work your arse off!

I love my job! I love teaching classes for beginners as you can see the concentration on their faces  as we go through the hour, finding their sit bones and why they are important, finding their Lats (Latissimus Dorsi) and why its important to use them, finding out why they hold tension in their shoulders and how it can be released, finding their Glutes and how to "switch them on" ...finding out their posture type, how their pelvis is tilted and then of course, the deepest abdominal muscle, the Transversus Abdominals.

 I also love teaching the next level and Intermediates, as we can challenge ourselves a little bit further, going into the harder moves which are so much fun!

Then theres personal training,going to someones house or they come to mine, a 1:1 or a couple of friends sharing an hour, we do different things we don't/can't do in a class situation, using the foam roller, use Franklin balls, use the Combo Chair (at my house) Stability Ball, and they got a more personalised routine, made to fit their posture type and any issues they may have with their back/shoulder/knees or especially Osteoporosis or Scoliosis clients who wouldn't benefit from an everyday mixed level Pilates class.

Then theres Rehabilitation Pilates, I love this too, as you can see the benefits so quickly, and you are dealing with clients who are scared to move, who want to improve, desperate to be stronger, even if its just to be pain free when getting out of bed and walking down the street.

I love all dimensions and aspects of Pilates, sometimes I wish it wasnt called that as not many people know what it means, some who have been attending gym based mass turnout classes arent even aware Pilates was a bloke who created the moves and why he did, but it has become so popular recently, so hopefully the message is reaching more and more people, the benefits being felt in more and more bodies...

and then, once they've discovered the Matwork, theres another few doors to open to discover the Reformer, Wunda Chair, Ladder & Step Barrel, Ped-a-Pul, Magic Circle, Cadillac, Arm Chair..and the moves you can take from some of these to the mat using props like a resistance band and/or a foam roller/small inflatable ball and/or Stability ball.



So come on then if you've never tried it before, learn what your Psoas is and why its so important to your body and how it will make you stronger! Its fun ! Its hard work! Your abs get flatter and you get 100% more than that..Bonus! Its better than a BOGOF deal!  Experiment and enjoy! Put your excuses in the bin....get your trackies on and a t shirt, and book a class..see you soon!
