• October is powerhouse month at Rituel Movement. Two moves I’m loving right now:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Side teaser with the short strap. Rotation, obliques, control.⁠
2️⃣ Full teaser on the long box. Balance, precision, nowhere to hide.⁠
⁠
The teaser asks for control, not momentum. That’s where the strength is built.⁠
⁠
Save this for your next session. Or come try it with us in studio👇

Some wisdom via Grad-owned Studio @rituelmovement ⁠
• We’re pretty good at looking after the things we value.⁠
⁠
Our homes. Our plants. Our routines. Our responsibilities.⁠
⁠
But our bodies deserve that same consistency.⁠
⁠
Movement isn’t about chasing the perfect workout or waiting until you feel motivated. It’s about giving your body regular opportunities to move, strengthen, stretch, play and feel good.⁠
⁠
You don’t have to do more.⁠
You just have to keep coming back.⁠
⁠
A little, often, goes a long way 🤍⁠

The Series of Five 🎨

Now in the heart of spring, the Series of Five has become a familiar thread in my classes over the past two months. I’ve included the full sequence every time, exploring what each exercise offers, how they flow together and how that familiarity carries into the other movements we explore.

There’s a quiet artistry in movement, in the rhythm we find and the way each exercise flows into the next. Returning to something familiar gives us room to explore those details and discover a little more of our own expression along the way.

Within the familiar, there’s always room to make the movement your own🌱

IF your goal is to build strength or muscle, learning how to approach failure is one of the skills we need to develop.

Of course, there are lots of factors that contribute to strength and hypertrophy, but this is an important one.

Training for hypertrophy is a skill in itself.

And one of those skills is learning how to approach failure without completely losing the intention of the exercise.

When we train at a sufficiently high intensity, some change in technique as fatigue builds is normal.

But there’s a difference between task failure and technical failure.

Can your client physically complete another rep?

And, separately, can they complete another rep while still maintaining the movement strategy required to create the stimulus you actually want?

Because if the exercise changes so much that they’re using a completely different strategy to finish the rep, we need to ask whether we’re still training what we intended to train.

This is particularly important when we talk about bringing strength and hypertrophy principles into Pilates.

It’s not enough to tell someone to “go until you can’t do any more.”

As instructors, we need to learn how to recognise fatigue, understand acceptable changes in technique, know when the intended stimulus is being lost, and coach clients towards an appropriate level of failure safely.

There are, of course, many pieces to the strength and hypertrophy puzzle. This is just one of the skill sets we need to understand if those are the outcomes we’re trying to create.

Training close to failure is a skill.
Coaching it is a skill too.

PILATES & SAUNA

Movement, heat and deep restoration.

A beautiful collaboration with @rituelmovement where two modalities combine.

We started with intentional movement led by Alice from Rituel Movement Studio and we finished with restorative heat using our luxurious private rooms at CalmBar @calmbar_

A ritual to leave you feeling stronger, calmer and completely reset. 🧘🏻 🔥

Because wellness feels even better when we do it together 🤝

• Welcome, Spring 🌿⁠
Spring has always felt like an invitation to begin again. A chance to pause, take stock, and decide what we want to carry with us into the season ahead. Not necessarily by doing more, but by returning to what matters. ⁠
⁠
Who said you can’t return to the beginning?⁠
⁠
The roots.⁠
⁠
Breath. Concentration. Centring. Control. Precision. Flow.⁠
⁠
The six principles of Pilates, and a gentle reminder that while the way we practise may evolve, the foundations remain.⁠
⁠
These are the foundations I come back to, time and time again. You’ll always find some version of these fundamentals in my classes. Sometimes the entire sequence as a warm up, sometimes woven between exercises, or used as preparation for something more challenging.⁠
⁠
Because the basics aren’t something we outgrow.⁠
⁠
They’re something we grow from.⁠
⁠
This season, I’m choosing a little more intention. A little more presence. And a reminder that progress doesn’t always mean moving forward.⁠
⁠
Sometimes, it means coming back to the beginning.⁠
⁠
And perhaps that’s an invitation for more than just our movement.⁠
⁠
To begin at the start, to make one small change and to return to something that matters.⁠
⁠
You don’t have to change everything. Sometimes, you just have to begin 🌱⁠

The idea was personal. The decisions that followed and made it sustainable were commercial.
After Pilates supported her postpartum recovery, @alicezikou left a 15 year corporate career to open Rituel Movement in Rozelle. @rituelmovement
The lessons and learnings quickly followed.
Her biggest lesson she wishes for people to know? Capital invested before opening a business can buy a head start you cannot recreate later.
Alice built Rituel Movement on real recovery. Today, she runs it on real numbers.

What is one business decision you wish you had made earlier?

Monday’s are always manic in our fam - long days full of activities and errands, and often my least productive… but sprinkle in some pilates, good food and dolly tributes, and I’m happy 🧡🫶

Big love to @dr.eliza.hannam and @nurturedmedical for being so good to my girls, always 🥰
