Tlc pilates

Can you guess what this is!?! 🤔
Apart from good taste in footwear and fellow classmates showing up all matchy matchy that's not it.... 😆

If you join our Equipment Classes (Studio) at tlc pilates in Buderim Pines, this is the max amount of people in any class... EVER! ALWAYS!

Just 3!!

And it's run more like a personal training session, not a group 'follow-along' class. All 3 people, different Pilates exercises, different Pilates equipment. Always the same practitioner (the business owner).

That's why our pricing won't look the same as large Group Reformer studios now, or ever. And we're happy with not being like them, because we're a very different kind of studio. And no hard feelings if you just want cheap Pilates, that's ok - that's just not our jam.

But for many of us, we're looking for something more...

Tiny studio, tiny classes = more impactful results, more time with your Instructor.

We believe Pilates should be bespoke, adapted for whatever needs YOUR body has on any given day you walk into the studio. And that's why our magic number is 3! And why we use ALL of the Pilates Equipment we have available, not just a Reformer.

Experience the difference for yourself.

Check us out on our website www.tlcpilates.com.au, and our socials and see just how unique we are. 💙💚

A DAY SPA FOR YOUR MUSCLES |

A full body stretch

Instant rejuvenation

A sneaky strength workout

An hour to breathe

Regather your thoughts

Put your pain behind you

💚💙

A space to release....
It's amazing how often conversations come up about how we hold tension in our bodies without noticing.
And it's true, if you caught yourself at any point in the day, it's likely we're holding our breath, or rapidly breathing and holding tension in our head, neck and shoulders.
Now I don't know about you, but as I get older I realise the impact that ongoing and prolonged muscular tension can have on our bodies & our health with chronic pain and niggles.
Pilates is great resistance and strength training focused very much on using your breath to get the most from your exercise. Because of this increased concentration on that breath, you often finish class feeling relaxed and energised, while still having given all your muscles a well-rounded workout 💙.

Hindsight....
Like many of you, I too have spent a number of years hunched over a computer desk, too busy for lunch, too busy for a break, too busy to even leave my desk! It wasn't until this unhealthy habit caught up with me....in a big way, that I finally realised I had to make some big lifestyle changes.

My posture had become so bad it was causing neck and shoulder tension, which in turn led to chronic headaches. Daily headaches that were unbearable and so painful I often ended up on the floor under my desk by mid-afternoon and then home in bed straight after work - my colleagues and family worried about the cause.

Discussing this with my Physio and Pilates instructor led to tailoring my Pilates program to strengthen my shoulders and back. It took a good 6 months to retrain my body but the headaches eventually lessened. Now they only appear once in a while; when I know I've not been taking regular breaks from the computer or I let my reaction to stress get away from me.

One things for sure I'm never risking that coming back, so will always make Pilates my non-negotiable times in my diary!

This is one of the major reasons I believe in the power of Pilates so much and why I studied my Instructor Certification, gave up corporate life and opened my own Pilates Studio.

Pilates helped me get my life back, a life free from pain and my biggest regret is letting my pain & posture get so bad before I made a change. My goal at the Studio is to help others achieve feeling better to get through this thing called life.

Yours in movement,
Tamara

We offer free Meet n Greet consultations at the Studio where you can discuss your goals and if Pilates might be right for you - get in touch with us to organise.

I USED TO THINK.....
My body was broken....

And yesterday, sitting at my computer doing bookwork reminded me how bloody hard on your body desk work is 😮‍💨

Yes, I'm now a Pilates Instructor and no longer sit at a desk for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week - but I used to, and I remember it.... clearly

The frustration
The pain
The excuses
The exhaustion
The painkillers
The anxiety
The catastrophising
The tears

Getting rid of my chronic headaches, neck & hip pain was the reason I found Pilates in the first place.

The profound results I found & felt was the reason I ended up completely pivoting away from a 10 year career in Advertising and Marketing to study Pilates in 2016, become an Instructor & open a private boutique studio back in 2017.

Seeing others become strong, confident and overcome pain is the reason I continue my path.

I've been where you are.

I've come out the other side.

I continue to surprise myself with my bodies ability to overcome all the things life throws at it and its ability to stay strong as a 40-something year old woman.

And it is all thanks to Pilates.

And I want YOU to feel THAT good in YOUR body.

It can do amazing things. It is strong. It can recover. It can feel better. Feel good. Feel strong.

