Pilates
Thanks for visiting this page!
I’m afraid that I’m not running any classes at the moment because I’m about to go on maternity leave (November 2018).
Pop your details into the box below and I’ll give you a shout as soon as I’m up and running again!
In the meantime, have a read of my blogs and check out this fab article on how I got into Pilates.

What is Body Control Pilates?
By working on the deep architectural structure of the body, 'core stability' is achieved, and then maintained, through increasingly complex movement sequences. Specific problem areas can be targeted by an exercise, but always in relation to the rest of one's body.
Your body awareness is heightened by bringing together mind and body - Pilates teaches you to be in control of your body, allowing you to handle stress more effectively and achieve relaxation more easily.
,p> The Body Control Pilates Method can work for everyone, regardless of fitness level! Exercises can be mat or machine-based, but matwork exercises have a great attraction in that they need no special equipment, and are particularly safe for those with back problems (and don't forget that 95% of the UK population has, or has had, backache). Its consistent success rate in solving such problems has brought it to the attention of osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists and homeopathic doctors
Types of Classes
Beginners Pilates Classes
These classes are designed for clients that are new to Pilates or for those who have had a break from their Pilates practice.
Within the Beginners class you will be taught the fundamentals of Pilates and be taken through different exercises in a variety of positions. We will also concentrate on recruiting the correct muscle and joint movement to minimise injury from occurring. You will be instructed at a slower pace to ensure you get a clear understanding of the required movement patterns.
Once you feel comfortable with the beginner exercises and are ready to progress you will have the option to move into an Improver class.
Improver Pilates Classes
Based on the fundamentals and movement patterns you have learnt from the Beginner classes attended, the Improver classes will move you to the next level of exercises. We will continue to focus on the technical aspect, progressing onto more challenging exercises once you are able to perform the previous level provided.
The great thing about Body Control Pilates is the vast amount of variations and levels that are provided to guide the client into progressing at their own pace.
Private Pilates Classes
Private sessions are a great introduction to Pilates if you are a novice and would like to get hands-on experience before joining a group session or quite frankly group sessions may not be for you! I would also highly recommend 1:1’s to those who have had injuries. We will take the sessions at your own pace to enable you to work on specified areas to try to strengthen and alleviate existing pain.
