think there IS something to developing the whole person (body, mind and spirit) in whatever ways are available to us so we can participate in our lives as fully as possible.

Who are you? What is important to you? And how can we help support you in the direction of your goals?

Movement is the game, Pilates is the name.
When you’re ready, we’re here for you. 🤗

❓❓You've got questions ... we've got the answers!!!

Mat Pilates is more than “Pilates without the equipment.” It's a powerful return to the foundations of the method: breath, alignment, control, mobility, and strength.

Whether you are new, returning after time away, or looking to deepen your existing Pilates practice, the mat meets you where you are - and grows with you.

No complicated setup. No perfect starting point. Just your body, your breath, and a little space to move.

What do you love most about Mat Pilates?

P.S. - We have three different mat class offerings this Fall, and registration is now open. Explore Moving Spirit on the mat via the link in our bio or over on our 'Mat Series & Events' page at movingspirit.ca. We'd love to see you!
