Functional PilatesThis session is suitable for all levels, with modifications being offered for beginners, or those with special conditions.
As we get older our bodies can start to become less flexible, and muscles can start to weaken. This class is aimed to give you longevity of mobility through the strengthen of feet, ankles, knees and hips, and the muscles surrounding these joints, whilst keeping at bay the effects that ageing could have on all of our bodies - whatever your age. |
Pregnancy PilatesExercising during pregnancy offers many physical and emotional benefits, including maintaining muscle strength and preventing musculoskeletal problems. Because of the gentle nature of many of the exercises in Pilates, mothers and mother-to-be are increasingly turning to Pilates during and after pregnancy. Pilates exercise during pregnancy will help to relieve back pain, increase labour stamina, improve flexibility, strengthen the pelvic floor and helps mums-to-be relax and unwind.
Pilates was not originally designed for pregnancy, therefore some of the traditional repertoire is not suitable for pregnant ladies. If you wish to practise Pilates throughout pregnancy please ensure you attend classes with a Pregnancy Trained instructor. |
Mother & Baby (Postnatal) PilatesIt comes as no surprise that the woman’s body changes dramatically during the stages of pregnancy and through labour, with pressure on the pelvis causing changes in posture, separated abdominals leading to diastasis rectus, and straining (and weakening) of the pelvic floor muscles.
A postnatal Pilates programme is an extremely safe way for women to return to exercise, 6 weeks after the birth of their new baby. Pilates exercise will target the weakened and stretched abdominal muscles, building core strength and control, as well as helping to restore body confidence and improve overall wellbeing. Bringing your baby to classes means that they can make new friends whilst you meet new mums and share experiences – and if you need to take time out to feed, change or play, that is absolutely fine. New courses start all the time, you can contact me for dates - courses run for 6 weeks. |
