PILATES BASED WORKSHOPS
I offer an amalgamation of knowledge that comes from my experience working as a professional contemporary dancer and choreographer, Pilates teacher and BMC® teacher.
Each method informs, influences and shapes the other therefore what you experience is unique, because it is a personal blend curated over 37 years of practice.
PILATES BASED CLASSES
Monday/Wednesday/Thursday
​
Classes focus on improving movement and awareness through Pilates based exercises, movement re-education and re-patterning, equipment-based work and anatomy. You will experience improved flexibility and mobility, better co-ordination and balance, increased strength and stamina, and a deeper knowledge and awareness of your body. Grab this opportunity to move, open your joints, release tension, strengthen your muscles, and create balance from within.

PILATES REFORMER MACHINE SESSIONS
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
​
The Pilates Reformer’s moving carriage and variable spring settings create a myriad of opportunities for working with the body. Movements performed on a reformer with its specialised springs and pulleys are perfect for creating greater strength and flexibility, improving balance and coordination, increasing breath capacity and maintaining posture. Sessions can focus on the whole body or on specific areas that need attention. Sessions are offered 1:1 only and being a more intense experience, 30 and 60 minute sessions are offered.

AUTUMN FOCUS
​
Balance
​
​Pilates offers effective techniques for balancing the left and the right sides of the body.Imbalances can occur due to habits, dominance, injury protection and injury compensation.
​
This autumn we will explore the differences between the two sides of your body and learn simple concepts to help you re-balance.
By focusing on specific muscles and incorporating stretches and strengthening exercises, you can achieve better equilibrium, stability and movement.
​
Learn how to balance your body and your brain!
Balancing the left and right sides of the body is essential for overall well-being.
Whether you’re an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or simply want to improve your daily movement, Pilates offers effective techniques to address imbalances.
​​
Understanding Imbalances:
Our bodies naturally have dominant sides due to handedness, habits, or past injuries.
Imbalances can lead to discomfort, reduced performance, and even injury.
Common examples include a stronger arm from writing or a weaker hip due to an old injury.
​​
Unilateral Exercises:
Pilates incorporates unilateral (one-sided) exercises to correct imbalances. These exercises focus on strengthening the weaker side and training the brain to lead with it. For instance, practicing movements with your non-dominant leg or arm helps create symmetry.
​​
Benefits of Unilateral Training:
Improved core stabilization: As one side moves, the other stabilizes, engaging your core.
Reduced pain: A more balanced body leads to less strain and discomfort.
Better injury prevention: Symmetry minimizes the risk of overuse injuries.​​
