COMPLETE BEGINNER PILATES

 

A comprehensive class that will teach you the very basic Pilates principles

 

If you've never participated in Pilates before or you are a relative beginner, this comprehensive course is just for you.

 

A fully inclusive, welcoming and friendly group, the class is limited to 14 participants, so I can correct technique on an individual basis.

​

Firstly, we will concentrate on the fundamentals of Pilates; centering, lateral breathing, correcting body alignment and then each week we will work through a series of exercises that will help to increase your strength, mobility and flexibility, whilst concentrating on correct technique, body alignment and posture correction.

​

By the end of the course I can guarantee you will have a very sound knowledge of every aspect of Pilates and will be more than ready to move onto an Improvers class. 

Yoga Class

IMPROVER PILATES

 

Increase your flexibility, mobility. Work on your balance, core strength and start to feel fitter and stronger

​

​

This class is suitable for those who have completed my Complete Beginner Pilates course, have done some Pilates before and who have a good knowledge of the Pilates Principles. 

​

*If you have never done Pilates before I recommend you joining my Complete Beginner Pilates class

​

Each course will always start with a complete and thorough refresher of the basic Pilates Principles.

​

I will adapt each exercise, working at different levels; strong beginner and improver to suit each individual.

​

If you want to stay at strong beginner level for the whole course and work on your technique, that is absolutely fine. However, if you feel ready to challenge yourself, we can adapt each of the exercises so that you leave the class feeling challenged. 

​

The exercises you do will help to increase your strength, mobility and flexibility, whilst concentrating on correct technique, body alignment and posture correction.

​

**If you are looking for advanced Pilates, this class is NOT for you**

Dance Class

PILATES CONDITIONING & PILATES X

​* Previous Pilates knowledge not needed* ​

​

Get stronger, more toned, improve your cardiovascular system, balance, co ordination, core strength and flexibility in this low impact, but highly effective class.

​

Perfect for women post 40. Both classes focus on the following

​

Low Impact Cardio - Heart health

Strength and Power - Bone and muscle strengthening

Core - Back and abdominal strengthening ​

​

What's The Difference Between Pilates Conditioning and Pilates X? ​

​

PILATES CONDITIONING

​

Pilates Conditioning is cardio and strength focused

This class has 30 mins of low impact cardio

A great class if you want an all rounder. Cardio, strength and core. See below 
 

Warm up - 5 mins

Low Impact Cardio - 30 mins

Strength and Power - 7 mins

Core - ​ 8 mins

Stretch - 5 mins

​​

PILATES X

​​

Pilates X is strength and traditional Pilates and core focused

This class has 21 mins of low impact cardio

It's a great class if you want a little cardio, but mainly want to focus on strength, toning and Pilates. See below

​​

Warm up - 5 mins

Low Impact Cardio - 21 mins

Strength and Power - 7 mins

Pilates and Core - 17 mins

Stretch - 5 mins

​

Both classes are perfect for all women, but it's a real game changer to those 40+

I've designed both of these classes so that you get everything you need from your fitness class as you head into and are in Menopause; cardio, strength, flexibility, mobility, balance, core and stress busting

​

They are also completely low impact so no jumping (unless you want to)

​

By using the Pilates method throughout, you'll also be working on your breath, mobility, flexibility and balance. This will help you to deal with stress better

​

We will use weights in the class, but this is optional. I encourage you to start slowly and work up when you feel ready. We also use many other Pilates props and everything (other than you Pilates mat) is provided. ​​​​
