I’ve been getting my thoughts down recently. Some opinions on how I have perceived changes in our industry , changes in how I teach after 30+ years and how science evolves. /pub/donnaolivermoves #pilateseducation #wollongongpilatesstudio #pilatesteachertraining #pilatesteachers #pilatesprofessionals #movementeducation #legacyoverhype
I’m devastated by what happened in Bondi last night. I’m thinking of the people who were killed, those who were injured, their families, and the first responders.
Grief is not an excuse for hate. I won’t accept anti-Arab rhetoric, Islamophobia, or prejudice of any kind here. I stand with the Jewish community, with care, respect, and solidarity.
🌀 Time to Check Your Pilates Springs!
Springs don’t last forever — and worn ones can put clients (and your insurance) at risk.
Look for these warning signs:
⚠️ Rust or corrosion
⚠️ Uneven coil spacing or stretch
⚠️ Kinks, bends, or dull coating
⚠️ Clicking or squeaking sounds
If you spot any of these — replace immediately! Most studios should refresh springs every 2–3 years (or sooner with heavy use).
✅ Protect your clients
✅ Stay covered by insurance
✅ Keep your studio professional & safe

The sad loss of two great Aussie Ballet legends. Colin Peasley, he was so kind to me and enormously encouraging of young dancers. And the amazing Garth Welch, RIP.
