The first Intermediate/ Advanced Master Class will take place on Saturday 15th September at Newport Village Hall in the ‘Green Room’.
This will be a fast paced and challenging class to improve strength, stamina and athletic performance.
Participants should be free from injury or restriction and some experience of Pilates methodology is preferred but this is not essential if you are currently participating in other sport or exercise.
The class will last for up to 90 minutes, including an optional relaxation element at the end.
Please contact me for more information and to book your place as spaces are limited.
The first Beginner Workshops will take place on Saturday 15th September at Newport Village Hall in the ‘Green Room’. The workshop will last for up to 90 minutes, including an optional relaxation element at the end.
The Beginner Pilates Workshops will introduce you to the basic principles of Pilates and provide you with a short set of exercises to do at home in between the monthly classes.
It is aimed towards anyone recovering form illness or injury, and towards those just curious to find out more about this effective form of exercise.
Content
You will be required to complete a Physical Readiness Questionnaire – you should always consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise especially if you have been unwell or injured.
We will begin at a very low level and you will learn gentle movements to provide a sound basis for further progression if appropriate. Modifications will be shown where needed.
The basic principles of Pilates will be introduced in every class.
You will learn a short program with which to establish your home practise and will have the opportunity to purchase a mat and a CD to assist you with your home work.
I will be available for private lessons and email and telephone help between workshops.
The class will conclude with an optional Stretch and Breathe Relaxation element.
Prerequisites
- You will need to be able to get down onto the floor and up again but if this is not possible, please contact me for guidance before enrolling.
