Established in Brighton in January 2008, SOUTHERN TAZPILATES is owned and managed by Andrea Webster. This business is a professional allied health service that caters for all ages and abilities. Pilates focuses on the correct activation of specific muscle groups to assist in core stability and skeletal support. Through Pilates changes can be noticed in strength, flexibility, balance, posture and the tone of muscles. Apart from fun and fitness other benefits include relief from back or joint pain, re-education of muscle patterns after an accident or illness, stress-release and pre-natal post-natal therapy. Specialty classes are also available for sport conditioning such as dance, equestrian and football.

Andrea is registered through the Australian Pilates Method Association (APMA), a nationally recognised association. Originally she discovered Pilates as a way to help develop her dance technique and improve voice production. Since then it has become an integral part of her life. Andrea found that Pilates was a link between both voice & dance. Using Pilates breathing and correct muscle activation whilst singing enhances voice projection and control of air flow without the feeling of fatigue or over-singing. In dance, correct core muscle support enables neutral posture. This aids control and safe landings whilst minimising impact on joints. These fundamentals are now part of Andrea’s teachings.

This is the only business of its type outside the city area and has been welcomed by the wider Brighton community. The arrival of new clinical equipment has enabled a wider variety of programs to be offered at varying levels of difficulty. Southern TazPilates provides choice of mat classes from beginner to advanced. It also caters for private and small group studio-equipment sessions.
