The Movement Room

The Movement Room is a boutique Pilates and movement focused studio based in Point Arkwright, the heart of the Sunshine Coast. A tranquil space for you to take time out to strengthen your body and mind, and to elevate the way you move through life.

We are passionate about safe and efficient movement, and about fun and community. Whether you are recovering from an injury or being proactive about your future physical wellbeing, wanting some time to focus on yourself, or to experience something new, we invite you to move with us. Our studio is a friendly, caring and supportive environment to heal, strengthen, and to master the kind of movement you never thought possible. We will guide you to move your body more effectively, from doing the things you do day-to-day, to helping you perform better, swing a golf club better, ride a bike better, swim better, hike better, feel better, and to LIVE better.

How We Work

We welcome all levels of movers. Whether you’re seeking to improve your performance, heal from or prevent injury, or manage ongoing biomechanical challenges like scoliosis or osteoporosis, we will meet you where you’re at and design programmes and classes to help you reach your goals. Our sessions are ideal for anyone looking to build strength, reduce discomfort, or maintain control and balance as they age. We also proudly support pregnant clients and new mums with bespoke classes catering to their unique needs.

Meet the Team

We have a highly skilled team of instructors who, along with their extensive experience and passionate dedication to ongoing education, offer each of our diverse clients the best movement guidance and care, in a supportive, friendly and fun environment.

Lynda

Owner/ Instructor

The first time I stepped into a Pilates studio I was hooked. As a competitive athlete, I’d spent a great deal of my time training: in pools, gyms, equestrian arenas, and sports grounds. I was fit and strong. But the moment I started practising Pilates, the strength and connection I felt was life changing. So I began shifting my focus from my corporate IT job to becoming a Pilates instructor – for myself, and for the transformation of others. Juggling my day job and a new baby, I worked with some of the best instructors in studios across Sydney, and in 2010 qualified for my diploma in Clinical Pilates with Polestar Australia, the global leaders in Clinical Pilates Education.

In 2014 I made another life changing decision and moved to The Sunshine Coast for a healthier lifestyle, and to realise my dream of building my dream home and open my own Pilates studio. The studio space was designed for me to work close to home so that I could balance work with taking care of my young family. It’s a beautiful and functional space that has grown into a vibrant and popular studio tucked away in a quiet and peaceful setting in the heart of the Sunshine Coast.

I bring 15 years of experience as a Pilates and movement instructor, numerous other accreditations, and a continued education and passion for this work with me into my studio every day. I work with athletes, clients preparing for or recovering from joint replacement surgeries, clients with neurological or spinal challenges, mums-to-be and new mums, clients rehabilitating from injury, or anyone who just wants to learn to move better.
