You may have noticed that something new is starting to take shape at the studio…

The upstairs space is taking shape, with our new strength corner and small-group fitness classes coming soon.

Over the coming weeks, we will also be introducing a small, carefully selected retail range at Phoenix — products that support the same philosophy that sits behind everything we do here:

Move well. Recover well. And give your body the right environment to thrive.

This isn’t about filling shelves with hundreds of wasted wellness products you don't need.

The Phoenix store will be a small, considered collection of the things worth knowing about — products and tools chosen because they NOURISH and PROTECT your body without adding unnecessary exposure.

You’ll be able to purchase selected products directly at Phoenix, or order through the Momence app and collect them from the studio.

It started with hydration drinks and Sodii electrolyte powders, but slowly, slowly, you can discover more everyday tools to support your health, recovery and longevity.

The Bikram Revival...❤️‍🔥
Stretching more than your body. Stretching your BELIEF in YOURSELF!

One thing people find curious about Bikram is that we ALWAYS do the SAME 26 postures.

And in the traditional 90-minute class, we do every posture TWICE.

WHY? 🤣

Because repetition is POWERFUL. It provides the foundation to experience these things:

CERTAINTY
You know what's coming next. So you can stop THINKING so much!
No wondering what's coming. Just listen, breathe and move.

OPPORTUNITY
The first set let's you explore where your body is at TODAY. Then you get another go! And maybe in round two, you find a little more balance, depth or strength. Maybe you discover you had more in you than you thought.

It stretches more than your body. It stretches your BELIEF in yourself.

PROGRESSION
Because the postures stay the same, you notice something over time:
YOU change.
Balance gets easier.
Your legs and core feel stronger.
Your range of motion improves.
And... this I LOVE...
You learn to BREATHE and stay CALM while something feels really challenging.
A skill that translates into so many other parts of life! 🪷

SURRENDER!
And then there are days when yesterday's "easy" posture suddenly feels impossible. Standing Bow, photographed here, is one of those for me!
Your muscles are tighter. Your mind is doing its monkey thing. You fall out early.

Progress isn't linear. Everything (sleep, stress, hydration, injuries, LIFE!) all come into the room with you.
Bikram teaches you to notice where you're at TODAY, without judgement or comparison. You work with what you've got, in each moment.

Maybe today you push a little.
Maybe you back off.
Maybe just showing up is enough.

Learning to accept where you are, while gently exploring what you're capable of...

That is a beautiful release.

And maybe that's kind of the point. 💛

HOT PILATES HITS DIFFERENT. 🔥

Let's talk Hot Pilates.

Because sometimes we move for mindfulness.
Sometimes we move for longevity.
Sometimes we move because exercise is good for our mental health.

And sometimes...

WE ALSO WANT A GREAT ARSE. 🍑🤣

All reasons are welcome here.

Phoenix Hot Pilates combines Pilates-inspired movement, bodyweight strength, cardio bursts and a heated room to create a workout that's challenging, sweaty and ridiculously FUN.

Expect your:

🔥 Core to work
🔥 Legs to shake
🔥 Glutes to burn
🔥 Heart rate to climb
🔥 Clothes to become significantly wetter

And unlike Bikram, where repetition and stillness are part of the magic, Hot Pilates brings a completely different energy.

Music UP.
Energy HIGH.
Such a VIBE!

And every class is different. Each Instructor brings their own flavour to the core moves.

You'll Plank. Pulse. Lunge. Squat. Hold. Balance. Sweat.

And then the beat drops and somehow you find another 10 reps. 🤣

The goals?
Strong. Lean. Defined. Athletic.
A body that doesn't just look capable...
It IS capable.
And most importantly, JOY.

Because physical gains don't have to come from exercise you hate. We want you to come back, after all!

Come for the abs. Stay for the vibe. 🎶

We promise, this is a workout you will actually look forward to doing.

P.S. If you're looking to get your teens more active, pilates is a great class for them to join. My daughters love it. And juniors

Who's up for a Sunday Session?
Come see us today for a detoxifying sweat and stretch with Bikram 90 .
Then we have the deep release of Sunday Candlelight Yin.
Bliss awaits!
See you on the mat.

P.S. If you're new to the studio, you can get set up with an Intro Pass at the studio - just come 10-15 minutes early. Bring a mat, towel and water bottle, and wear clothes you can comfortably sweat in. For Yin, wear whatever you like (no lycra required!), and if you have your own bolster and eye mask bring those too.

Our beautiful Jaya is an adored member of our community. She regularly teaches at the studio, both Bikram and Yin classes, and her 4.30pm fast Bikram class is a studio favourite - all 26 postures, done twice, plus the breathing exercises, in 60 minutes! What a workout!

