PILATES
Classes are both online and in person
WHAT is pilates
Pilates is so much more than just a flatter tummy and strong core strength – it's a powerful exercise system that benefits your whole body. A typical class focuses on stretching and strengthening, improving posture, coordination, and flexibility but sessions can be tailored around specific needs or focal points on the body.
WHO is pilates for
Pilates is beneficial for anyone, whatever your age, sex or fitness level. Its simple and low- level approach makes it one of the safest forms of exercise so it’s ideal for women during and after pregnancy. Recommended by osteopaths, physiotherapists and GPs, it is also used for injury prevention, rehabilitation and improved physical health.
BENEFITS
• Improved posture and increased flexibility
• Better circulation and higher energy levels
• Improved core strength and coordination
• Relief from tension and back pain
• Toned arms, thighs, shoulders, back and buttocks
• A firmer and flatter stomach
CLASSES
BEGINNERS – Built around the main principles of Pilates, the beginners class introduces the concepts of control, centering, concentration, precision and breathing and flow. The course is structured so that it builds on each exercise every week, developing your core strength and ability as the term progresses. All equipment is provided.
MIXED ABILITY – A higher level of Pilates, this is aimed at those with some previous experience. During the course we follow the main core principles but the class moves a bit quicker and we get more involved in the exercises using more equipment. Our objective is to build on the intensity and level each week to take you to a more advanced level.
INTERMEDIATE – Aimed at experienced Pilates practitioners looking to maintain their practice and build on their fitness levels. Sessions follow the main core principles but the class moves quickly with increased sequencing and flow.
You can also work with Sarah 1-2-1 or through our 360 online course. Both of which are suitable for pre-natal (pregnancy) or post-natal pilates. Get in touch for details.

CLINICAL PILATES
What is clinical pilates
Slower, focused and bespoke to a group’s individual needs, each clinical session is made up of a diverse range of movements tailored around each person’s limitations and ability. Relaxation is an integral part of clinical Pilates because the body simply can’t heal when cortisol levels are high.
Classes typically include a broad range of age groups and a wide range of reasons for needing a more clinical approach. A course is made up of either a block of 10 x 45-minute sessions with small groups of no more than eight people or a block of five 1:1s.
Who is clinical pilates for
Our Clinical Pilates classes are designed for people who find the mainstream sessions hard to navigate due to an injury or health condition. People are often referred via their GP as part of a broader rehabilitation programme.
