Mint Pilates approaches Pilates not simply as a modern fitness class, but as a complete system of movement with a history, methodology and purpose.

Located in Mullumbimby, this bespoke Classical Pilates studio is dedicated to teaching the original Pilates Method developed by Joseph Pilates and originally known as Contrology. The Method brings body and mind together through principles including control, concentration, precision, strength and purposeful movement.

That distinction shapes how Pilates is taught at Mint.

Rather than concentrating solely on the Reformer, sessions draw upon the broader Classical Pilates system, allowing exercises and different pieces of apparatus to work together as originally intended. Teachers are comprehensively trained in the Classical Method, with ongoing education supporting a deeper understanding of the work and its lineage.

The studio itself reflects the same commitment. Mint is equipped with specialist Classical Pilates apparatus from respected manufacturers including Pilates Designs by Basil in New York and Legacy Pilates Apparatus, with equipment designed around the dimensions and intentions of Joseph Pilates' original apparatus.

For someone new to Pilates, this creates an opportunity to build strong foundations and understand why each movement is being performed. For experienced practitioners, it provides somewhere to deepen their practice and explore more of the complete Method beyond familiar Reformer exercises.

At Mint, quality of movement comes before simply moving more.

For anyone curious about Pilates beyond the contemporary group fitness format, Mint offers the opportunity to experience Classical Pilates thoughtfully taught in the heart of Mullumbimby.
