Pilates
Pilates aims to strengthen the body in an even way, with particular emphasis on core strength to improve general fitness and wellbeing.
Practitioners say regular pilates can improve posture, muscle tone, balance and joint mobility, as well as relieve stress and tension. For elite athletes, including dancers, pilates can complement training by developing whole-body strength and flexibility, and help reduce the risk of injury.
Mat Pilates
One to one Pilates sessions are completely tailored to the needs of the individual. It starts with an initial private consultation session where we will discuss your experience of your body, it’s needs and goals, before getting you moving.
Reformer Pilates
Classes will include some matwork as well as use of the Pilates reformer, combining breath and movement in each exercise. There is no need to have prior experience of Pilates, just a willingness to give it a try!
Pre/POST-NATAL PILATES
Pre and Postnatal Pilates is a safe form of exercise for new and expectant mothers, aimed at promoting body alignment, improving posture, regaining strength, developing your core muscles and overall fitness. These improvements can in turn help to reduce/avoid back, neck and shoulder tensions and injuries as well as safely help to support regeneration of the abdominal tissue for those with diastasis recti (abdominal separation). These classes are specifically designed for the postpartum body—and that includes women who have undergone both vaginal deliveries and C-sections
Yoga
Yoga is an ancient form of exercise that focuses on strength, flexibility and breathing to boost physical and mental wellbeing. The main components of yoga are postures (a series of movements designed to increase strength and flexibility) and breathing.
