Description
If you're looking to create a daily Pilates routine, this course is designed to provide exactly that.
In today’s world, it’s becoming easier, and necessary, to take care of our bodies and health from the comfort of our homes. Online workouts are extremely popular, especially in this current climate. More than anything, they're helping us, not only with the health of our bodies, but with the health of our minds.
This +5 hours, user-friendly course has been designed for the beginner to Pilates, specifically looking to practise their learned knowledge within effective workouts. "The Pilates Practice: Uncovering the Basics" covers the basic knowledge. "The Pilates Playlist" gives you the opportunity to actively apply this knowledge, with the potential of progressing onto an intermediate level.
I've created this course to offer a range of 20-minute workouts to be practiced daily. I personally love a bit of a routine, and feel 20 minutes is achievable within the confines of a busy day. With workouts for everyday of the week, it's designed to collectively target the entire body, using minimal accessories. The workouts are interchangeable, so if you'd prefer working a specific area of your body, that's possible too.
The course has been set out in a way that enables you to practise at your own level and convenience, until such point that you can advance to intermediate. Once there, continue to practise the intermediate classes until such point that you're able to tackle the additional hour. You'll then have the ongoing flexibility of continuing your practice three times a week. By pairing any three, 20-minute classes together, you'll have two hours' worth of workouts, plus the additional hour, at your disposal.
Who this course is for:
- Beginners who have completed the first course, The Pilates Practice: Uncovering the Basics. Alternatively, anyone who has the basic knowledge of the fundamentals and repertoire.
- Intermediate students looking for a refresher, or looking for new home workouts.
- Anyone with limited access to a gym/outdoors and seeking home workouts.
- Anyone looking to tone, sculpt and strengthen the core and body.
- Anyone wanting to create a daily Pilates mat work routine, that is effective and convenient, with the use of minimal accessories.
- Anyone looking to improve their postural alignment, with the intension of investing in a healthy spine.

Hey there, I'm Robyn.
I'm an artist and Pilates instructor. I was born and raised in sunny South Africa. Art and wellness are my two great passions in life. Although they're on completely opposite sides of the spectrum, they make up who I am and I’m constantly striving to strike a balance between the two.
It all started back in 2001. After a brief stint of studying law, I quickly realised my aptitude was seated in creativity. I moved to London, continuing my studies at Central Saint Martin’s College, specialising in fashion design. During my 6-year degree, I had the rare opportunity of working for Giorgio Armani in Milan. I continued working in the industry for 12 years, which included starting my own business, designing and manufacturing luxury handbags and accessories.
Unfortunately, the business didn't work out, forcing me to take a new direction in art and wellness. By this stage, my health took a knock and I was propelled into a journey of healing. I was struggling with a debilitating and painful hip condition called Femoroacetabular impingement - I know, quite a mouthful! Doctors advised me to operate on both hips, but I opted not to and decided to give Pilates a try instead.
It was then that I discovered the true benefits of Pilates, combined with TRE (Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercises) and Thai Yoga Massage. Not only were my hip issues resolved, but my overall health improved to the point that I was inspired to take this type of healing to others. I went on to qualify as a Pilates instructor, TRE Provider and Thai Yoga Massage Therapist.
RewbyPilates was started in a little studio in Cape Town. I taught Pilates in lovely space, surrounded by chiropractors and specialists. Quite often, I would take on referred patients as an added measure to their rehabilitation. I was teaching private and semi-private classes from this studio, or privately at client's homes. Occasionally, I acted as a Pilates model for the creation of course material for the Pilates Academy SA, allowing me the opportunity to learn and perfect my own practice.
In 2018, I decided to follow my dream to travel the world, exploring destinations in South East Asia, America, Australia, Africa and Europe. During that time, I continued to practice Pilates, and realised the benefits of having this invaluable knowledge at my disposal. Wherever I found myself, I was always in a position to take care of my health by simply using a mat and my bodyweight.
Now that I’ve settled in Australia, I’ve taken the leap to teach Pilates online. My objective is to share my knowledge via online courses and relevant platforms. My hope is to inspire, equip and strengthen all those looking to develop and grow in their own practice. What I love most about this way of learning is the community, and the fact that people come from all over the world to learn! I've gained incredible knowledge from other instructors, and I hope I can do the same for you.
If there is anything I can help you out with, please connect. I would love to hear from you.
Until then, enjoy the courses.
