Many of the aches, stiffness and frustrations we associate with ageing aren’t simply about age.
They’re often about movement.
When we stop moving well, our bodies become less comfortable.
When we move regularly and appropriately, amazing things can happen.
Many of our members notice:
✓ Less stiffness
✓ Better balance
✓ Improved flexibility
✓ Increased confidence
✓ Stronger muscles
✓ More comfortable movement
✓ Greater independence
✓ Better quality of life
Not overnight.
Not through intense workouts.
But through consistent, guided movement that works with your body rather than against it.
Our introductory offer gives you the chance to experience Pilates for yourself without committing to a membership straight away.
Come along, meet the community, discover how the classes work and see how your body responds.
Many members tell us they notice subtle improvements after just a few sessions.
Better posture.
More confidence.
Less stiffness.
A little more ease in everyday life.
You don’t need to be fitter.
You don’t need to be more flexible.
You don’t need to wait until things get worse.
You simply need a starting point.
Let’s find one together.
Many of us have a ‘strong side’ and ‘weak side’ to our bodies. Though not a problem in the short term, it can cause muscle imbalances in the long run. By balancing your muscular strength, you can significantly reduce the risk of injury and improve your overall coordination.
Here’s a little secret. You don’t have to do 100’s of sit-ups every day to get abs. In fact, that could do more harm than good. Pilates increases the strength of your core, which improves your muscle toning. This is particularly effective around your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks. If you’re looking for that little extra toning, pilates may just be your solution.
Stress is an epidemic in the modern world. People are so caught up in jobs, social media and general life that they forget to take a step back. The breathing techniques used in Pilates are a great way to deal with stress and help you wind down. They help you to live in the present moment, without a care for the outer world. After each session you’ll feel stress leave your body, leaving you in a state of peace and relaxation.
Pilates is a great way to get your exercise in without putting too much strain on your body. It’s great for all age groups and can be adopted at any point in your life. Whether you already have an exercise routine or you want to jump back in, pilates will be a great addition to your current lifestyle.
WILL PILATES HELP WITH MY ONGOING PAIN OR INJURY?
Yes! It’s wonderful for rehab of an injury and can help prevent future injuries by correcting imbalances you may have. If you have a medical condition we can ensure that you are safe when you start practicing. So whether you have a work or sports injury, or want to start moving after not doing any exercise for years, Pilates can definitely help.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR AND BRING WITH ME?
Leggings or tracksuit bottoms with a comfortable top are perfect Pilates clothes. Shorts or leggings in the summer. I do prefer you to wear socks if possible.
Ideally a mat although I do have spare for your first few sessions.
Beginning your Pilates journey doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated.
HOW SOON WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Many people say that they feel better after just one session!
It really depends on what results you are aiming at, if you have exercised recently and how you are feeling at the start.
I specialise in ensuring that whatever your starting point is, you will feel more flexible, be able to move easier and stronger very quickly.
I do a 4 week initial course so people can give it a good go for a few weeks, and get used to some of the moves we use.
I'M OVER 50, CAN I STILL DO PILATES?
Yes! Teaching the over 50 is my speciality and I would love to show you how much it can improve your wellbeing. My classes are a lovely community, which people really love, so not only are you getting stronger, you are made to feel very welcome.
