About Aura
Aura Pilates Studio was established in 2017 and is Geelong’s only fully equipped Classical Pilates Studio.
The Studio operates in an ‘Open Studio’ format which was the original way that Joseph Pilates ran his studio in New York in the 1960’s.
An ‘Open Studio’ encourages independence in learning Pilates. Clients work independently, learning their exercises and progressing through the system of Pilates under the guidance, knowledge, and support from 3rd Generation teacher, Sarah.
Whether you are a beginner, Pilates enthusiast, athlete, or teacher; you will work towards building your skills, strength and understanding of Pilates (aka Contrology) through regular practice within the studio itself or remotely (see Hybrid Studio). Age is no barrier for establishing a practice of Pilates - clients at Aura range from 18 years of age through to 85!

What is Pilates and why do we call it Contrology?
Contrology what Pilates was originally called back when the system was created. Classical Pilates is most closely aligned to the Original Pilates Method, as taught by Joseph Pilates himself.
The system of Pilates is multi-layered and diverse. It is certainly not confined, nor defined, by one specific piece of apparatus.
