The Founder

Ruby-Mae's Story

Hi, I'm Ruby-Mae, the founder of Motus and your lead instructor throughout this training.
Movement has shaped the entirety of my life. A childhood spent dancing instilled in me something that no formal education could, it gave me the foundation: discipline, body awareness and an understanding that physicality and mindset are not separate disciplines, but inseparable ones. Pilates gave me the precision and eight years of teaching, from Melbourne to Bali, gave me the perspective.
In that time, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of people. I've watched them arrive guarded and leave grounded, stronger in their bodies, quieter in their minds, more confident in how they move through the world. That intersection of the physical and the personal is where my passion for this work lives.
Motus exists because I believe the standard for Pilates education can be higher. Not just another certification, but a genuine transfer of knowledge, anatomy, movement intelligence, teaching craft, built up over a decade and now offered to the next generation of instructors. Everything I have learnt, every hour of practice, every client, every year of refinement, is distilled into this training. I created Motus for people who want to teach exceptionally well, to produce instructors I'd be proud of, people who teach with depth, care and real expertise.
If you're ready to become the instructor you've always wanted to be, this is where it begins. See you in Bali.

Why Motus Exists

There are a lot of Pilates certifications out there. Many of them will give you a piece of paper. Motus gives you something more, the knowledge, the practice time and the environment to become genuinely skilled.
We go deep into the anatomy, movement mechanics and intelligent programming. We teach you to cue with confidence, to read a client's body, to design and program sessions that actually work and we do it all on the beautiful tropical island of Bali. Surrounded by a community of like-minded people, in an atmosphere that's as much about personal growth as it is professional development.
Because I believe that the best instructors aren't just taught, they’re built and this is where that begins.
