Hello,
Let me introduce myself - I’m Tarley.
My sojourn into the realm of Pilates began during my teenage years, when I was actively involved in sports. I would attend drop-in classes together with my mum, & it was always a fun experience. However, it wasn't until I reached adulthood & developed a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of the human body that I truly understood the transformative power of Pilates.
My journey recommenced after I became a mother to two amazing children. As I navigated the postnatal phase, I began to notice changes in my body. Poor postural habits at work and imbalanced posture led to a waning of my strength, alignment, & body confidence. My movements became restricted, & I began to experience pain & injuries.
To reclaim my health & well-being, I embarked on a journey with a personal trainer and underwent Pilates training with APPI (the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute). This training, with APPI, focused on safe, gradual core retraining before strengthening & conditioning.
As a certified APPI Pilates instructor, I've been able to combine my passion for movement with my love for anatomy & physiology. I enjoy meeting new people & building a strong relationship with each client. Through the APPI approach, I am able to understand their needs & tailor bespoke sessions that challenge & motivate them. My approach revolves around designing classes that are focused on the unique needs of each individual, helping them grow in confidence & strength, no matter their age.
Another rewarding aspect of my accreditation is the ability to work with pregnant & postnatal women. I believe that exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and I'm proud to offer a safe & effective way for women to strengthen their bodies throughout pregnancy & into motherhood.
If you attend my classes, you'll quickly see that I'm an enthusiastic & passionate instructor with a strong desire to help my clients achieve their fitness goals.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.
