Pilates
I teach a contemporary approach to the pilates method, a fusion of Joseph Pilates moves, spinecare exercises, functional training & relaxation techniques. We focus on the guiding principles of breathing, alignment, centring, control, concentration, precision & flow. Looking to move with ease & grace, stretch & strength. When we can combine these things together, it really makes a magical movement experience.
There are various schools of Pilates, each with its own approach to delivering Joseph Pilates work. I try to make pilates as accessible as possible to everyone - all shapes, sizes, ages, abilities, genders & body condition.
General classes take you progressively & safely towards Joe Pilates original 34 moves. We follow varied & different themes each course. Increasing pace, complexity & content as the weeks go on. All courses carefully planned for success & enjoyment.
Spinecare
Spinecare classes take you progressively & safely through a selection of Pilates movements & exercises aimed to nourish your spine, your mind, your whole body. Carefully planned & slower paced, these classes leave you with a sense of freedom & a feeling of length from head to toe.
Spinecare is suitable for most of us with low back pain, disc issues, osteoporosis, stenosis, spondylothesis, osteoarthritis & other spinal conditions. If you are new to pilates these are a perfect introduction.
