Class descriptions:

Unless otherwise stated, all classes will have a maximum of 12 participants (venue size permitting)

Beginners:

Run as a 6-week course, providing an all-round introduction to Pilates matwork, focusing on the core concepts of alignment, breathing and centring and introducing participants to a range of basic exercises.

Suitable for those with no or very little previous experience of Pilates, who are looking to improve their core stability and functional movement (strength, stamina, flexibility, balance).

Maximum of 6 participants, to ensure lots of individual attention!

Fundamentals:

Progression class for clients who have completed a 6-week beginner course, or who have some limited experience of Pilates and feel they would benefit from going ‘back to basics’ for a few weeks, before joining an improver class.

Improvers:

A mixed ability class aimed at those with previous Pilates experience, who are looking to improve their technique / develop their abilities.

Intermediates:

A more challenging class, for those who are physically fit, injury-free and have previous Pilates experience and a good level of core strength.

Restorative:

A gentler paced, less demanding class, suitable for older adults, or those living with long-term health issues, or recovering from illness / injury.

Maximum of 6 participants, to allow for a higher level of individual support, as needed.

Bone health:

A class focused on maintaining healthy bones; suitable for those with osteopenia / osteoporosis and anyone looking to improve or maintain their bone density as a preventative measure

Maximum of 8 participants.

Please note - to take part in classes:

• Any injuries need to be ‘old and cold’

• I am unable to teach pre- and post-natal women, or anyone with acute lower back pain, or children (under 18 years of age), as these populations require additional specialist qualifications
