A sanctuary that celebrates your body and its glorious capability to move. Our 45 minutes together will have you feeling like sunshine.
You drive with the winding road along the Maroochy River, when you arrive you are greeted by the studio, nestled amongst neighbouring rainforest.
The sun lights up the valley [a little treat for getting up this morning] as you make your way to class, you may get to say good morning to the resident pups; Sunny and Honey.
Slip off your shoes into your Pilates socks, ready to honour your body, move without distraction [apart from Stef’s bad jokes] and finish feeling oh so good!
We can’t wait to have you at Soleil Studio!
Steffanie Zimmeran
Director/ Instructor
Stef discovered Pilates as a rehabilitative approach to ankle, disk and abdominal injuries she sustained playing sport and post-partum. Gaining back the power from her pain, Stef is passionate about sharing this freedom of movement with anyone who may be recovering from injury, post-partum, or needs a supportive environment to have a laugh and feel strong. Stef knows how it feels to put the pieces back together and can personally vouch for putting in the hard yards.
She established Soleil Studio at the end of 2021 out of the desire to help people live and move the best they can in their everyday life.
Every step of building Soleil Studio has been carefully considered to create the best environment possible for your Pilates journey; and as a safe haven for an inclusive Pilates experience.
Having studied her Diploma in Pilates and worked as a Pilates instructor since 2018, Stef is always upskilling to further her professional development and provide expert knowledge to Soleil’s clients. From working in Pilates studios alongside Exercise Physiologists, Stef has an excellent ability to personalise Pilates to the individual. Differentiating every session to support you to move to the best of your ability. Small class sizes make Soleil a specialised experience where you benefit from supportive, focused movement, strengthening you and helping you to feel free in your everyday.
Sustainability at the heart of Soleil
The studio is a treat in itself. Built to align with our sustainability values, we have solar panels powering the studio, air conditioning for comfort if required, even recycled ironbark timber in the panelling & doors. The water is provided by the tank just outside, so you can enjoy the taste of fresh rainwater when filling your water bottle. You might even find some of Stef’s homegrown fruit and veg for you to enjoy.
Soleil Studio stretches past [pardon the pun] a sustainable structure, Stef has also sourced quality environmentally-considered Pilates equipment, reformers, mats and accessories for a holistic workout experience.
“Stef’s enthusiasm is contagious. She is often just as excited about my progress as I am! Whether in a class or 1:1, she gives you 100% of her attention. Her cues and corrections are always spot on and I always feel that I am beung challenged and improving”.
