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 done some Pilates before and who have a good knowledge of the Pilates Principles. 

Pilates is not just about getting a strong back and core. We will work the whole body. You will strengthen the whole body whilst learning correct body alignment, core control and posture.

I will adapt each exercise, working at different levels to suit everyone

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

I've designed all of my classes so that you get everything you need from your fitness class as you head into and are in Midlife; strength, flexibility, mobility, balance, core and stress busting.

By using the Pilates method throughout, you'll also be working on your breath, mobility, flexibility and balance.

Group Fitness Session

Complete Beginner Pilates

* Previous Pilates knowledge not needed* ​

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.
