I have been teaching Pilates now for over eight years and teach a mixture of group mat work classes, chair based classes and one to one sessions. I trained with Body Control Pilates, Europe's largest professional Pilates organisation and as such adhere to their code of practice covering teaching standards and continuing education. All of my classes are limited in size to a maximum group of twelve enabling closer supervision and feedback. I also tailored all of my classes to individual needs such as my popular Pilates for bone health class which is suitable for clients with Osteoporosis and Osteopenia. Another example of this is a half seated, half standing class, for older adults where we work on functional exercises to help with; posture, strength, balance and flexibility. Pilates is ideal for first time exercisers due to its slow and controlled approach and many clients find the focus on the precision of movement and co-ordination with breath to be both mindful and relaxing.
