Beginners Pilates
| Sunday 18th April 2010 12:00pm-2:30pm 2.5 hours - £25/£22 conc |
A must for new starters who want to get the most out of their classes, great for anyone who has been to a class but didn't "get it". Also ideal for postnatal recovery. We will work slowly through all the pilates principles, particularly the confusing breathing! You should leave feeling relaxed and refreshed, but then feel surprisingly sore over the next couple of days as you'll have really worked those core muscles hard!We will ask you to fill out a questionnaire prior to attending this workshop so that we can tailor the workshop appropriately in advance
Pilates For Cyclists
| Sunday 18th April 2010 3:00pm-6:00pm 3 hours - £30/£27 conc |
More information to follow soon.
This is not suitable for anyone brand new to pilates, you will need to have attended ten plus classes or the beginners workshop first. You can do both workshops on the same day if you wish! It will contain a blend of core exercises and many cycling specific exercises that we don't use during the pilates classes.
We will ask you to fill out a questionnaire prior to attending this workshop so that you can let me know about your running history and any old or new injuries we can tailor the workshop appropriately in advance
Pilates For Runners
| New Dates To Be Announced 3.5 hours - £35/£30 conc |
The questions that I get asked most are in reference to injuries or niggles arising from running and cycling. This workshop has taken a lot of research because the lower leg and lower back injuries we sustain when running are numerous and complex (and a minefield of "bad science").
This workshop is for all runners - brand new to running, easy paced joggers,seasoned marathon runners, it will give you a runners home program that will help safeguard you from injury. Should you already have been injured, these exercises will strengthen and repair, plus reverse any imbalances developed during the recovery phase.
The workshop will give you a runners program for general use and specific exercises to help you recover from injuries to the hip, knee, ankle and foot such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, ITB and piriformis syndrome.

Improvers Pilates
| New Dates To Be Announced 3 hours - £30/£27 conc |
This workshop will be tailored towards those of you who are no longer brand new to pilates, but feel that you have specific areas that you still need to work on, such as "ab prep",or maybe maintaining neutral. Perhaps you have an injury or imbalance that we haven't adequately addressed in class, or you really just want to understand the theory more in order to improve your practice. This workshop will basically be created around those who sign up for it, so the sooner you sign up, the more time we have to make it applicable to your needs. For those of you who are fairly confident but just want to work harder we will look at layering in extra challenges for your body ,which you will be able to use every week in class.

Joseph Pilates' Original Series
|
> |
I have been lucky enough to work on the original series with Lolita San Miguel and Julian Littleford over the past twelve months. Lolita trained directly with and was certified to teach by Joseph Pilates himself. Julian is a world renowned teacher and presenter.
Joseph Pilates intended his pupils to perform his matwork series as a whole without modification. Since his death sports science has move on leaps and bounds which mean that we need to make a few alterations to his original exercises to make them safe for everyone. Pilates was way, way ahead of his time, so had he still been alive today he would have incorporated these modifications himself.
We will go over points of technique and some of the more challenging exercises in the series then after a short break we will go through the Full Series of 35 exercises as Joseph originally intended them to be taught, with a few modifications in line with current sports science.. Open to all levels but not recommended for absolute beginners!!
