New Booking System

Great news! We are updating to a new software program. Eventually you will

be able to view your scheduled appointments, make payments and catch a last

minute class.

We are changing to 5 clients per hour. Studio will start at 6.30am Monday to

Friday morning, 7am on a Saturday and 4 – 8pm Monday – Thursday evenings.

Please email Reception at info@pilatescentremosman.com.au with your

preferred permanent studio time or alternatively fill in your name and

preferred times on the form at Reception. We plan to keep all clients at or

as close to their preferred times. Please be patient with us during this

time as we are still learning and we aim to make a smooth transition for everyone.

New Prices

New Payment Packages

When you next purchase your block you have the option of choosing a block packagewhere you receive a reassessment at a 25% discount. (see 2009-2010 prices)

As our bodies are constantly changing, it is important to keep checking in and updating your programs to ensure you get the most out of your Pilates. It is also a great chance to address issues that you don’t get the chance to do in the studio or an allegro class.

Alternatively you may choose to experience a Gyrotonic Session with Anna or

James.

Water Bottles

Even though we probably don’t feel like drinking a lot of water at this time of year it is still very important to keep hydrated.

Maybe mention how heating dehydrates the body. We still have our Nikken

waterbottles in stock which are food grade standard and do not make your

water toxic.   Keep it with you and aim to drink the whole bottle over the day.

650ml – $19.95, 1L – $24.95

The studio will be open public holidays but at a reduced schedule and according to demand.  The next public holiday is Labour Day on Mon 4th Oct, please let reception know   ahead of time.

Your Health

A great and easy way to improve your health today is to fill a bottle of water and keep it with you all day as a constant reminder to drink more water.

Our body is made of 70 % water.  Many people don’t drink enough..  Symptoms of  dehydration are fatigue and reduced concentration.  The research recommends 2 litres of water a day.

Start with being aware of how much you are drinking, then start trying to drink just a little more water each day.

Drinking plenty of water is an obvious boost to our bodies health.    Go fill up your bottle now.

We are selling 650ml and 1 litre bottles which are temperature resistant, USFDA food grade standard and microwave and dishwasher safe.  Basically your not drinking what your bottle is made up of.

Home Exercises

Hands and feet need exercising too.  Just as our core helps control and determine what our limbs are doing, so too, do our extremities affect our  trunk.  We are unaware of how tightness builds in our hands and feet that put pressure on the freedom of movement in the shoulders and hips respectively.

A simple way to bring some flexibility and strength into the feet are:

– Seeing if you can pick up small objects with your feet eg. Pencil or a tissue.  You may find your foot cramps very quickly or it is not even flexible enough to do it.

– Roll a tennis ball or golf ball under your foot.  Put some of your body weight into it and you stretch out your foot’s deep muscle/fascia.  At least a minute rolling on each foot is beneficial.
