Pilates
Pilates is for everyone: People always say to me 'i'm not flexible enough to do Pilates!' Rubbish - you dont need to be flexible you just need to be willing.
If you have an injury we can help you get fit and strong again. Pilates has a strong rehabilative side to its practice.
If you are unfit and want to get toned.
If you want to get your shape back after children or look after the grandchildren easily, and staying strong as you look after them.
If you are an athlete Pilates is wonderful at creating balance so you can compete at your best.
If you have conditions that affect your balance, your back, or your arms we can help.
We have classes for all ages and ability (and energy!) levels.
We work in association with Physios, Chiropractors and consultants.
If you are unsure please contact me.
Thanks Alex
Pre Natal Pilates
Back due to demand!
Pilates is a wonderful way to keep mobile, strong and comfortable during pregnancy.
For both first time Mums and those on their subsequent births. From 12 week scan on wards.
Using a combination of modified Pilates and Pre Pilates exercises to keep you fit and maintain muscle tone, focusing on maintaining balanced posture, functional movements and correct muscle length.
We also do some education on how and why the body changes, and how this affects the way we exercise, the practicalities of birth and what actually physically happens. Also information on post natal exercise.
The exercises are tailored to the stage of pregnancy of each individual. We also finish with a short relaxation/ visualisation exercise to help prepare for birth, techniques to help create and maintain a calm positive attitude to prepare for birth and basic breathing techniques for labour. It is also a very relaxed and informal environment where friendship and mutual support of other Mums to be is important.
The classes are run along the NICE guidelines and RCOG guidelines for exercise during regnancy.
