MAT PILATES
I teach Mat Pilates based on the Classical Pilates method, using both body weight and connections as well as small Pilates equipment to move through our sessions. Whether a class or one-to-one I always start with a comprehensive set-up and mobility phase before moving into the core exercise section.  followed by stretching to safely conclude the movement. Depending on the class I also include a deeply restorative 5 minutes of mindful relaxation at the end. 

I chose to practise Mat Pilates because it makes me stronger, more centred, able and balanced and brings me confidence in my body's abilities and connections. Much deeper than simple conditioning mine is a continuing journey of learning about my body and mind as an integrated whole. 

I teach Mat Pilates to share this experience and help you explore that same strength, confidence and connection. 

One-to-One Mat sessions are a wonderful way to get to know my clients better, hone their techniques and celebrate with them as they feel the deep difference in everyday life. By the way the spaniel is not normally part of the sessions!

I get huge job satisfaction from seeing my class Pilatees build their skills, but more than that, just have a giggle and relax in each others' company. 
 
And just to say that at the moment I do not teach Reformer Pilates. It is a great way to practise but I love the accessibility of a mat or even just a carpet or sometimes even your bed to give your body what it needs. 

If Pilates with me feels like it might be what you need right now then do please get in touch.
