If I’m picking one I’m picking weights.

But the whole “Pilates is the best” or “Pilates is completely useless” mentality is unnecessary. They’re not competitors. They’re tools.

One of the things Pilates can do really well is develop body awareness, control, coordination, & movement skill.

People who practice Pilates can feel what their body is doing, they have great body awareness, they can make movement adjustments more easily and those skills transfer to the gym.

In saying that, I will die on the hill that ALL women should be lifting weights.

You cannot replace the benefits of resistance training for strength, muscle mass, bone density and force production. Not with Pilates.

But, if you love Pilates do Pilates!
The more ways you move, the more tools you have, the more adaptable you become.
So I really think it’s not Pilates OR weights - it’s Pilates AND weights.

Then there’s POWERFLOW, this is without a doubt my favorite class to teach because it combines two things every body needs: strength and Pilates. I think of this class as the bubble that sits in the centre point of a spirit level. It’s not your classical Pilates and it’s not your gym weight class, it’s the bubble in between 🔥

It builds strength, resilience, confidence, and capacity with a Pilates twist which teaches control, precision, and body awareness.

Together, POWERFLOW creates stronger bodies that move better not just in the studio, but in everyday life 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Join me tomorrow if you curious to find out more 6am and 5:30pm🫶🏻

Sorry for the long spiel. This platform is full of strong opinions in the health n wellness industry, many of which aren’t necessary. All movement has its benefits so we really need to stop criticising one over the other. MOVE YOUR BODIES IN WHICHEVER WAY INSPIRES YOU AND LIFT WEIGHTS😂🫶🏻 by @__kobiebrown

After many words of encouragement from Nat and friends we have finally committed to our first event togther☺️

A restorative wellness experience designed around what Matt and I believe are the three essential pillars to “Nourishment”: Movement, Nutrition and Meditation.

Beginning with Movement - an all levels Yoga practice that awakens, strengthens, increases flexibility, mobility and an opportunity to connect body and breath.

Followed by an informal, interactive discussion on Nutrition that feels perhaps like a conversation rather than a lecture. The session covers practical topics—meal planning for energy, myth-busting common diet misconceptions, portion sense, mindful eating, macros, the hype around protein and simple swaps / inclusions for better gut health. We will discuss how to “Build a Bowl”…building a balanced plate using wholefoods, flavour boosting herbs, spices and dressings. There will be takeaway resources: sample menus, easy recipes and simple tips to make nourishing choices both realistic and sustainable. Lunch will include a fully catered gourmet meal from @themindbodynutritionist - an opportunity put what you’ve learnt into practice and build your own bowl! Dessert, an OG Cape Press Raw Donut😉

We will finish the day with Matt in discussion and formal practice. What is Mindfulness Meditation and why is it important in our busy lives? An opportunity to lean into stillness and perhaps see our thoughts a little clearer.

Join us to reconnect body, breath, and plate — leave grounded, energized, and equipped with simple practices to carry balance and NOURISHMENT into your everyday lives.

Tickets are limited. Secure your spot via the link in BIO / QR code.

We are both super excited and hope to see you there🙏🏼🩵

Should we do another Handstand workshop🤷🏼‍♀️

Two big misconceptions around Powerflow
1. The pace is fast - actually the complete opposite. It’s slow and controlled. Strength and stability is our focus rather than momentum and speed. My count is so slow the death stares are punishing.
2. It’s easy - also the complete opposite 😂 it’s so challenging it will have you dripping sweat pools within the first 10 minutes. It’s asking your body to isolate in ways it rarely does, under load and a slow controlled tempo.

The strange thing is it’s so bad it’s good - so good it’s addictive. 90% our attendees are repeat offenders, hooked on how strong, open and energised their bodies feel after class.

If you just run, just hit the gym, just do yoga, just surf, maybe it’s time to mix things up and add something new to your routine. Your body will thank you for it🙌🏽
Try it for yourself 6am and 5:30pm tomorrow @yogasouthwest by @__kobiebrown

Control is everything! Taking it slow and making that mind body connection! Today’s little sequence balancing on the ball was intentional deep core activation, using core strength to stabilise.

It’s funny watching this back seeing how simple this looks but knowing how strong it felt. Crunches, V ups, mountain climbers etc… all core movements that have their place but they are dynamic and quite often momentum can take over. Slow controlled movements like this are not possible unless you articulate and activate the deeper layers of the core, the Transverse Abdominis, Multifidus, Diaphragm and Pelvic Floor. If you want to strength your core, improve posture, improve balance and prevent back pain, start incorporating slower controlled movements like this into your routine🫶🏻

I don’t really have any other words for this afternoon other than THANKYOU! My first ever workshop/lab I’ve been left to write and plan by myself. I was excited and nervous at the same time but the people who came and the energy enthusiasm they brought made it the best 3 hours ever. Lots of laughs, sighs and groans but nothing a donut at the end couldn’t fix😂

Thankyou for coming, thankyou for trusting what I taught and thankyou for allowing yourselves to be challenged. Knowing success wasn’t the goal, feeling and embracing the challenging was❤️

Biggest thankyou to Nat for always and forever being the best teacher, boss, friend, mentor I could ever ask for on my yoga journey xox
