What it is
A way to bring the Sunshine Coast Pilates community together with continuing education and increasing the amount of professional development available from non-local presenters to the Sunshine Coast, QLD.
In-person learning has a much-understated value in the Pilates industry with so many offerings online, yet we are mainly a face-to-face service industry and therefore certain skill sets are better nurtured in the flesh.
This industry grows stronger as a community and to share our knowledge together only elevates us even further. And this is exactly what we envision at this weekend.

Featured Masterclasses & Workshops
Friday July 24th
To the Max – 1pm
To the Max is a thought-provoking workshop that challenges how Pilates practitioners understand, prescribe, and apply maximal effort within movement training.
Rather than equating maximal effort with “harder” or “more reps,” this workshop explores what maximal effort actually means physically, neurologically, and psychologically. How it can be used with intention inside Pilates programming. Participants will examine the theory behind different maximal-effort techniques and how these approaches influence strength development, mobility expression, control, and movement output.
Saturday July 25th
Knowing the neck masterclass – 9am
The Knowing the Neck Masterclass is a companion session to the Knowing the Neck workshop, designed to explore cervical articulation techniques within agroup class setting.
This masterclass focuses on exercises that enhance neck mobility and strength, while also examining how neck and eye positioning can influence overall body alignment and muscular recruitment during movement.

Sunday July 26th
Shoulder Savvy workshop – 9am
Shoulder Savvy is a practical and educational workshop designed to deepen understanding of shoulder mechanics and motion, while building assessment and programming skills for Pilates professionals.
Participants will learn how to observe and interpret shoulder function, then apply targeted strategies to improve mobility, stability, and strength using the Pilates method.
