BENEFITS OF PILATES?

Core Strength: Pilates emphasizes strengthening the core muscles, which helps improve posture, stability, and overall strength.

Flexibility: Pilates exercises promote flexibility and joint mobility, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing overall movement quality.

Body Awareness: Pilates encourages mindfulness and body awareness, helping individuals develop better alignment, coordination, and control over their movements.

Low Impact: Pilates is gentle on the joints, making it suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels, including those recovering from injuries.

Stress Relief: Pilates incorporates breathing techniques and mindful movement, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels.

This may seem obvious to a lot of you, but interestingly enough I get asked this question so often! "What is Barre Fit?" or "What do you do in your Barre Fit classes?"

The term "Barre" is used internationally for these kinds of classes. At Just Move Studio, our "Barre Fit" class is our own unique mix of exercises drawn from our own dance and Pilates experience. We constantly mix things up and play around with movement patterns, music, strengthening large muscle groups and smaller muscle groups... Sometimes we push the cardio element quite hard, and at times we slow down and focus on technique. We do exercises at the barre, on our mats and standing away from the barre. You don't need any previous dance experience to join our Barre Fit classes.

Come give it a go!

Hi, I’m Zoe! When you see me teaching at Just Move you are welcome to call me Zo. My dance journey started at the young age of 6, in Port Elizabeth, where I trained with Debbie Ralph until the age of 11. In 2006 my family and I moved to East London where I completed all my RAD exams with the late Geraldine Cross. Subsequently, my pilates journey started at the young age of 12 when I experienced bad lower back pain caused by my scoliosis. I was recommended that pilates would be a strong support for my intense ballet training at the time and help my body deal with the everyday pain of life. This helped me to continue my Ballet training and achieve my RAD advanced 2 certificate with Distinction. I also had the privilege of travelling to Scotland and participating in the 2013 Genee Ballet Competition. I decided to never not do pilates. After matric I did my pilates teacher training
course with BASI. I then moved to Cape town from East London and did my teachers diploma in Contemporary Dance teaching at UCT School of Dance. Once I completed these 3 years I joined Cape Town City
Ballet. My professional ballet career did not last long, and I realized my true passion is to help other people gain strength from functional movement.

I’ve been teaching pilates part time in studios in and around Cape Town for the past 10 years. My full-time job is working as the general manager at Ballet World where I can foster my other passion for helping dancers find
the right fit of ballet shoes as well as create a space where dancers can get helpful advice and guidance for their dance careers. I live with my husband, Matthew, our cat Ollie and our Corgi puppy, Bilbo, the newest addition to our family 🥰

I see myself continuing down the path of teaching
pilates to adults for the foreseeable future and will always continue to improve my teaching skills and grow my research in best pilates practices for the body 💚

Our brand new website is going to be launching soon and we are so excited to show you all! Keep an eye out for our official launch details in our stories over the next few days 😉

Oh, and happy Friday! 💚

Hi, I’m Debbie! I am passionate about all things relating to dance, fitness, health and overall well-being. I began my dancing journey in my hometown Pietermaritzburg at the age of 14 and I have never really looked back. From my very first Ballet class I loved how good movement felt in mybody and knew that dance would remain a part of my life from that day on. After a lot of catching up in my training and extra lessons I decided to pursue a career in dance. It wasn't easy and took a lot of patience from my beloved Ballet teacher Brenda MacLachlan who kept pushing me to enter into as many competitions, exams and Eisteddfods as I could. I was accepted into UCT School of Dance and moved to Cape Town at the end of my matric year in 2009. Over the next 4 years I was introduced to teaching when I chose to specialize my BMus degree in the dance pedagogy stream. During my studies I began teaching adults on the side while I did my teaching practicals in the afternoons. This quickly turned into a passion. I graduated in 2013 and danced professionally for abrief season with Cape Town City Ballet. I then moved on to teach full-time, teaching children of all ages as well as adults. After working for various ballet studios, I decided to start something of my own by teaching my own adult classes in Claremont in February 2015. This is where Just Move Studio started. Because I myself had started late and struggled to keep up with those around me, I knew that I could help others through the same struggles. I have since qualified as a Pilates instructor through BASI, and I have also qualified as apre and post-natal fitness instructor. Away from my career and the studio, I live with my amazingly supportive husband, Devin, and our three Cats: Lily, Chester and Ping 😻

I love using all the knowledge I have gained (and continue to gain) over the years to create a variety of classes where people can enjoy all the amazing benefits of movement and community 💚

Ok so maybe don't go for a walk outdoors today 🙈⛈️🌧️☔ but at least classes are indoors! A lot of these seem so obvious, but are easily overlooked when we get busy and stressed. Prioritise yourself by focusing on the basics 💚

Leaving for the long weekend early like 😎
