We have a variety of different classes, offering different levels of tuition so you can choose the class that is right for you. It is important from the outset to make your instructor aware of any health or musculoskeletal concerns you have, or anything that may affect your ability in certain exercise positions. Instructors will always offer alternative exercises as well as adaptations or modifications to take account of your individual needs, abilities and concerns.

Mixed Ability 

Mixed Ability is our most popular class. This class is designed for those with some experience or are progressing from one of our beginner classes. The beauty of Mixed Ability is that whatever your level you are, you can come to this class and we will modify exercises to suit you – it can be as gentle or as challenging as you want it to be. If you are unsure about coming to a mixed ability class you might want to try Pilates Lite.

Beginners

This is for people who have never done Pilates before or have not done it for a long time and want to learn the fundamentals before going on to do more. You will learn about your core muscles and how they work when you do Pilates correctly. You will also learn about alignment, posture and how to move using your core. This informative class is taken at a slower pace than our other classes and at the end you will be able to join mixed ability with confidence.

Lite

This class is designed to offer very gentle, steady challenges and progression while still focusing on form, alignment and very much technique.  The class will flow at a slower pace, allowing you more time to master individual exercises and focus on areas you may find challenging. There will be more time to recover in between each exercise allowing you to develop your breathing techniques while benefiting from more hands on adjusting. From Lite you can progress to Mixed Ability when you feel ready, although there is no pressure to move on and some people prefer to keep this as their main class. This is ideal for people who are hesitant to join a Mixed Ability class because they are recovering from injury, surgery or a period of immobility, they may have balance and mobility issues or they may just want a class that moves at a slower pace.

Stretch

This class focuses on mobility and stretching, encouraging full range of movement at all joints. Lots of our clients enjoy this class along side their Mixed Ability class.

One to One

If you have a specific problem or just don't like the idea of joining a class why not try one of our one to one sessions with an experienced instructor? You can benefit from a whole hour of undivided attention and guidance tailored to your level of mobility and your musculoskeletal needs.
