About
Pilates + Yoga is to provide a welcoming and inclusive space for people of all ages and abilities to practise yoga. Located inside the new clinic at 6D, 35-37 Murradoc Road in Drysdale, PO+AH Pilates + Yoga is the top movement studio on the Bellarine Peninsula. The hand-picked team of experienced instructors offers a variety of classes, including traditional yoga, specialised pilates, Barre, and even pregnancy classes.
Pilates, one of the main focuses of the studio, is a type of exercise that targets deep muscle layers while incorporating movement. It aims to strengthen muscles and joints, improve movement and function, and reduce pain. Led by experienced pilates instructors, PO+AH's classes create a relaxed environment that encourages students to work within their limits while targeting core areas of the body such as the abdominals, lower back muscles, postural muscles, pelvic floor, and related joints. The instructors closely monitor students' movements and provide constructive feedback to ensure maximum benefit and enjoyment from each class.
The classes at PO+AH Pilates + Yoga cater to all ages and abilities. Whether you are a beginner or have previous pilates experience, there is a class suitable for you. The Clinical Mat classes offer modified exercises tailored to individual needs. To join these classes, a one-on-one assessment with a team member is required.
On the other hand, the Studio Mat Pilates class follows a set of exercises suitable for all participants without individual modifications. No prior assessment is necessary to join, but booking ahead of time is required.
For mothers, the Mums & Bubs Pilates class is specifically designed to support women throughout their pregnancy journey, from conception to recovery. Led by a trained osteopath, this slow-paced class welcomes babies to attend as well. Registration for this class can be done through the reception team.
In addition to pilates, PO+AH Pilates + Yoga also offers Clinical and Studio Reformer Pilates. The Clinical Reformer classes are led by a clinically trained health professional who guides participants in Pilates movements using state-of-the-art Allegro II reformers. These classes cater to individual conditions and strengthening needs, with a maximum of four participants to ensure personalised instructor assistance. On the other hand, the Studio Reformer Pilates classes are led by a qualified instructor, with a maximum of eight participants.
These classes provide a moderately paced, full-body exercise experience to improve fitness, strength, and mobility. No individual assessment is required to join the Studio Reformer Pilates classes.
