Like many people I came to Pilates through having back pain due to poor posture, a lack of exercise and a back injury. I was sceptical of how this system of exercise would help my problems but within a short space of time my back spasms became less and eventually stopped altogether and I grew fitter and stronger and for the first time in my life actually enjoyed exercise.
Joseph H.Pilates and William J. Miller published a book in 1945 called Return to Life Through Contrology. This book details many of the exercises and instructions fundamental to the matwork developed by Joseph Pilates. Even more importantly, it outlines his philosophy and over-all approach to his fitness program. He writes about the balance between body, mind and spirit and the book is a fascinating insight to his approach.
The 55 minute classes are booked as part of a six week term. Each term is carefully structured to ensure a systematic progression through the Classical Pilates System, building your strength, stamina and knowledge . Classes are varied through the use of Pilates equipment designed to aid your understanding of the correct muscular initiation and to provide additional challenges. All equipment is provided. As you become familiar with the flow and the order of the exercises we encourage you to practise at home as Joseph firmly believed that ten minutes a day was better than nothing! Classes are strictly graded according to ability and are structured for the healthy body. It is vital that you discuss any concerns you may have before booking a class. Our classes have a wide range of age groups and both male and female attendees. The exercises are based on the Classical Pilates System using contemporary anatomical knowledge to ensure a safe and effective workout. Our classes are NOT suitable for pregnancy.
You will be encouraged to listen to your own body and become aware of your posture throughout the whole class. Pilates requires mental focus to ensure the precision of each movement . The teacher will be constantly checking the class giving you modifications needed or additional chalenges. To us you are not a body but a person who we want to get to know. Our philosophy of listening to our clients and getting to know each individual, has meant many of our clients have stayed with us from the beginning.
