About Pilates
Seniors Pilates matwork class Tuesdays at 10:45
This class is for active seniors those who want to start Pilates or to refocus on the basics. It will focus on Pilates principles of breathing and mobility, strength, core, stability and alignment. A great class for beginners and improvers who are looking to increase exercise repertoire and maintain posture and balance. The level of experience will vary in this class and exercise variations will be given to allow for different experience and abilities. We will use balls, bands and other small equipment. Some of the exercises are on the floor but Sharon can adapt the exercises to suit your starting ability.
Expect the first one to run a little over to give us a chance to chat.
Pilates matwork classes Monday and Wednesday evenings
Based on the principles of Pilates these evening classes are aimed at a mixed ability class. For beginners and for those of you that have been practising Pilates for some time and want to take it up a level. These classes will concentrate on emphasising spinal flexibility and stabilisation as well as lengthening and strengthening the body. The aim is a challenging full body workout based on the Pilates principles of core strengthening work, enhanced posture, good alignment and improved stability. Each week Sharon will focus on a body part / joint to greater detail. This will be helped by adding small props such as balls, bands, foam rollers and prickly balls.
