Why Pilates: move better, feel better

Controlled, integrated movement designed to improve your ability to stabilise, strengthen, stretch & re-balance muscular recruitment patterns throughout the whole body 

…helping you to feel stronger, healthier & fit to function in whatever you do.

Why join me for Functional Pilates …and the opportunity to use studio equipment?

• Functional & therapeutic focus: especially desirable if you have an injury, health condition or have been referred by a Healthcare Professional (HCP).
• Demonstrable enjoyment & ability in teaching new starters: to help develop increased awareness & connection with your body & movement.
• Opportunity to benefit from spring- assisted Pilates apparatus as well as matwork: this adds variety, challenge or assistance to help you move with greater efficiency, flow & understanding.
• Indivualised to your needs: personal, enjoyable sessions tailored to you.
• Nurturing & motivating approach: learn to feel confident to practice at home or join a larger class if you wish.

Could this be you or someone you know?

• Muscle/joint problems or back pain.
• Acute or chronic health conditions.
• Recovering from injury, surgery or illness.
• Seeking improved mental well-being.
• Adapting to life’s ongoing changes (e.g menopause, pregnancy, ageing, loss).
• Wish to feel more confident before joining a larger class or practicing at home.

Does your Pilates teacher’s training match the UK NHS website recommendations?

• The NHS website advises considering the experience & quality of your teacher’s training, as well as personality & rapport …and states that experienced teachers will have undergone a minimum of 450 teacher training hours.
• The Pilates Foundation, with whom I undertook some of my training, demand these training hours including 100 hours of supervised teaching practice. Hopefully that is reassuring.
