MEET TAMARA – YOUR INSTRUCTOR

I’m Tamara, owner of tlc pilates. I was first introduced to Pilates by my husband many years ago after he was prescribed (and enjoyed!) the movement therapy as a way to manage chronic neck pain from an injury. From this initial introduction, a passion for Pilates grew and I’ve been practicing Pilates for almost 20 years and in my 10th year of teaching.

I’ve seen the physical benefits from a fitness and toning perspective, using Pilates as my preferred fitness regime in the lead up to my wedding. Joseph Pilates was spot on when he said you’d have a whole new body in 30 sessions! More recently, I’ve also discovered the rehabilitation benefits and enjoy being able to exercise without pain and reducing the risk of re-injury. Pilates time is also a fantastic time out from my busy life, a whole hour just to focus on me – a great stress reliever.

Like many of us, long hours spent at work in front of a computer took their toll on me in the way of chronic headaches, so I turned to Pilates to retrain my muscles and improve my posture – it worked, with headaches now rare and I had the realisation of a whole population of people in exactly the same situation.

This ‘lightbulb’ moment led me to take my interest in Pilates to the next level and complete a 52728WA Certificate IV in Contemporary Pilates and Teaching Methodology at Tensegrity Training Studio, here on the Sunshine Coast back in 2016, where I later instructed upon qualification.

The move away from intimate, small studios to mass fitness classes in the Pilates space led me to consider a workout space that allowed more personalised attention in a friendly unintimidating space. My love and gratitude of the coastal lifestyle here on the Sunshine Coast are the inspiration behind my unique, refreshing and beautiful studio space.

My classes are a combination of fun and mindfulness with purposeful mind body awareness with options always provided for injuries, limitations or for those wanting to challenge themselves.

The most rewarding aspects about Pilates instructing include being a part of my students’ journey of improvement and witnessing the effect that a class has on their mental well-being, seeing students leaving class refreshed, energised and inspired, ready to take on their busy life.

I’d love to welcome you to my studio.