You just have to show it the way. 💙💚

Our Spring Into Spring 6 week Challenge starts today!
🌷🌼🌸🌻🌹🪴🌱🌿🌷🌼🌸🌻🌹🪴🌱🌿

Let's deep dive into our Pilates and our health & wellbeing! 🙌

Tips for getting the most out of your 'pilates-party';

☀️ We'll be exploring the importance of breathing and centring ourselves before we move, so arrive on time and be ready to go! 🧘‍♀️

☀️ Recognise class is a sacred time for most, be mindful of conversation & focus on your movement - this is the magic-sauce in Pilates 🥰

☀️ Be positive in your attitude and self-talk and recognise that not every day is a good day, acceptance and workarounds are totally encouraged.

☀️ Let Tamara know if you have a specific goal you'd like to work on, maybe you want to see how great your 🛴 can get or learn an entire sequence like 🍌 🙈
(inside jokes IYKYK).

☀️ Remember that movement always helps you feel better! 🫶

☀️ Pilates is fun, let's have fun with it!

Good luck my Challengers - hope to see the largest finishing party of all time, this year! 🙌😊

How's your posture? How are you seated right now?
Bad posture and the pain it eventually causes are one of the main reasons I hear for starting Pilates when people walk into the studio for the first time.
Head, Neck, Shoulders & Back are the usual spots you'll likely start to notice the niggles. It can present itself in many different ways, no two bodies are alike; headaches, muscle spasms, tightness, neck & shoulder pain to name a few. Learn to listen to your body and what it's telling you. 🙏 It speaks louder and lounder until you do!!
This particular area is one I have a special interest in and an area Pilates has helped me personally. If someone can feel better after Pilates than when they walked in the door that's a great outcome!
Whilst it's never too late to work on reducing the pain and tightness caused from postural issues, prevention and maintenance is far better than waiting until you have chronic pain to act 💙
Our Studio Classes are a great class to work on postural mobility and strength with only two other people in the Studio with you.
If you suffer chronic or acute pain or conditions, feel free to contact me for a chat about how Pilates would be the best to support you on your journey.

6 WEEK CHALLENGE | 
Our annual Movement Challenge, 'Spring Into Spring' starts next week! Are we ready!?!

EVERYONE of our Pilates tribe is automatically included! No extra cost or commitment necessary!

Beat the Winter blues with a habit & consistency building challenge. Into our 3rd year!

It’ll be Spring by the time we finish - woohoo!!

Now before you all groan at yet another 6 week challenge, let us tell you what OUR 'Spring into Spring' is all about 🤗 🙌

🙅‍♀️ It ain't about weight loss or measurements
And....
🙅‍♀️ It ain't about fitting in a ridiculous amount of classes

🌞 First and foremost it's about finding fun movement with  Pilates and sharing our achievements in a tribe of supportive and wonderful human beings ❤️ 

🌞 We're all about cultivating healthy habits for ourselves and what better way than committing ourselves to a goal of consistent 'me-time' for 6 weeks. When we're halfway through the year, setting yourself a feel-good goal like this can help you with the motivation to set even more personal growth goals to see out 2024!

🌞 Exercise and movement is important for maintaining overall health and keeping our immune systems in tip-top shape, both physically and mentally 🫶

🌞 We exercise & have a movement practice because it makes us feel gooood and strong! Wooo! 💪

🌞 Let's see out the cold Winter we're having (bye bye now 👋) and welcome in Spring, the season of growth and hope and warm, sunshiney days! 🌱

🌞 All you have to do is attend your regular classes for 6 weeks, no reschedules, no make-up's - that really is all! Simples! Let's do this! 🤗

Sounds easy....but is it!?! 😉

This year I'm treating all my Challenge finishers to a lovely surprise 🥰💚💙

100+ CLUB 🎉🎉
A couple of our long-term members hit their 100 classes recently. And they just so happen to be in the same class together! So what better chance to celebrate their milestones than with a class pic! 📸
Go Thursday morning crew! 👊💥

Congratulations Kelli! ✨️
Congratulations Angus! 🙌

Well done on your commitment to your Pilates practice the last couple years! 👏👏👏

The Thursday morning crew are genuinely awesome people and good Pilates pals, supporting each other every week and sharing their Pilates journey together over the years

Thinking back to where we started, both have made great inroads to improving their functional movement. Pilates helps manage niggles no matter what they are whilst having a bit of fun with a laugh or two and some time-out from their super-busy lives 💚💙

Thankyou for being part of the tribe guys & for trusting your movement practice to me each week. I love having both of you in class and here's to seeing you at your next milestones 🎉

Nice job! 😃

Standard winter teaching attire...studio matching of course 😉 💚💙🥶

🎉🎉 100+ & 300+ CLUB 🎉🎉
A biiiig congratulations to these 2 awesome ladies on reaching their milestones recently!

