Group Classes: Learn the Basics, Get Moving, feel your practice Flow!
Introducing our new "Basics", "Move" and "Flow" format of classes, for Beginners to Improvers to Intermediate clients
Pilates Basics – a slow to moderate paced class suitable for all levels, but a must for Beginner clients. The focus is the ABC’s (alignment, breathing and core stability). You will develop an understanding of good posture and learn how to execute basic movements with precision. Exercises from the original work of Joseph Pilates have been broken down into component parts, the resultant preparation exercises being safe and appropriate for the modern body whilst still being extremely effective. Exercises increase in challenge and complexity through the term to keep you challenged both mentally and physically!
* NEW!!! Pilates Move – a moderate paced class that builds upon basic Pilates principles. Ideal for most clients who have attended one term of classes at Basic level, or strong Beginner clients who have a movement background (e.g. dance, gymnastics, yoga, martial arts). Exercises will include those taught in “Pilates Basics” but with added emphasis on moving! Think more reps, or one exercise moving into another to develop stamina. New exercises will also be introduced to provide a stepping stone for those wishing to later progress towards Intermediate “Flow” classes. Equally, classes are perfect for those who enjoy “Basics” but want an extra challenge!
Pilates Flow – a pacey, flowing class geared towards strong Improver/Intermediate practitioners who can perform “Basic” exercises with ease and precision. 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 will challenge your stamina, endurance, coordination and concentration. Exercises assume a good level of fitness and flexibility, will include inversions and will take the body through multi-directional planes of movement: please do not book into these classes if you are a Beginner practitioner or have a serious injury
Plus...
Pilates with Small Equipment - a challenging equipment based class utilising lots of “small” equipment, such as the familiar toning 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! Aimed at strong Improvers and Intermediate level clients
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
Healthy Back Course - a popular course designed to help prevent and manage back pain and taught by specially qualified Body Control Pilates teachers. These 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
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!
