What is the difference between Mat Pilates and Pilates Balance?

Mat Pilates
Group mat Pilates general conditioning class. Designed to deepen core connection, strengthen and tone, improve posture and release tension. Exercises are modified to suit the individual. Different props are used each week to add challenge and variety to your workout. This is a great class to build a solid foundation in Pilates. Participants must be able to get up and down independently from the floor.

Pilates Balance
Pilates Balance class provides a safe and supportive space where you can start to improve your balance from the very first class. This class incorporates static and dynamic functional balance moves, falls prevention exercises, agility, Pilates foundational mat sequences and timeless tai chi moves. A variety of props are used to stimulate your balance, switch on your deep core, strengthen and tone, and provide a uniquely challenging and fun workout. Participants must be able to get up and down independently from the floor.

We’d like to let you know that our website and online bookings will be temporarily unavailable this weekend as we transition to a new booking system.

We apologise in advance for any temporary glitches in communications and bookings over the next few weeks while we make the switch, and we appreciate your patience during this time.

We’re pleased to confirm that the new studio will be opening as planned on March 2nd.

We’ll share further details next week on how to book classes and manage payments. If you have already reserved classes, we will be in touch over the coming week.

If you’ve been into the clinic recently, you may have seen or heard some work happening in the empty unit next door. We've been dreaming up this space for a while now and the cat’s officially out of the bag - we are going to have a brand-new studio to share more Pilates and exercise groups with you all!

It took us just one year to outgrow our current space, and we’re so excited to soon offer a wider range of classes and more class times. The new schedule will start at the beginning of March, and bookings will open in late February! Please call the clinic to reserve a class.

With the addition of more classes, we’ll also be transitioning to a new booking system. We’re confident this will make scheduling and keeping track of payments easier for everyone.

We apologise in advance for any temporary glitches in communications and bookings over the next month or so while we make the switch, and we appreciate your patience during this time. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Let us introduce you to Sarah...

Sarah's initial Pilates training was completed at the University of Technology Sydney in 2004. The profound impact it had on her own body and mind inspired a deeper exploration of the method, leading to certification as a Studio and Mat Practitioner with Polestar Pilates International in 2007.

Witnessing the inclusivity and adaptability of the Pilates Method for people of all ages and abilities encouraged further study. She completed a Certificate IV in Pilates Instruction with Pilates International in 2008, followed by a Certificate III in Fitness in 2010, as Pilates continued to gain momentum in the broader fitness world.

Her deep curiosity about human movement also led her to explore Iyengar yoga, the Alexander Technique, and the Feldenkrais Method—all of which continue to influence how she teaches and supports others on their movement journeys.

Pilates became especially meaningful during her two pregnancies, offering a reliable and supportive practice that aided a natural recovery after childbirth. This experience inspired further training with the Center for Women’s Fitness in the USA, where she became a certified pre- and post-natal instructor.

She teaches Contemporary Pilates that is adaptable, inclusive, and centred around the whole person. Her work is informed by current research into healthy ageing, functional fitness, and falls prevention. She has also undertaken additional training in Parkinson’s, dementia, and osteoporosis.

Outside the studio, she enjoys yoga, tai chi, jiu jitsu, music, theatre, and anthropology—and loves spending time with her husband, children, and their six lively pets.

Welcome Sarah, we are so happy to have you another clinic!

What is an Exercise Physiologist and how do they differ from a Physiotherapist?

Accredited Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified allied health professionals who specialise in prescribing safe and effective exercise tailored to your individual needs. They have advanced training in how the body responds to exercise in the presence of injury, chronic illness, or disability. Their work is grounded in medical science and evidence-based practice.

The treatment approach of Exercise Physiologists and Physio’s can often overlap. Both are allied health professionals who have done a minimum of 4 years’ study at university, and both use evidence-based movement and exercise interventions as part of their treatment.

Physiotherapists can assess and diagnose a range of conditions and may work with musculoskeletal problems in the acute phase. Exercise physiologists can work together with a physiotherapist to receive diagnosis and build on the acute exercise plan and progression, not only considering the isolated injury or condition but the holistic and functional needs of the client. Exercise physiologists may also work with chronic disease prevention and management, pain management, and weight management.

In summary, your physio and exercise physiologist are both equally trained to be able to help you with exercise-based treatment for your medical condition. Your physio will assist in providing diagnosis and management of any acute injuries and needs. Your exercise physiologist can then assist in building on your exercise program and treatment to help you regain full function and be able to manage your daily activities over the long term, although some of these responsibilities will cross over. Your physio and exercise physiologist will work closely together on your treatment.

If you're interested in learning how Exercise Physiology can support your health, recovery and training goals please don't hesitate to reach out. We are happy to discuss how Exercise Physiology can benefit you.

Kathy Balson – Exercise Physiologist

Kathy has worked as an Exercise Physiologist for over 20 years, having completed her qualifications in 2002. Since then, she has continued to build on her expertise with a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology, a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, and most recently, a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Health Medicine from UNSW.

Her career has spanned a diverse range of settings, including private practice, hospitals, industrial health, mobile services, and community-based care. She has extensive experience in women’s health, disability, and aged care, and has supported clients across all stages of life.

Over time, she has been consistently drawn to working with women. Even when supporting clients with various health conditions, she has observed that women’s health often plays a central role in overall wellbeing. Now, as she navigates the menopausal years herself, she brings a deeper, lived understanding of the unique challenges women face during midlife. This perspective has further strengthened her passion for helping women enhance their health, function, and quality of life during this transformative stage.

She also enjoys working with women at every life stage — including adolescence, pregnancy, postpartum, and into older age — always with a focus on evidence-based, compassionate care.

Based in the Blue Mountains for over 20 years, she has raised two children in this vibrant community and feels privileged to support local women to feel strong, healthy, and confident in their bodies.

Kathy's first day at the clinic will be Friday 25th July. Welcome Kathy, we can't wait for you to join us! .community.exphysiology
