On 19 June 2025, the PHI 51/25 Private Health Insurance Legislation Amendment Rules (No. 5) 2025 were issued, which removed the constraints on private health funds paying rebates for Pilates.
Whilst the limitation is being lifted from July 1, it is likely to be at least a few months before this is made available for our clients. We are deep in discussion with the health fund associations and some of the private health funds as to what exactly they will be covering. We will be providing regular updates on progress.

With knowledge comes wisdom.
Knowledge is power - so it’s always good to be informed of what might be coming down the track for you.

We help our clients to understand this stage so they can support themselves to have a positive experience as they transition perimenopause & thrive.

In essence, flow turns a collection of exercises into a cohesive, integrated practice, making Pilates not just about building strength or flexibility, but about moving through life with more control, grace, and ease.

Pilates, a mind body soul practice supports the parasympathetic & sympathetic nervous system. Allowing our body to strengthen neural connections as well as the cellular communication.

Often it’s the healing that we cannot see that delivers the most positive results.

Another resason to ❤️ pilates.

A gentle 15 minute practice can help reduce stress & anxiety by activating your parasympathetic nervous system - rest & digest. This can help lower your cortisol levels and calming the mind.

🙌🙌 Lower stress levels make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.😴
