About the Event:

Joseph Pilates believed that sickness and disease were mainly due to “modern” lifestyle, bad posture and inadequate breathing methods, which led him to devise a series of exercise and training techniques. It involves strengthening of the core with alignment, breathing, coordination and balance. The Pilates method strengthens lengthens and rebalances the body to work as optimally as possible.

About the Facilitator:

Tonde Moyo

My journey with the body began in my twenties with martial arts, which I currently teach to adults and children. I continued my development with the study of massage, gym instruction and sports therapy. During a period of injury I began Pilates classes. I enjoyed it so much that I enrolled on a course to become a Pilates instructor. 6 years later, I still find joy in teaching and self practice.

“What donation tier might be best applicable to me?”

Concession Tier 1

This tier is for those who are students on a low income, carers, or single parents. It is also for people who are unemployed or underemployed, navigating financial hardship, or facing systemic barriers. If you rarely spend on extras or feel stressed about meeting basic needs, this tier exists so that you can still participate. Your presence matters, and you are welcome here.

Sustainable Tier 2
Choose this tier if you have stable employment or a regular income, are able to meet your basic needs and some wants, and can occasionally go out or put a little money aside. At this level, you don’t often worry about making ends meet.

Generous Tier 3
This option is for those with a comfortable income or savings, who may own their home or have access to family wealth. You might go on holidays, eat out regularly, or shop for pleasure. Contributing at this tier helps support the wider community and those accessing the concession rate.
