Are you looking for an exercise routine to help with a specific area of fitness, which requires 121 coaching, as opposed to a general class workout?
OR, would you like to know which exercises to prioritise for better alignment and ease of movement, based on assessment?
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. It takes the guess work out of exercise, and provides a good starting point towards moving better .
2 . Pilates Reformer training for beginners, in person 1 hour sessions. The pilates reformer adds resistance and precision to movement. It works all major muscle groups bringing about better alignment and posture. The reformer is raised a couple of feet from the floor, so anyone not able to get to a mat is still able to practise pilates.
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.
3. Pilates with weights – including dumbbells with the pilates moves, adds bone density and muscle mass gains, particularly important for us ladies over 50! I’m not a gym enthusiast, so I designed the pilates weights workout to provide an alternative for people like myself, who want to strength train outside of the gym environment , whilst getting all the other benefits from pilates.
I look forward to helping you to keep moving freely.
