Movement Prep & Core Connection
Every class begins with a focus on breathing mechanics and connecting to your deep core, inspired by the principles of Pilates. We prepare the body for the session with dynamic mobility and activation work.
This class was developed by our founder, Riona, to support clients at a deeper level than is possible in a one-on-one clinic setting. It was born from the desire to coach the core principles that underpin our clinical work: enhancing your posture, strength, performance, and longevity.
By integrating Pilates, Functional Strength, Dynamic Movement, and Breathing Mechanics, our group training offers a fresh perspective for people who want to understand their body and exercise in a more balanced, beneficial way.
Please Note: This class is designed for those who are already active or exercise regularly. It is not suited to anyone with poor health, very low fitness levels, or significant movement limitations.
This class is for you if: You are already active or exercise regularly and want to enhance your current routine. You want to gain a deeper understanding of posture, movement, and core connection. You are recovering from an injury (and have been cleared for exercise) and want to bridge the gap back to full performance. You value expert coaching in a friendly, supportive, and small group setting. You are interested in building long-term strength and movement longevity.
It’s an intelligent fusion of both. We use Pilates principles to teach deep core connection and control, which we then apply to functional strength training with weights to build real-world resilience and performance in a group setting.
Training barefoot improves the sensory feedback from your feet to your brain, enhances stability, and strengthens the small muscles in your feet, which form the foundation of all your movement.
This particular class is designed for those with an existing base of fitness. If you are a complete beginner, we recommend starting with a one-on-one Initial Consultation so we can better guide your entry into exercise.
