Pilates opens new ways in training your body and the way you think about how your body moves and works for both mind and body.

Pilates in named after Joseph Pilates, who formulated the movements in the 1920’s. There are a total of 34 original Pilates exercises. The Pilates technique has been practiced for many years but has recently had lots of publicity through celebrity endorsement for it’s sculpting and toning purposes and with the sporting celebrities to help improve their performance and protect against injuries.

Pilates is a unique form of body conditioning that focuses on training the body to become longer and leaner like no other exercise. Pilates will balance your body as it works to bring your body in the correct alignment, in turn correcting your posture and strengthening your core muscles, helping you achieve a whole new body shape.

My Pilates participants have many different goals when they attend my classes, some want to have a flat stomach, some come to relieve aches and pains in their neck, shoulders and back and others use Pilates as a class to work alongside their other fitness routines to give them a longer, leaner look and feel.

I get asked this question all the time when teaching Pilates and my answer is “be patient and continue to practice”. I know myself that this fantastic technique can change the shape of your body as I have used this after both of my pregnancies and have never been disappointed. If you are new to Pilates you will see and feel the results even after your first class as it teaches you to stand taller, use your abdominals to tighten your tum and drop your shoulders, immediately making you look and feel so much better.

For you to really see and feel the results (without having to think about it) you should aim for 3-6 months of regular practice, which is why all my courses are for 6-8 weeks and continue to run throughout the year. I have got some ladies in Lincolnshire who have been attending my classes for nearly 5 years as they love the way it makes their body look and feel. Once you start Pilates you will soon see how it becomes part of your life forever.

If you have any known medical conditions, are pregnant or have any chronic joint problems, you should consult your GP before starting any form of new exercise routine.

You don’t need any special clothing for Pilates, just anything comfortable that you can move easily in, we do our classes in either bare feet or socks so no special footwear is needed. It is always good to drink plenty of water so it is helpful to bring a drink with you to class. I provide all mats and any equipment needed so unless you have your own mat that you prefer to use, you are welcome to use the mats provided.
