Gentle
A more gentle Pilates class focusing on breath, posture and restoring balance within the body. This class moves at a slightly slower pace and will aim to deepen your connection with your body whilst honing in on the ABC's of Pilates - alignment, breath and centring.
​
These classes are also ideal for those recovering from injuries, or for anyone returning to exercise after a period of time away. Also suitable for pregnant and postnatal clients (although I may ask you to attend a 1:1 session with me first if you have not taken a class with me before).
Dynamic
Perfect for those that would like to work at slightly faster pace. Suitable for those with some previous experience of Pilates, or other movement/fitness practice, who are looking to focus in on technique and form whilst enjoying an hour of full body conditioning. This class will begin to introduce a few of the more intermediate exercises so ideally you will be injury free, in this class we continue to reinforce the fundamentals of Pilates whilst adding more strength and endurance based exercises.
Mixed Ability
Gentle but effective full body conditioning class based on Body Control Pilates principles to improve your strength and flexibility, posture, coordination and overall freedom of movement.
​
These classes are suitable for all abilities as the exercises can be modified for any experience level, providing as much of a challenge as your body needs.
​
The focus of the classes will be on creating a sense of balance within the body. We will look at restoring good alignment through our movement, strengthening the deep muscles within the body, and developing core strength to improve stability and posture.
Beginner
Ideal for those who have never tried Pilates before or for anyone that would like to re-visit the foundations of the practice and work on improving technique and form. We will explore the fundamental exercises that form the building blocks of many of the classic Pilates repertoire. We’ll be exploring breathing patterns, good posture and alignment, co-ordination of movement, and improving the stability and mobility of all the joints in the body.
If you have always wanted to know what Pilates is all about, come and give this class a go. The class is kept small to allow each individual to receive personal support and attention throughout the class, allowing for greater understanding of the exercises and a greater knowledge of the Pilates method in general.
Improvers
Perfect for those with some previous experience of Pilates who would like to develop their practice and increase strength and stamina. This class will begin to introduce a few of the more intermediate and classical exercises as well as increasing the pace and encouraging more flowing transitions between the exercises. Therefore having some previous Pilates experience is beneficial.
Intermediate
A dynamic and challenging intermediate level class for those with previous experience of Pilates. With a strong emphasis on movement technique, we will work on core strength, centring, flexibility as well as the quality and control of your movement. We will explore the more classical exercises within the Pilates method whilst still being open to tailoring and modifying the exercises to suit the individuals in the class.
​
​
Contemporary Dance
An open level Contemporary Dance class for those who want to experience the joy of movement in a supportive environment. Each class starts with a gradual warm up followed by a series of movement sequences that each play with momentum, musicality, flow and release. We repeat these sequences week on week, to enable you to dance them freely and confidently. The second half of the class works towards learning a longer routine that we build on throughout the course of a term (sometimes longer).
