💞 Pilates is a concept, a series of movements which concentrates on strengthening the body & mind with an emphasis on core strength. Pilates focuses on proper postural alignment, core strength, muscle balance & breath awareness.
💫But Pilates is more than just an exercise regime, it teaches you how to move your body, where to instigate the movement & which muscles to activate.
💪🏽Pilates is fantastic for your whole body, inside & out. 🧘🏽♀️

It’s natural to lose some bone density as we get older- especially for women & all our wonderful hormones. This makes bones (& joints) weaker & more prone to fractures or conditions like osteoporosis & arthritis. But that doesn’t mean weak bones are inevitable. With the right habits, you can keep them strong, stable, & ready for anything life brings.
💫Stand tall – Good posture & a strong core protect your spine & improve overall confidence.
🦩Protect your future – Strong balance reduces the risk of falls & injuries.
🦴Safe for Osteoporosis – Low-impact, controlled movements make Pilates suitable for those with bone density issues, to avoid strain. While being gentle on joints.
💞Pilates is a gentle yet powerful way to combine all of these benefits in one workout – building strength, improving balance, & supporting overall skeletal health at every stage of life.
Feel free to join us Online, in Pukekohe or Pokeno. We are a welcoming, friendly bunch.💚
Poor posture is often linked to back issues as well as headaches.🧠 🥴
Good posture can help alleviate back pain & headaches. 😇 🌬 As well as improve breathing & oxygenate your body more efficiently.
Pilates teaches you how to move your body more effectively & where from.🧘♀️ Stand tall, as you exhale, scoop belly button & pelvic floor gently in, slide shoulders down your back, are just a few of the cues used to help you IMPROVE your POSTURE.
✨CREATE SPACE in your spine & improve YOUR POSTURE. ✨
>>Try standing TALL. 👌🏽
🧎♀️Remember these tips:
👉🏽Feet & knees hip width apart.
👉🏽Relax through your neck & shoulders, slide shoulder blades down your back.
👉🏽Keep tall & lengthened through your spine, gently pull chin in towards your neck.
👉🏽Every time you exhale, scoop your belly button in & pelvic floor up. (Like you are squeezing into a tight pair of jeans).
👉🏽Imagine you are balancing a book on your head. Think of length & height.
👉🏽Inhale through your nose & exhale out your mouth.
👉🏽Repeat as many times as you like until you feel tall, lengthened & relaxed.
Have fun, enjoy & as always keep listening to your body.🌿
Maria 😘🧘♀️🌻
Did you know? Pilates can help balance out your hormones.👇🏽
😌Reduces stress – The calming, mindful movements lower stress hormones, like cortisol, which can improve energy, sleep, & mood.
😴Supports better sleep – Gentle exercise & deep breathing help you rest more deeply, which allows your body to repair & rebalance overnight.
💫Boosts circulation – Improved blood flow, especially to the core & pelvic area, can support reproductive health & ease symptoms of PMS or menopause.
🩸Balances blood sugar – Stronger muscles help your body use energy more efficiently, keeping blood sugar & appetite hormones steadier.
😊Lifts your mood – Pilates releases “feel-good” hormones like endorphins & serotonin, helping you feel more positive & relaxed.
When your body is stronger, calmer, & well-rested, your hormones naturally work more in harmony – & that’s a win for your overall health & wellbeing.
Join us💻 Online, in Pukekohe or Pokeno.
Let's feel good together. 🤗

🥰At BaseSix Fitness, we work on deep core muscles including the pelvic floor. It is important to keep this area active & build both strength & endurance particularly as we age. Like any muscle if we don’t use it, we lose it. 💪
🙏Bladder issues or incontinence may become an issue after pregnancy & as we age, this can pose a problem too. During BaseSix Fitness classes, moves are carried out with precision, focusing on improving stability in your abdominals while creating space in between the vertebrae in your spine.
🙏By developing our breath & body awareness through Pilates, we improve our minor muscles naturally. This in turn helps strengthen our major muscles. When all muscles are developing correctly you will naturally carry out every day life activities with minimum effort & maximum pleasure. 😇
🙏Improve your Core muscles & pelvic floor with BaseSix Fitness.
Want to know more? 🤔Reach out. I would love to help you. Maria 🤗

My name is Maria & I am the sole fitness instructor of BaseSix Fitness. With over 8 years of experience within the health & fitness industry, I hope to inspire you to experience & understand the benefits of having a strong core & stable body, no matter what stage of life or fitness level you are at.
BaseSix Fitness classes are a low impact, gentler work out that incorporates the stretching from Yoga, to enhance flexibility & your natural movement, & the core strength & conditioning exercises along with correct breathing technique from Pilates. It is suitable for all fitness levels with the class catering to beginners, elite athletes & everyone in-between. You have the power to choose the intensity of each move. I focus on building your core strength & flexibility by teaching you how to tailor each move to your ability. Whether you are at the beginners level of fitness or at the top of your game, I will guide you in the exercises best suited for you & your body.
BaseSix Fitness incorporates a range of moves & exercises from various areas of fitness & physical wellbeing.
I believe BOTH Yoga & Pilates are fantastic for your health & wellbeing & compliment each other wonderfully.
BaseSix Fitness brings certain aspects of Yoga & Pilates together to create a huge range of movements to enhance your life.
Low impact exercises are performed on a mat. Through a series of poses (downward dog, tree, warrior pose for example) we utilize your body weight as resistance.
The focus is to improve core strength, balance, flexibility, stability, mind-body connection & awareness.
We use a workout method that involves moving through slow, precise and strength exercises with breath control.
As we move through the poses, you are encouraged to incorporate your breath into each movement. Ideally your breath & movement will become synced.
I am available for private classes, personal training sessions, coffee groups, mums & bubs classes & special events.
Feel free to contact BaseSix Fitness for more information.
