Pilates is for EVERY BODY!
People come to the mat for lots of different reasons. Perhaps you can relate:
-
You're fit, active and healthy and would like to lengthen and strengthen muscles and improve the health of your joints.
-
Perhaps you sit for long times, in a car or at a computer, bending/twisting over people
-
You're keen to look after your body and understand the importance of doing so.
-
You'd like to improve your posture?
-
You're a hardcore sports person and would like to enhance your form, power and performance?
-
You once were a hardcore sportsperson and there are parts of your body which need a little TLC....
-
You have an 'old and cold' injury which Pilates will help to improve. (Medical approval required)
-
Perhaps you have an injury and have been referred by a Doctor or Physiotherapist?
-
You're 18 or over... all ages welcome, men and women, anyone who can move.
-
You'd like to meet new people/try something different.

Antenatal/Postnatal Pilates:​​

Please note that I do not currently host postnatal or antenatal classes
Please contact Liz Knowles, Winchester Wellness or Gemma Nash Yoga for amazing Pregnancy Yoga classes.

It's worth noting....
​
Pilates is a very precise exercise - it requires deep concentration and great proprioception. Pilates is about the quality - not necessarily the range of movement. It's being in complete control of that movement - isolating the movement and ultimately ensuring every single other area in the body remains stable and still so the targeted areas can be optimally mobilised. To many people, it may initially appear easy and straight forward - I can assure you, finding those connections and the precise area requiring attention without compromising anywhere else in the body, takes a surprising amount of effort. A helping hand from a good teacher will open your eyes to this.
​
We welcome everyone (18 years plus).
​
Finally, like with all exercise regimes, we suggest you seek medical approval before commencing anything new. Sometimes written consent may be requested.
