We are finally back to classes Monday!! It feels like ages since I was teaching but I have only had 2 weeks holiday!! We have been so busy changing the studio, so excited for you all to see it and hope you like the changes 🤍🩶

We have a few spaces left in courses: see below

Why do we run courses in Pilates and not drop ins…..because Pilates is a method not a fitness class, it’s about developing, learning in a structured way that you understand and your body understands. The term Pilates can be used by anyone 🫣it’s not right but it’s unfortunately true. Ask your teacher about their training, who they learnt from, what their heritage is.
One of the things I’m proudest about is having a collaborative studio space where so many friendships have been formed by attending the same class 🤍🩶

If you would like to join we have a few spaces left:

Tuesday 6.00
Wednesday 11.30, 5.20, 6.25

Footwork! It’s using all the principles of Pilates, it’s not about speed, bouncing, foot position is key and how you move from the ankle, knee and hip. It’s an important start to the Pilates workout…..and it doesn’t exist just on reformers!! 🤍🩶

** Videos are sped up - reformer x2.4, Cadillac x2 & Chair x1.8

Why do we run courses?
We run in courses to provide structured learning. It takes time to truely understand Pilates, what you are and should be feeling and how to move. Small changes to your posture and movement can make huge differences to how your body reacts and functions in the exercise. This understanding grows with consistent practice, not ad hoc classes. Exercises develop over our course so the challenge and your understanding increase and improve.

Why small classes?
So we can provide excellent tuition. Make sure that everyone is in the right position so you get as much as you can from each class and feel different when you leave the class. Reformer and studio classes, with the exception of arc classes, are for 1-3 people. You need the guidance to use the equipment and this cannot happen with big classes. For instance having your head in the wrong position will change how the rest of the spine reacts to the movement, and therefore your ribcage position and it goes on….!

Pilates has been around for a long time, it’s not a fad, it’s not the latest thing to tone your body but it needs to be taught properly, with people who understand the techniques. Never be afraid to ask what qualifications your instructor has, where they learnt and how long it took to qualify….🤍🩶
