Why Pilates?
What Pilates Can Help You Develop
and flexibility
Our Approach
We teach the Pilates method as a complete system, using the full range of traditional equipment created by Joseph Pilates. Each apparatus offers a different way to support, challenge and develop your movement.
It’s more than a series of exercises. It’s a method built to be practised for life.
Sessions are focused, purposeful and personal, with attention to how you move and what your body needs that day. You’ll work hard, build strength and challenge your body, all while developing greater awareness, control and confidence in how you move.
Every client starts privately before joining a group, so we can properly understand how you move. Groups stay small, with a maximum of four, giving you plenty of individual attention while enjoying the energy and motivation of working alongside others.
Deepening your practice takes time. Many of our clients have been practising with us for years, some for more than a decade. Pilates has remained something they can come back to through injuries, surgery, illness, life changes and everyday life.

There's a Place for You Here
Our clients come with different backgrounds, experiences and reasons for practising Pilates. Some are discovering the method for the first time, while others have been practising for years. We also welcome Pilates teachers who come to deepen their own practice and understanding of the classical method.
You don't have to move a certain way, look a certain way or have a particular level of experience. All you need to do is start.
Meet Eve
Eve Ward has been teaching Pilates for over fifteen years, with a strong belief that good movement comes from understanding, practice and consistency. She is a Principal APEI Mentor and Teacher Trainer for Victoria, and the owner of ME Pilates Studio in Bentleigh.
Her approach goes beyond teaching exercises. Eve helps her clients understand how they move, build strength and confidence, and develop a Pilates practice that supports them for life. A lifelong student herself, Eve continues to learn, explore movement and deepen her own practice.
You'll probably be greeted by Archie on your way in too, the studio's much-loved unofficial therapy dog.
"I love sharing what I know, and I never stop learning. Pilates isn't just my work, it's something I live."
- Eve
