Beyond Movement
Courtney Barrow
Founder & Instructor
Hello I'm Courtney! The one behind all of this - a dream of mine for a very long time is about to happen.
Understanding the back story ......
Dancing since the age of 3, with dance being my entire world, I trained and performed with Industry Leading Dance Companies in Melbourne from the age of 13!
After completing Year 12, I studied full-time dance in Melbourne obtaining my CertIV in Dance. With hopes of always becoming a Professional Dancer, the day after graduating from my course I obtained a very serious shoulder injury/condition requiring surgery and a lengthy recovery process! This suddenly changed my entire perspective, trajectory and focus, and I believed it all happened for a reason!

From here, my understanding of the body, injury prevention, education and safe dance/exercise practice took my priority. Having been a Dance Teacher from a young age, I further obtained my CertIV in Dance Teaching and Management - as well as my CertIV in Training & Assessing allowing me to deliver VCE/VET dance.I use to do Pilates every day to help my shoulder, which is where the love, appreciation and passion for Pilates started!
Choosing to study Pilates allowed me to combine my 2 worlds into 1 super happy world! Completing my Mat-work, Reformer, and Barre Certificates, and short courses (ball, band, meditation, pregnancy and injuries) gave me the best knowledge to teach at lots of different studios for many people for the last 2.5 years.Joining my 2 worlds together under 1 roof, with the dream of creating a beautiful space that you WANT to go to, a welcoming and kind atmosphere, where you can focus on your self because simply, everyone deserves to move their body!I'm so grateful for every single message, question, drop in's, 1:1 session and class bookings!
I can't wait to share my entire world and passion of movement with you.
