Group Mat Classes
I blend traditional Pilates exercises with modern biomechanical techniques exploring how the body moves through kinetic chains to build strength, balance and awareness. In classes we use a variety of small equipment, you may of heard of the magic circle, foam roller, flex band and exer soft ball and we use weights.
We follow the 6 original principles of Pilates which are:
Breath - breathing with movement
Centre - working from our core
Concentration - focused movement
Control - mindful deliberate movement
Precision - attention to detail
Flow - seamless and efficient movement
Classes are of mixed abilities where exercises can be up or down graded to suit you. There are up to 10 people in a group. You can try your first class for £10.50 and then there is a course commitment thereafter.
Why do I have to commit to a course?
The key to any movement programme is consistency, you need to be practicing Pilates at least once a week to see a benefit. Dipping in and out of pilates will not see an improvement, signing up to a course shows commitment to wanting to move better and gain strength.
Do I need any kit?
You'll need your own mat and a cushion/sitting block to get you started, if you have a tennis or spiky ball bring that aswell as we massage the plantar fascia of our feet while we wait for everyone to arrive. After a while you may want to get a stretchy band and 7 or 8" exer soft ball as we use these often
