We were made to move
Striving & achieving goals and dreams takes effort, but it’s positively worth it. Seek caring guidance, encouragement, kindness and a Teacher who believes in you.
My life work, love of movement & music, fascination with human anatomy in motion, the healing connection of brain, body and breathe and passion to help and make a difference to my clients lives, underpins every APT experience. I want to inspire you to understand yourself on a deeper level, embrace and celebrate you and support you to become your healthiest, strongest, most aligned inside and out, version of you.
By accessing new specific movements, we can begin to unravel finding our body’s centre. The closer you move around your centre the less effort-ful and the more effort-less it becomes. This creates a new choice & freedom to move well to BE well. Releasing pain and finding joy.
APT methods
You always have a choice
Live Online + recordings
APT’s flexible online programs are convenient, time effective and designed to become part of your routine in a way that enhances the quality of your life. It’s not just WHAT you do but HOW you do it.
Live sessions are interactive - so you receive helpful feedback and key learnings - the recordings are included in your booking and allow you at least 3 days to access anytime 24/7 & to suit your life.
APT Community are offered Class recordings in the term breaks/holidays. As an incentive to keep going these are often FREE when signing up to the next 8-10 week term. Bundles of current class programs. This can feel personal in that they were often in the class live when recording was made - there may be a personal encouragement or correction during the class. The classes can be done with safety and confidence! Term breaks are usually 3 classes with bonus extras. Summer break, a choice library to create a program that can be done away on holidays or at home - the 2023 Summer bundle had 12 Classes in it!
Book casually, by the term or by the week.
Studios
APT's Re-Balance Studio (above) and Studio One are light bright friendly welcoming spaces. We specialise in one on one and private small personalised groups plus a weekly community class that invites locals to move, breathe, strengthen, release and relax at their own pace.

Embracing 50 & Beyond with the Mobility Matters - made to move formulae is one of Andrea’s passions. Private Small Groups are available in the Best Age format (BODYART over 50 module)

APT’s Ultimate week live online + recording access gives flexibility 24/7
NO GYM required! Putting nourishing movement credit into your longevity bank consistently, is as essential as putting nutritional food into your body daily to live. So much to gain - in mindful movement, joy, connection, strength, mobility, relaxation and community!
While I began APT very much as a interactive human face to face experience and enjoyable personal and friendly relationship, the world has changed dramatically in the past few years and from this arose LIVE online + class recordings. This has enabled many to now have new access to wonderful education, methods, mentors, coaches and teachers. To source out that person you can connect with on a deeply authentic and personal level, is very possible via live & interactive online classes.
When the pandemic hit and we were locked down so fast, APT pivoted everything online in 24 hours. APT has never closed - the focus was to look after our community and keep on moving. APT has learned a LOT. Adaptability became essential and it provided new and innovative opportunities with lots of choice!
Since 2021 APT has offered a very balanced combination of both live and online private sessions, courses and classes. Our Small Group Studio model launched in 2014 in a huge well ventilated Studio in Richmond, gives clients personalised expert attention. It has always been a priority for APT clients to feel cared for, safe, understood, seen and heard without any judgement or comparison. Plus fresh new innovative programs every term.
Book in for one week - 3 live interactive classes + 3 class recordings, meaning you can do a class 7 days a week anytime 24/7 and be accountable to show up as well. The Mindful Monday, Express 30 & BODYART programs are the perfect balance for all pillars of health for life.

What will this APT online program give me?
APT’s weekly program addresses all 4 pillars of health - physical, mental, emotional & spiritual. The weekly program offers a balance of 3 LIVE interactive classes + an automatic class recording accessible for the whole week & 3 days for BODYART, that lands in your email box after the live class. Mindful Monday (30 mins), Express 30 Tues (30 mins) and BODYART Thurs (60 mins) This enables 7 days a week 24/7 you can do a class anytime.
