Discover the PracticeThe Philosophy
Movement should feel like coming home — grounded in your body, free in your expression, alive in your groove.
Grounded Groove was born from a simple belief: that Pilates doesn't have to be quiet and controlled to be transformative. By weaving somatic awareness with the irresistible energy of disco, funk and groove, we've created a practice that honours the body's intelligence while celebrating its joy. This is Pilates with a pulse.
Meet Your Guide
With years of experience as a Pilates instructor and a lifelong love for dance, Polly created Grounded Groove to bridge two worlds: the somatic depth of mindful movement and the uninhibited joy of the dance floor.
Teaching across Melbourne's most loved studios, Polly brings a warmth and realness to every class. Her approach is intuitive — guided by what the body needs, not what the ego demands. Whether you're building strength from the ground up or losing yourself in a groove, every session is an invitation to reconnect.

The Practices
Every body moves differently. Every day asks for something different. Grounded Groove offers three distinct practices — each rooted in somatic awareness, each with its own rhythm.
Strength · Sculpt · Foundation
Built from the ground up. Deep Groove is where somatic awareness meets serious strength work — slow, intentional, and deeply challenging. Think heavy bass lines: steady, grounding, and impossible to ignore. Every rep is a conversation with your body, building resilience through connection rather than force.
Rhythm · Flow · Expression
This is where the disco ball drops. Golden Groove fuses somatic Pilates with free-flowing, dance-inspired movement — think fluid transitions, rhythmic sequences, and the kind of joy that makes you forget you're working out. Bring the funk, find the flow, let your body lead.
Somatic · Restore · Ground
The deepest cut on the album. Slow Groove strips it back to the essence — unhurried, somatic movement that invites you to truly inhabit your body. There's still rhythm here, still groove, but it's quiet and internal. This practice unwinds tension you didn't know you were holding and reconnects you to your most grounded self.

The Experience
Every Grounded Groove class is an experience. The music matters. The lighting matters. The energy in the room matters. We bring the atmosphere of a night out to the intention of a somatic practice — because transformation doesn't have to feel clinical.
Disco, funk, soul and groove — every class has a soundtrack designed to move you from the inside out.
More than reps and sets. Every movement is guided by body awareness, breath, and the nervous system.
A space to feel good, move freely, and connect with others who believe in the groove.
