Pilates is a form of body conditioning that focuses on strengthening and stretching the whole body. Pilates can help improve posture, muscular strength, mobility, flexibility and breathing techniques as well as help relieve tension and stress. A variety of exercises are performed whilst focusing on technique and control from the core muscles. Each class will have a varied theme and will build upon skills as you learn week by week.
Themes will include:
• Using core muscles effectively
• Practicing lateral breathing
• Practicing muscular strength and endurance exercises
• A working knowledge of how to improve standing posture
• A working knowledge of how to improve sitting posture
• Improving spinal mobility
• Improving balance
• Identifying how to work at a comfortable level depending on your own ability
Your class will be held in our studio where you will benefit from practicing as part of a small group with individual attention.
After this short course you should be able to: Identify your core muscles and be able to use them in exercises; Put the essentials of good posture into practice in everyday life; Practice introductory Fundamental Pilates exercises; Have a working knowledge of some basic stretches that can be used at home as required to relieve everyday muscular tightness.
You will need to be able to follow verbal instructions, observe and copy physical movements and use spatial awareness within a group. Although there is no specific work set outside of the class, students will gain most benefit if exercises are performed regularly and practiced between classes.