I recently asked her these three questions:

1. What's your favourite class to teach, and why?

"I love teaching all of the classes. Bikram 60 minutes, 90 minutes and Yin all bring something unique and challenging in their own ways. What I love most about these classes is not just the physical aspect but how it transforms everyone that comes."

2. What benefits can people expect by coming to these classes?

"People can come in not feeling so good and leave feeling completely different and I love that I can help change that in only a short period of time. My job is to create a space for people to come to heal so they feel comfortable and safe enough to move their bodies and restore balance within themselves. There’s a lot of sweating and intense moments with the Bikram classes but it is absolutely healing for your spine. As we age this is soo important for longevity. Yin is incredibly restorative and hydrating for the body as it builds collagen and complements any practice."

3. There are so many yoga & pilates studios on the Sunshine Coast. Why should people choose Phoenix above all the rest?

"What I love the most about Phoenix is the warm community. People from all walks of life no matter what age, come together to uplift and support each other. It’s like my second home and I love that feeling. And I love that Phoenix offers a diverse range of classes that goes far beyond fitness routines. It’s the whole package, mind, body and spirit!"

And here's a picture of Jaya, practising what I find to be one of THE MOST CHALLENGING Bikram poses, with such grace and ease. This is what years of disclipline, dedication, consistency and patience can do! Amazing Jaya. Thanks for everything you bring to Phoenix.

THE BIKRAM REVIVAL 🔥

Nearly 30 years ago, I went to my first Bikram yoga class.

I didn't know it was Bikram.
I didn't really even know there were different kinds of yoga.

I was a uni student from suburban Brisbane, raised by blue-collar parents, and a friend was teaching yoga in a cheap, non-heated classroom.

Because Bikram was supposed to be hot, she'd shut every window and encourage us to generate as much body heat as humanly possible.

😂

And strangely enough, I loved it.

I loved learning the same sequence.
I loved knowing what was coming next.
I loved noticing the micro progress, week to week.

About a year later, a proper Bikram studio opened in Brisbane. I went to their open day and finally experienced the practice as intended:

🔥 Hot.
💦 Humid.
🥵 Sweaty.

And WOW. Bam!

The heat allowed me to explore the postures differently. The repetition quietened my brain. The whole thing became a kind of moving meditation. And I REALLY loved how my body felt afterwards.

Afterwards they put out a giant fruit platter and I swear fruit has never tasted so good in my life (even during my other brief dalliance with the fruitarian lifestyle). 😂

Life then took me away from Bikram, into snowboarding, surfing, Ashtanga yoga, Hot Pilates, weights, a brief dalliance with trail running, Latin dance, and all sorts of other movement.

I've loved them all. But somehow, I kept coming back to Bikram. Because nothing else hits me quite the same.

The sweat.
The stretch.
The strength.
The breath.
The discipline.
The progression.
The impact.
The stillness.

And somehow, nearly 30 years after that first makeshift class... I now find myself owner-operator of the longest-running Bikram studio on the Sunshine Coast?! The Grandfather Studio ❤️ of Bikram. How... I'm not quite sure.

I'm not a Bikram Yoga teacher, and currently have no plans to become one. But I LOVE what Bikram can do for people. And that's why I'm here - to facilitate those transformations.

There are deep roots here. Incredible instructors. Decades of experience. A humble, grounded community.

Warmth. Laughter. Sweat. Connection. Joy.

And guess what. It DOESN'T SMELL! (More on that later.)

Bikram has had its controversies over the years. But the practice itself? I think it's time we talked about it again.

Over the coming weeks I'm going to share why this strange, sweaty sequence has survived for so long — and what it can offer bodies in their 20s, 40s, 60s and beyond.

🔥 The Bikram Revival is here.

Come get sweaty with us.

P.S. If you're keen to try it out for the first time, our Spring Challenge could be for you. It's simple, and anyone can participate. PM me for details. 🪷

One of our longest studio attendees, Ross, has this to say about his experience of Phoenix:

Your favourite class? "My favourite class is Pilates."
What you have experienced by attending class consistently? "My biggest improvement is strong core."
What do you love about Phoenix? "I love the kindness of everybody at Phoenix."

Ross has been coming to the studio for many years, and has barely aged in all that time. It must be all the hot pilates and yoga keeping him fit, strong, healthy and remarkably ageless! That, together with his faith, keeps his body, mind and spirit as remarkable as his personality. Ross, you are so loved!

(Disclaimer: I didn't have a close-up of Ross's abs, but this shot is a pretty solid match!)
