Motion and Repose

Miriam is nothing short of incredible. For several years she was the Training Director at Barre Body (my business), inspiring and mentoring our team of over 70 teachers and delivering teacher trainings to aspiring teachers. Everyone who is lucky enough to experience a little of Miriam's magic comes away from their time with her in awe of her intuition, creativity, kindness and beautiful way that she imparts information. If you are thinking of training with Miriam or becoming a private or class client, you will thank yourself a million times over for the investment in your body and life. She's soul and body magic!- Barre Body FounderEmma Seibold

Miriam is an amazingly sunny human who makes you feel physically and mentally great after a session with her. Her pilates instruction style is really dynamic and fluid so it never feels too regimented (she'll still gently let you know if you could be moving in a better way of course). The space she works from is lovely and calming too. I highly recommend a session with Miriam, she'll be one of the most positive influences in your life!

Miriam is one of those rare teachers that has the ability to impact your life in more than one way. Sure, your body will feel better, stronger and more vital after a session but your heart will feel happy too! Miriam has the ability make you feel valued and heard all while creating a process of movement that is right for YOUR body. It helps that she has a great sense of humour and knows how to have fun, so sessions are positive and constructive.I first started working with Miriam about six years ago while trying to recover from back pain and have continued to seek out her classes across Melbourne in the years that follow. To be able to visit her space for 1:1 or duo sessions with my husband is an absolute win for Coburg.

Miriam is an incredibly attentive and knowledgeable instructor. I have attended her studio and mat classes. In each I have felt challenged, yet supported and always left feeling taller, stronger, more aware and ready to take on my day. Miriam has also mentored me as instructor and helped deepen my understanding of efficient and intelligent cuing and sequencing.

Miriam is one of those teachers who’ll change your life, maybe even without knowing she has. Everything is a solution and her gentle encouragement pushes your body and your mind into places you never thought possible. A beautiful surprise. Her knowledge of the Pilates world is awe inspiring. She is a fantastic mentor, teacher and friend. Just one session has given me confidence in my body and that little “push” to go further than I though I could. Thank you Miriam.

I saw Miriam for some 1:1 private sessions after a long hiatus from excercise. Miriam has an ability to read where your body is at, why it's where it's at and prescribe the exact exercise that your body needs to support itself on a physical and energetic level. Miriam is super supportive, non judgemental and understands the body in a way that most practitioners simply cannot.

I’ve known Miriam since 2003 (or there abouts) when she taught me Pilates and we have since become good friends. She is a brilliant teacher and mentor. I’m so pleased to see she has opened her own studio. Good luck Miriam! And go do her class. It’s always a good decision.

Miriam quickly identified how i could get my body moving the way I wanted it to. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of her knowledge and love her easy going nature. She was able to make slight changes which have made a lasting improvement. After several comparitively less helpful physiotherapy visits, I found that seeing Miriam even for a few sessions has left my body feeling a lot better even 1 month down the track since my last visit. I would recommend her to anyone.

I highly recommend a 1:1 session with Miriam. Her care, knowledge and ability to know exactly what your mind and body needs, has you leaving her studio rejuvenated. Her mentoring sessions leave you wanting more. They make you feel like your chatting with your best friend, favourite teacher and the Dalai Lama all rolled into one! Miriam has a way of asking questions that gently nudge you in a direction you didn't even know you were heading. A true Pilates guru and genuine person.

Miriam Jones is one of the most inspiring teachers I have met. I have known her since 2014, she has both taught and mentored me over the last five years and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Miriam has helped and inspired me to grow as movement teacher, and has such a wealth of knowledge to share. Thank you Miriam for all your generosity and guidance!
