Introductory One to Ones

​

Best practice in (Body Control) Pilates ® suggests that before joining any mat class, a thorough client assessment is undertaken. This, together with taking rigorous medical history, setting goals and understanding motivations, gives me, the teacher, the opportunity to see the following:

 

• your posture - how you stand, how you carry yourself

• how you move, are you hypo or hyper mobile for example? I'll teach you some exercises in a range of positions and we'll see how your body responds

• joints - your normal range of motion

• your existing breathing patterns

​

we'll also cover:

​

• What Pilates is - the fundamental basics and principles of good movement  and the basics

• How you should stand correctly

• Finding your neutral (neutral spine and neutral pelvis -fundamental to Pilates). We want to strengthen your body from the best possible starting position.

• Breathing - how we breathe/when we breathe/why we breathe!

• Centring - using a variety of different starting positions

• Challenging your core stability

• Scapular (shoulder blade control)

• Sequential flowing movements
