Are you looking for an exercise routine to help with a specific movement problem, which requires 121 coaching, as opposed to a general class workout?
OR, do you feel a bit misaligned or ‘wonky’ , and want to know how to rebalance your asymmetries?!
If so, then you’re in the right place.
“My pilates journey started in 2010 when I was recovering from a spinal injury. The results on both my physical and mental health at the time, were so significant that, a year on I swapped my work as a Landscape Gardener, to train to teach this effective form of exercise.
“I’ve been teaching classes, delivering back health workshops, working 121 and giving talks to community groups in Herefordshire, for the last 15 years and witnessed women and men of all ages improve their quality of movement and general wellbeing , with consistent Pilates practise.”
Whether you are recovering from injury or simply wanting to maintain healthy movement as you age, Pilates offers a low impact, balanced, full body workout to help you keep moving well for longer.
Different options to choose from…
There are three different ways we can work together:-
- One hour posture check/ movement assessment. This is an hour long assessment of your body’s biomechanics, which highlights any muscle imbalances or joint restrictions. Think of it as an MOT for the body! From the results of this, we can identify which exercises to prioritise, to achieve better alignment, posture and ease of movement . Long term this means less wear and tear on joints, more pain free movement for longer and less risk of hip/knee replacements in the future. These assessments takes place at my home in Leominster and includes a helpful follow video of the corrective exercises so you can practise at home. It takes the guess work out of exercise, for maximum physical benefits.
2. A 6 week beginners pilates course which is online. It’s ideal for those who like the flexibility and convenience of exercising at home, but with the reassurance of knowing there’s advice and guidance available too.
Pre-recorded videos are sent out each week which gradually progress you through the basic moves so that by week 6 you have a balanced workout to maintain healthy movement at home, or the confidence to join a class, or both! You’ll learn how to safely and effectively perform the pilates moves, how to engage your core , find neutral spine and breathe!
I’ll be available to support and advise you throughout the programme, and beyond if you wish.
3. Pilates Reformer training for beginners, in person 1 hour sessions. Exercising on the reformer takes matwork pilates to the next level, adding resistance and precision to all the moves. It works all major muscle groups bringing about fast results.
Home reformers are an affordable version of the ‘studio reformers’, making it now available to many more people. I’ll show you how to exercise safely and effectively on it, to get maximum benefit from your workout.
