What is the Pilates Method?
Pilates is a slow, no-impact form of exercise designed to help mobilise your spine and joints while strengthening your core muscles. Regular practice can improve your posture and can help to relieve back and other joint pain.
When was the last time you thought about stabilising your pelvis or spine before you moved? Never? You shouldn't have to think about it, however, in modern day life, the human body has become lazy. This has led to poor posture, untoned muscles and increased back and joint pain.
Pilates will help you to re-gain control of your stabilising core muscles, improve your posture and help you to understand how your body SHOULD be moving.
There are face to face classes, 1:1 sessions and small group sessions available, depending on your preferences.
Clinical Pilates is available on a 1:1 basis for those with more severe back or joint problems or other conditions.
Pre and Post natal Pilates is also available on a 1:1 or small group basis.
Reformer Pilates is available on a 1:1 or 1:2 basis. Using the Pilates Reformer machine to add resistance (this can make it easier OR harder!) following a mix of original repetoir and contemporary exercises to bring variation and a new dimension to your Pilates practice.
How is Pilates METHOD different to FITNESS Pilates?
Fitness Pilates is generally a faster paced class, working to music. Usually, larger classes with much less focus on form, technique and the core Pilates principles (Alignment, Breathing, Centering, Concentration, Flow, Precision and Control). The qualification to teach fitness Pilates is a two day (one weekend) course and does not require a level 3 fitness qualification. I do NOT teach fitness Pilates.
Pilates Method by contrast is a much slower,controlled form of Pilates concentrating on technique and the core principles of Pilates originally designed by Joseph Pilates. It is much better suited to rehabilitation and for those with injuries and medical conditions and is usually taught in much smaller classes or on a 1:1 basis.
BEGINNERS PILATES
Pilates can seem a little complicated to start with, and for this reason I encourage people to start with a beginners course, or a 1:1 session, or small group session. This gives you the opportunity to learn at your own pace and ask questions along the way. It also give me as the teacher, the ability to focus on individuals closely and see where I can improve their technique.
Following this you can join any mixed ability class.
