Good Afternoon RMC'ers,
As we gear up for the upcoming week, let's focus on the power of movement—not just as a way to strengthen our bodies, but as a tool for building connection and positivity. Every stride, every stretch, every push-up is a reminder that we are capable of more than we realize.
This week, let’s commit to moving with purpose. Whether you're running, walking, or simply taking time to stretch and breathe, remember that each movement brings us closer to our goals and closer to each other. 🌍✨

Information from the Women's Health Collective about the day
At the Huon Women’s Health Collective we love women. In all their wonder, complexity & diversity.
This festival is celebration of empowerment and community care. In a world where women often navigate unique health and wellbeing challenges, this event creates a space for learning, sharing, and healing together.
By bringing together inspiring speakers, hands-on workshops, and supportive conversations, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of women’s health, amplify diverse voices, and strengthen the ties that bind our community.
This festival isn’t just an event—it’s a movement.
A movement toward integrative healthcare, inclusivity, and the celebration of the wisdom and resilience of women everywhere.
Together, we’re weaving a fabric of support that will nourish us far beyond the festival itself.

Strength Session Details for upcoming fortnight.
Week starting 24.02.2025
Strength Class Focus: Functional
Functional strength exercises are movements that mimic everyday activities and improve your body’s ability to perform daily tasks efficiently and safely. They engage multiple muscle groups and joints, working in coordination to build strength, stability, and flexibility. These exercises provide a wide range of benefits such as improving coordination, injury prevention, muscular endurance and enhancing posture.
Week starting 03.02.2025
Strength Class Focus: Single Limb Loading
Single-limb strength exercises involve working one limb (arm or leg) at a time. These exercises are effective for building strength, improving balance, and addressing muscle imbalances between the left and right sides of the body.
We love soingle limb loading as we feel, together with functional week, you can take these movement patterns in to every day life.
** always remeber, if your body is feeling fatigued, use strength classes to just move to create flexibility and enhance mobility. Take the more regressed version and recover when needed.
Pilates Session Details for upcoming fortnight.
Week beginning 24/3
‘STRENGTH & MOBILITY’
Put your strength to the test this week as classes will incorporate repetitive exercises with resistance to engage your slow-twitch muscle fibres to build strength and improve muscle tone. Challenging your mobility is important for joint health, flexibility and is supportive to posture and balance. We think you’ll like this one!
Week beginning 3/3
‘FULL ROTATION’
Rotational exercises are important because they help you move more efficiently and safely, and can reduce the risk of injury.
In Pilates, rotation is a very important aspect within our practice as it creates an awareness of the deep muscles that hug and support the spine, creating strength and flexibility. To promote and build a healthy range of rotation within the body, the spine must be guided through flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation movement patterns.
