At our Collingwood pilates studio, we believe every body has a story worth honouring. In our continuing series featuring the remarkable people who make up our community, we introduce you to Sonia – an osteopath whose journey with movement embodies everything we stand for at Rosy Movement.

"Movement is just for me," Sonia reflects the wisdom earned through her personal transformation. Standing confidently in her lavender sweater, she radiates the same calm presence she brings to her osteopathy practice just minutes from our boutique reformer and tower pilates studio.

After a life-changing Achilles injury forced her to reassess her relationship with exercise, Sonia discovered what many of our clinical pilates clients come to understand – that true strength emerges when we listen to our bodies rather than imposing external expectations upon them.

Read her full story to discover how this revelation transformed both her personal practice and professional approach, and why she believes our intuitive and joy focused pilates philosophy creates space for authentic healing.

Sonia is a biodynamic cranial osteopath in Collingwood who embraces the same whole-person approach that guides our private and semi-private pilates sessions.

The moment in question – locked out of our Collingwood Pilates studio with Bear on the other side of the glass. An unexpected 30-minute pause that forced me to notice Smith Street's cobblestones, the rain, and the world passing by outside our mat, reformer and tower Pilates studio. Sometimes the most valuable mindfulness lessons come from the simplest inconveniences.

At Rosy Movement, we believe movement should be more than just another task on your to-do list. Our inclusive Pilates approach in Collingwood celebrates the full spectrum of benefits that come with mindful movement. Discover how breaking free from the "productivity trap" can transform your relationship with exercise, leading to greater consistency and joy. Learn how our boutique reformer and tower Pilates studio helps clients find sustainable movement practices that align with how they truly want to live.

Whether you’re looking to improve the skill of moving, recover from an injury, or simply feel better in your body, our tailored Pilates programs offer the perfect blend of personalised attention and expert guidance to help you reach your goals.

At ROSY, we believe that the routine of exercise doesn’t have to be rigid. Whether it's a private Pilates session with your favourite instructor, a group apparatus class, or simply using a mat to ground yourself, there's no pressure to follow any one path. Every plan is personalised to fit your needs, and we’re here to support you in making the adjustments necessary for you to move in a way that feels good. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are in your fitness journey, ROSY is here to empower you, and we’re so happy to walk beside you.

As humans, our natural instinct is to conserve energy, not spend it. So, if you’re not feeling up to get to that exercise class, or doing your home workout, or even walking around the block, there’s nothing wrong with you. You are not lazy—You are human.
