Movementality Pilates offers online and in-studio sessions from their Mount Lawley based studio.

With a combined teaching experience of over 22 years, Ash and Rob have the knowledge and ability to help anyone looking to move and feel differently. Ash and Rob have brought together their experiences and passions to develop their Pilates studio and movement education hub, Movementality. Founded in Melbourne in 2017, it is built on the solid foundations of Balance & Control Pilates, established in Richmond in 2004. After 7 highly succesful years in Melbourne, Rob and Ash decided to move to Perth to be closer to family. Within a couple months, Movementality was reborn in their beautiful Beaufort St space where sessions continue to run today both in-person and online.

WRISTS IN PILATES >>>

When people start progressing their Pilates practice it is a common occurrence that they might start to complain of wrist discomfort or pain.

There are a combination of factors at play here. Yes it’s likely wrists need strengthening as we tend to not load them up much in every day life but also alignment and shoulder strengthening will play a role, as will the way the hands are positioned on the different apparatus.

The bottom line, there are a lot of work arounds and ways to build up wrist strength and endurance along the way, so that they don’t become a road block to moving into some of the more challenging exercises.

Are you struggling with wrist discomfort or pain? Chat to Ash or Rob about it in your sessions so that together you can make a plan moving forward 🙌

FIXED VS GROWTH MINDSET — WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Psychologist Carol Dweck coined these terms to describe how we relate to learning and challenge.

A fixed mindset says: “I’m just not good at this.”
A growth mindset says: “I’m not good at this… yet.”

It’s a small shift in language, but a huge shift in possibility.
In the studio, we see it all the time - when people stop worrying about being ‘good’ and start focusing on showing up, trying again, learning something new. That’s when things start to change.

Where might a fixed mindset be holding you back right now? And what would change if you let it soften?

Postpartum Body Changes: Why You Feel Wider & How Pilates Can Help

After having a baby, many women notice that their body feels wider—especially around their ribs and pelvis. This isn’t your imagination; it’s a natural part of postpartum recovery. During pregnancy, your ribcage expands and flares to make space for your growing baby, and the hormone relaxin allows your pelvis to widen in preparation for birth. These structural shifts don’t just ‘snap back’ overnight, and in some cases, they may remain if not properly addressed through movement.

Specific Pilates exercises can help you address these changes and having a personalised program is essential. For example: Targeted breathwork will help to restore diaphragm function, which directly impacts your core and pelvic floor. Rib release and massage is another key player in releasing tension so that the ribcage can resettle instead of remaining in the “post partum flare” and shoulder mobility and range feeds into this too. In my experience all these factors contribute to feeling wider in your ribcage and addressing them will help to reorganise your ribs back to where they once were.

The pelvis is a bit of a different story. Although you cannot physically make your pelvis narrower after childbirth in the sense of structurally changing your bone width, you can improve pelvic alignment, stability, and muscle engagement to feel more supported and reduce that “wider” sensation.

Focusing on pelvic floor and deep core engagement as well as training your glutes and deep hip muscles will help improve alignment, stability and function which will make you feel stronger and more connected in and around your pelvis.

The most important thing is working with someone you trust who is highly trained in understanding pregnancy and post partum recovery and how to rebuild those foundations in your body, so that you FEEL the difference.

☀️ Summer mornings in Perth ☀️

We’ve opted for a morning focused timetable at our Mount Lawley studio for a number of reasons;

☀️ Perth people seem to like to get up earlier than Melbourne people. It’s definitely a morning focused city with no daylight saving, meaning it’s light in summer before 5am.

☀️ It’s so damn hot! This week’s temperatures have been reaching 40 degress before 11am and one day last week it was still 40 a 5pm! Getting your Pilates in early means you avoid the heat and can relax for the rest of the day.

☀️ Morning classes appeal to those who have work commitments and feel too tired to exercise after a long day. Even if you are retired or semi retired starting off your morning with a Pilates class can appeal if you like structure to your day.

☀️ People often feel more refreshed in the morning, with more mental clarity and energy. A Pilates session early in the day can set the tone for improving focus, energy levels, and mood for the rest of the day.

☀️ Finally mornings are usually better for families. When you have a routine and commitments at home it can be hard to get out in the afternoons or evenings, especially with little kids. Morning classes allow for parents to come in and spend some time on them (and they also allow for us to be home with our kiddies in the evenings which we believe is important, it’s a win/win).

We love our mornings in the studio, but we also do Tuesday afternoon/evenings and Saturday to cater for thise who just can’t make mornings work. If you are keen but haven’t found a time that suits you, get in touch! We’ll also be adding more class times to the schedule mid year with Ash returning from maternity leave, including an extra evening so stay tuned. 😎

Courage is the heart of every Pilates journey at Movementality. It’s about more than just showing up—it’s about embracing the moments of challenge, growth, and discovery. Whether it’s trying a new exercise, reconnecting with your body after injury, or simply committing to your well-being, courage is what propels you forward. It’s the strength to trust in your ability, even when self-doubt whispers otherwise, and to take that leap into the unknown with faith in your progress. It’s through courage that change begins.

When our clients feel accomplished in their movement—whether that’s mastering a challenging exercise, regaining mobility, or just feeling stronger—they discover something far greater: a newfound confidence that radiates into every aspect of their lives. Courage isn’t just about the big leaps; it’s also in the small, consistent steps toward a healthier, more empowered you. We’re here to celebrate your wins and encourage you to fly higher than you thought possible. 🖤

Commitment is our third pillar at Movementality. Commitment is about consistency and accountability.
In our 8 years experience running our Melbourne studio we always saw that those clients who came consistently were the ones who saw results. Pilates is a long game and an investment for your future, it takes time to learn and build on the repertoire and regular commitment is necessary to see change.

In saying that, we have two young kids so we absolutely know that life gets in the way sometimes and you won’t make every session. That’s why we’ve created a membership model that allows you to make up sessions within the month if you can’t make it one week because of something unexpected. We want to make sure you get the most out of your membership and can use every session you pay for. That’s our commitment to you. 💫

Happy New Year! 🥳🥳🥳

Have you been thinking about starting Pilates for a while but haven’t taken the plunge? Perth is full of Reformer Pilates studios but when we moved over in June last year we wanted to bring our expertise from 8 years owning our Pilates studio in Melbourne and bring you something different.

At Movementality we pride ourselves on providing an exceptional Pilates experience to people who want a more personalised focus.

We offer tailor-made private and semi private (1:4) sessions on the full Pilates apparatus and we put a strong focus on client education.

We believe when someone understands their ‘how’ and ‘why’ in movement, they are able to take ownership over their own body and be empowered by its capacity for movement.

We are passionate about hands on cueing and supporting the client with how things can “feel” because we know this can be what changes somebody’s experience with movement and helps them to become more embodied.

Curious to learn more? Comment Yes & we’ll contact you for a free chat to discuss what you are looking for and help you get started with your wellness journey in 2025. 🙌
