Core Stability, Flexibility & Strength
Pilates is suitable for a wide range of people targeting the deep postural muscles of the abdomen and spine which support and stabilise the core of your body, which will enable your body to work more efficiently with a reduced risk of causing injury.
Pilates works on your core stability, flexibility, strength, mobility of the spine, alignment and coordination, resulting in better posture, lower incidence of back and neck pain, lower stress levels, improved respiratory and circulatory systems and it is also good for back and other injury rehabilitation.
The Pilates I teach concentrates on Joseph Pilates 34 key mat based exercises. To start I focus on the basics of correct alignment, neutral spine, breathing, activating the core muscles, movement of joints, balance and generally retraining the body and the mind to become more body aware.
Once the basics are mastered I add resistance and shorten the rest time to make the exercises more challenging. Results in tone and shape typically take around three to six months. If this seems like a long time the important thing to remember is that Pilates is primarily about achieving long-term physical health and wellbeing.
Group Pilates I run both weekly Face to Face and Online Pilates classes, with an additional themed class once a month. I also record a number of these sessions so you can catch-up if you miss a class or fit in an extra one!