Kara & her daughter Taya have been doing Pilates together before school for over 2 years now and we love having them as part of the tribe!

Such improvement of the years, Taya utilises her Pilates practice to maintain and improve her strength and flexibility for Oztag 🏈. We also love to work on some of the advanced gymnastic style exercises now she is such a strong & confident mover. 🤸‍♀️ So much fun!

Kara hits 300 classes and joins a very special group of tribesters, consistency working on her strength & mobility every week. Kara's discipline is second to none - don't stand in the way of this super woman and her pilates!!

Congratulations my lovelies - well done on your achievements and see you at the next milestone! 👏🙌

🎉🎉 IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY!! 🎉🎉

Celebrating '7' years of today......well I might just wait til after work to crack the champagne bottle.... 🍾🥂🤪

Although.... that 'could' meet the needs of my arvo class crew who are always suggesting 'pinot & pilates' classes 😂🤔 - you know who you are 😉🤣

What a ride, many up's and downs but THE most awesome community of people to work with every week - love and appreciate every single one of you!
💙💚 Thankyou 🙏

Proud to be able to offer some of the most unique VIP-sized Pilates classes on the Coast! 💥

Time to roll with the punches this week ⚫️

Everyone's favourite prop making an appearance in Studio & Mat classes this week! 🌟🙌

See you in the studio tribesters 💙💚😍

Fiona loves our studio and Pilates and we think that's pretty cool! 😍

" I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Tlc pilates situated in Buderim here on the Sunshine Coast because of the studio’s friendly, welcoming, professional unique vibe. It’s definitely a pilates studio where I can revitalise my body, elevate my spirit & reinvigorate my mindset!

At tlc pilates there’s a real focus on enjoying your session along with fostering one’s mind body relationship with a strong emphasis on core stability, strength & stability, flexibility, muscle control, posture & breathing. I find it continues to compliment my long standing yoga practice in such a positive way!

The classes are planned & delivered by Tamara who is the owner of tlc pilates - I have complete trust in her high level of knowledge, expertise & commitment to ongoing learning.

All programming is client centred using both traditional as well as contemporary pilates equipment like the Reformer, Wall Cadillac & Wunda Chair. I find the classes to be perfectly balanced, diverse, fun, interesting, challenging & promote a lovely sense of calm.

Tamara has always said to come even if I don’t feel that great & it’s true because I always feel so much better for coming!

I really do look forward to my weekly class with my two “pilates pals” because of the supportive, enjoyable & encouraging environment Tamara has compassionately created at tlc pilates. It’s certainly a vital part of my week & something I can say I do look forward to!

Tamara is able to read my body & know what I need better than me most times! She can be my voice of reason if I push a little too hard. And very understanding when things don’t quite go to plan.

If you are like me & want to continue to be able to move freely as you age, maintain your core strength & fitness, increase your flexibility, improve your balance, address postural issues plus perhaps engage in injury rehabilitation &/or illness recovery then tlc pilates really is the pilates studio to do so.

You will be encouraged every step of the way & your gains celebrated with you!"

I'm Tamara, a busy woman in her mid 40's who's just trying to keep a strong and mobile body as I age.

Why?

Because I hate the niggles that just 'pop' up out of nowhere if I don't.

Because I just want to be as pain-free as possible. I've had/have/will have things that have gotten me down over the last 15 years, Pilates has helped me manage those. Headaches, desk-related neck & shoulder tension, running injuries (glute/hamstring), sciatica, scoliosis to name a few.

Because I want to be STRONG!
I want to avoid falls, trips and osteoporosis. We see what that can do to our beloved mothers and grandmothers and I'm determined to avoid that at all costs.

Because I want to be MOBILE! I want to continue to be able to get up and down, climb things, put things away, when I'm 80.

Because I want my stress levels to remain low. Concentrating on breathing and mindful movement helps me keep a clear head.

We're at a unique point in our lives, it feels like an awakening of sorts. 🌟 We have the knowledge, life experience and need to work on ourselves after many years in the workforce and as important family members. Now it's our time. 💙

I'm stronger and more mobile now than I have ever been. And if I can do it, you most certainly can too 💚

It may not be easy, it may not always be convenient but it will be worth it! 🥰

Take us on holiday with you!

