A visit to the Polestar family in Sydney. Had a great session with Tracy and feel like my spine is able to move again.
I think their studio is probably 12 times the size of mine 🙂

Unlock the power of your authenticity in our one-day workshop "In touch with your heart".

Inside each of us, a world of desires and wishes resides, waiting to be explored and expressed. But how do we truly connect with our authentic selves? Is it a matter of the mind or the body? We say: why not both?

Connect body and mind: we believe in the power of synergy between those two. We'll guide you to (re)connect with your unique self.

Unleash your authenticity: in a world where many feel disconnected form their inner voice and physical selves, it's even more vital to be in supportive spaces where you can be who you are.

Ready to explore your desires and express your true self?
Join Barbara and Hanna on this transformative journey on November 4.

Very excited about our new website!

Ginger Pilates | Personal training and wellbeing Our studio is dedicated to personal training.

Our branche organization Pilates Professionals of the Netherlands was founded this year. During the Corona lockdowns it became evident we needed to unite in order to be recognized as a profession. Due to the risk of aerosols flying around at the gyms, we all needed to keep our studios closed even if the risk of those aerosols were negligible whilst doing Pilates.
Yesterday PPN organized an inspiring event with presenter Kelly Kane. Research shows cardiovascular activity slows down the aging process at cellular level, so we ended up doing a HIIT workout on a Saturday evening. (Whatever happened to beer in a bar at the weekend 😆).
I’ll be adding more cardio to workouts. Let those aerosols fly!

In Polestar Pilates we often prefer to cue bones rather than muscles. As visual cues are important, I decided to strip down to the bare bones.

Yesterday Hanna Zorandy and I joined forces to teach a Pantarei approach introductory workshop to students at the art academy. We connected them to their spark of inspiration through bodywork, touch and sharing.
In exchange I got inspired by the change in their eyes, postures and the collaboration with Hanna.

Smile to 2022! Have a healthy and happy one!!

All good; it was an intense week full of insights and inspiration studying with Pantarei Approach in Berlin. Now I need a little quarantine to recover from fatigue;)
If one thing has become clear this past year is how much we need touch. All stories are stored in our bodies. We need bodywork to digest what has happened and is happening.

Another locked in Kingsday and the entertainment is...an ankle and foot workshop! First step is a proper hallux assessment as Maya demonstrates.
Once the ankle sprain and plantar fasciitis rehab is well on the way, you may add some full body integration exercises for functional movement. Of course this can only be done under the supervision of a certified cat.

A year ago the garden shed was transformed into a pretty, little studio. It hasn’t been put to good use for months...soon inshallah.

Still not allowed to teach Pilates live, but as of today am allowed to give somatic therapy sessions again! Massage table ready, set, let’s go!

Last year we experienced a hausse of pregnant ladies at our studio. Thank you Lockdown #1. Here’s Toon, looking handsome in a rather spiffy new outfit. I’m sure he’ll be a great mover!
