Group Classes
Sam teaches the majority of classes but is helped out by some of Body Control Pilates finest instructors. See the Teachers page for more
Pilates Basics - a slower to moderate paced class suitable for all levels, but great for Beginner and Improver clients. The focus is still the ABC’s (Alignment, Breathing and Core stability), but now incorporating other pilates "principles" of Coordination, Concentration and Relaxation. Exercises will increase in challenge and complexity through the duration of the term with view to developing "Stamina" (the seventh principle of pilates!). Strong Improver and Intermediate level clients will still benefit from attending these classes as the emphasis is on quality movement firmly rooted in good biomechanics, vital to performing advanced exercises correctly and with ease. Limited to 12 clients per class
Pilates Flow- a more upbeat, flowing class geared towards those with a good understanding and grasp of Pilates Basic "Principles" (Alignment, Breathing, Core Stability, Coordination, Concentration and Relaxation) and are able to perform “basic” exercises with relative ease and precision. Flow exercises prepare the mind and body for the classical work of Joseph Pilates and broadly follow the format of the "classical mat", but with variations to reflect the needs of the modern body. These classes work on the final two principles "Stamina" and "Flowing Movement" and as the exercises begin to flow, your Coordination and Concentration will be tested too. Exercises may include inversions so please do not book into these classes if you are a new to Pilates or have a serious injury. Limited to 12 clients per class
Pilates Flow + a pacey class aimed at strong Improver and Intermediate level clients who want to be challenged. Based on “Pilates Flow”, this class broadly follows the format of the “classical mat”. Exercises will include a series of inversions and take the body through multi-directional planes of movement so it’s essential that you have a good level of fitness and are free of injury. Limited to 9 clients per class
Pilates with Small Equipment - an equipment based class utilising lots of “small” equipment, such as the familiar circles, balls, bands and weights, but also the much loved Foam Rollers and giant Gym Balls. Led by a creative instructor who will keep your mind and body guessing! Limited to 9 clients per class
Rise & Shine - Rise & Shine with this Saturday morning Pilates class, designed to blow away the cobwebs and set you up for the weekend. Suitable for all levels. Limited to 12 clients per class
Healthy Back Course - a popular course designed to help prevent and manage back pain and taught by specially qualified Body Control Pilates teachers. These 45 minute classes give you a gentle, balanced workout with the focus on strengthening the core muscles that help support your back, improve the quality of your movements and keep your spine flexible and strong. Also great for anyone who wants an ultra-gentle class, or for anyone who suffers with neck, shoulder or hip pain! See About Healthy Back for more information. Course attendees need to have completed a Healthy Back questionnaire before attending their first class. Limited to 10 clients per class
Stretch with Danai (monthly workshop)
Get the most from your regular Pilates practice with a stretch-inspired Saturday morning workshop, aimed at improving your flexibility and range of movement. Led by Danai, a trained dancer, choreographer and Pilates teacher who will help you reach that little bit further!
Pilates for Runners and Cyclists (monthly workshop) - aimed at “recreational” and “serious amateur” athletes, a fun and challenging class to target that all important "core" and to release over tightened muscles (such as hamstrings and inside thighs) that restrict joint range of movement, hinder performance and cause all manner of aches and pains. This class is open to Runners and Cyclists without previous Pilates experience but assumes you have a good level of fitness and are free from serious injury. Limited to 10 clients per class
HIP Pilates® (Power Pilates workshop) - A new summer workshop with Simona! HIP Pilates® is aimed at raising your heart rate and improving overall functionality, strength, mobility and stamina. A non-stop class intended for the hard core Pilates fan, who desire a more intense cardio workout without losing the essence of the Pilates principles. The session is specifically structured to provide an all over body workout. Progressive choreography is incorporated to improve balance and co-ordination. The inclusion of precise functional movement aims to improve overall strength and mobility. The use of weights promises to increase cardio endurance and recovery.
This combination of high energy, up-beat movement with the precision and focus of a traditional Pilates class creates a balanced and fun workout.