Pilates will have you feeling good after a long flight or big travel day. And all you need is a towel on your hotel floor! 😉

We offer our tribesters the option to record our weekly Mat class and send it over to you, wherever you are in the world! 🌎 Just another way treat our members to the VIP Experience ✨️✨️🤩

One of our lovely tribesters currently in Fiji sent us this message while away 😁

"Thanks for the recording.... it was just what my body needed. Hips and neck have been really stiff since the flight. Thank you 🙏 💕"

Pilates is always a good idea! 🌟

Our beautiful and refreshing Pilates space 💚

Movement & Exercise need not look like the usual gym 💙

Tonight we farewelled our longest tribe member Jane, who after nearly 7 years in our Mat class crew is leaving as she moves to pursue her nursing career in Maryborough. 😭💙💚

Thank you so much Jane for being a part of the studio community for all of these years, I'm very grateful for everything you have contributed. We'll all miss having you in class!

On a personal note, Jane and her husband have been our good neighbours and friends for almost 15 years and to say life won't be the same without them is an understatement. Wishing them both all the best in this next chapter of their lives 🫶

Winter's here and there's a chill in the air 🥶
Let's Jump! 💥💚💙

When everyone turns up to Pilates in matching grip socks....🙌💙💚

No memo needed 😆

Are we there yet?.....

Pilates home-practise in front of the heater - yay or nay?

I mean, us Qld'er's are Winter wimps yeah?
Surely I'm not on my own here....😆😂

Strong Shoulders ✅️
Strong Core ✅️

Mind Body Connection ✅️

www.tlcpilates.com.au

Our tribesters are here for the long run 💚💙

Did you know most of our members stay and grow with us over many many years. Most of our current studio family have been with us over 3 years, with some over 6!

I believe this long held connection allows us to work through all of our bodies ups and downs over the years without the need to stop training, continuing to grow stronger and push the limits on what we think our bodies are capable of. It's kinda magic 🌟

How do we achieve this?
✔️Consistent Training
✔️Semi-private class sizes - 3ppl max ALWAYS
✔️Same Practitioner every class
✔️Working the whole studio of equipment (but not JUST the Reformer)

If you think we sound like the Pilates Studio for you, get in touch with Tamara by DM.

In our spare time....

We're part-time farmers! Betcha didn't see that one coming 😜

I may be a Pilates Instructor and Studio Owner by day, but looong before that, while we were both still heavily in the corporate world, me (Tamara) at Yellow Pages as an Advertising Executive and Quentin (hubby) as a Financial Planner, we went on the hunt for a countryside weekender. Our piece of paradise finally found in Pimpimbudgee in the South Burnett, in the foothills of the Bunya Mountains!

Fast-forward 10 years, lots of learning and countless hours, has been born. Delivering fresh beef packs to our old home cities of Toowoomba and Brisbane and of course, to our beloved Sunny Coast.

Interested in following our farm journey, farm-camping, or purchasing hormone-free beef packs in the future, follow our socials Tinara Pastured Beef on Instagram & Facebook

We look forward to having you along for the journey!

Tamara 👢🤠

The best thing about your studio, well, there are a few best things;
1. We never do the same old week in week out, even within a week, every class is different. We certainly work hard but it's always fun.
2. We have fun and laugh. There is zero judgement about anything. Everybody just does the best they can.
3. Your studio is a great space for people trying Pilates for the first time. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.
4. You have created a lovely, warm and welcoming place Tamara, thank you. I am forever hooked on Pilates because of your approach.

💚💙🙏

Strong, Mobile, Resilient

Everything we need our bodies to be for the future.

Pilates is future-proofing our students bodies for long independent lives.

💚💙

Everybody ❤️'s Reformer Jumpboard Week!

Once a month we pull out the Jumpboard on the Reformer for some heart-rate raising fun!

Modified if we need to, it's a great way to build ankle, knee & hip strength, help build strong bones & have some fun! Perfect for some stress-relief after end-of-month work/home pressures.

Reformer Jumpboard happens in all our Studio classes in the first week of the month - we love jumpin' into a new month round here! 👌

Happy Mothers Day to all the kinds of mums out there! 💕

We celebrate and see you every day, not just today but gifts and pampering sure are nice 😉🥰

🌼🏵🌸🌹💐
