TMR Academy training and tours

Hey ! ��Our next two hour workshop is coming up in a month…. Maggie Macgill.

TOPIC: Work those muscles! Engaging our muscles for optimal performance without excessive tension and stress.

In this workshop we take a closer look at muscle tissue and explore ways to contract muscles to create strength and reduce tension. Starting with the experiential anatomy of muscle tissue We will work with imagery and cues that speak specifically to the movement of the muscle cells and fibres. This process will support you to access efficient and powerful muscle contractions. We will then apply this depth of understanding to specific muscles to integrate and balance the muscular system as a whole. On completion of this workshop you will have a clear understanding of muscle contraction and new teaching skills that will enable you to work with your clients more effectively and efficiently.

Good morning!

Our next workshop is coming up...

THE MISSING MODULE
Live with Lucia Farina (London)
Friday 6 March · 7pm AEST · Zoom

You learned the exercises…but no one really taught you how to read the room. Many Pilates teachers quietly feel the same things — moments of self-doubt, uncertainty with certain clients, or the sense that everyone else seems more confident. At the same time, the best instructors know there’s always another level to grow into. This masterclass bridges that gap.

Lucia Farina brings decades of industry insight to reveal the missing layer of teacher training — the human side of teaching that transforms good instructors into exceptional ones.

In this practical, down-to-earth session you’ll learn how to:
See beyond choreography and read what’s really happening in the room
Build rapport quickly and teach with calm authority
Navigate difficult clients, colleagues, and studio dynamics
Manage and regulate your own nervous system under pressure
Understand what studio owners truly value in standout teachers

Because the teachers who stand out aren’t just technically skilled — they understand people, energy, and connection and that’s what studio owners need.

Investment: $140 AUD

Sadly, this post is to advise you that the Movement Science Made Simple and Heritage Training events have been cancelled. We were unable to sell more than a few tickets in Sydney despite my posts, emails, phone calls and marketing activations … and with the rising US dollar, this would have had a catastrophic impact on my studio and future operations. I have been working hard to make these events a success and am devastated that it has come to this. I am buoyed by our recent successes with the three Virtual Pilates Summits in 2020 and our tours of Benjamin Degenhardt in 2019 and 2020.

All ticket holders have been personally contacted and refunds are being made available as soon as we receive bank details to process.

I wholeheartedly remain a true fan of Cara and Jeremy and direct you to their website https://movementsciencemadesimple.com which has some great learning opportunities and a calendar of live events to take part in.

I’d like to thank the very supportive Jo Carey and Anne-Maree Jones from The Movement Collective in Sydney who were excited to host the session and were extremely kind colleagues throughout this journey.

For a micro-business owner like me, these events are a huge amount of work and the joy I have is bringing colleagues together for a brilliant learning opportunity … feeling the buzz in the room and knowing that all of our clients benefit from the interactions.

My apologies for the change in circumstances, this was a very difficult decision.
