Small Group Neuro Pilates in Bentleigh East
Every session is taught by me, Lou Conyers, studio owner and sole practitioner. I specialise in Neuro Pilates for women over 50 who want to move well and feel confident doing it.
Neuro Pilates works differently to traditional Pilates. It brings in your brain and nervous system alongside classic Pilates movements, so sessions build both strength and better balance, coordination, and control.
Small group sessions are capped at 3, you get a tailored session with great company.
What Makes Neuro Pilates Different
Most exercise programs focus only on muscles. Neuro Pilates goes deeper, working with the brain–body connection. I help your nervous system “re-learn” safe, efficient movement patterns.
This approach is especially powerful if you:
- Experience stiffness, aches, or chronic pain
- Feel unsteady on your feet or worry about balance
- Want to stay active and independent as you age
- Prefer a gentle, supportive environment over “no pain, no gain” workouts
Why Choose Small Group Pilates
I keep sessions small, never more than three people, so I can watch what your body’s doing and adjust as we go.
- Small groups mean I notice when something’s off, even if you don’t say anything
- You’ll get to know the other women in your session over time
- Full use of the Reformer and FuseLadder, the same equipment as private sessions
However, if you’re managing a more complex condition, recovering from a recent injury or surgery, or just prefer one-on-one attention, private sessions might be a better starting point.
What to Expect
Each 40-minute session starts with mobility work that gets your nervous system engaged. Then we move onto the Reformer, Fuse Ladder, or mat, with exercises adapted to what your body needs that day.
You’ll feel:
- Less stiffness by the end of the session than when you walked in
- Steadier on your feet, more aware of how you’re balancing
- Calmer, without the “smashed” feeling of a hard workout
- Clearer on how today’s session connects to your everyday movement

Most clients attend 1–2 sessions per week. Consistency is more important than intensity.
