25.01.2022 76, 77, 78 NOPE, just joking If an exercise is performed with proper muscle engagement, breathing and control, you don’t need too many repetitions. A challenge can always be added with an extra breath and hold whilst in the movement.

21.01.2022 What are your goals? Do you want to be fitter, stronger, feel better in your body? A great Pilates instructor will assist you to set achievable goals, and then push you past them. Our instructors have very good memories and we love to recall when clients first started with us, and then remind them of how much they have achieved since then. We also like it when experienced clients have to hold the stairs on the way down from their workout - always a good sign we have found their limit

20.01.2022 Tight neck and shoulders? It's commonly known now that this can be linked to stress and long hours in front of the computer. The main culprit behind this pain is the upper trapezius muscles. Did you know that getting your lats (latissimus dorsi, your big muscle in the back) working can often assist to combat this? This exercise shown here is great to activate lats and work on shoulder stability

20.01.2022 Pilates has got your back. Literally. Our instructors watch your form and ensure you are activating the right muscles with the correct movements

20.01.2022 Ladder barrel recovery After a hard session on the reformer, it is wonderful to stretch and rest over the ladder barrel to open up and release the lower back. This is an incredible feeling

17.01.2022 Cat/Cow Stretch This is an essential movement in any stretch sequence and for good reason. It involves moving the spine from a rounded position (flexion) to an arched one (extension - pictured). Each movement is done in conjunction with either an inhalation or exhalation of breath, making it a simple way to link your breath to movement. ... To complete this movement: Inhale and tilt your pelvis back for Cow pose, then Exhale and tuck your tailbone for Cat pose (pictured) This movement targets your spine and abdominals, making it the perfect stress and tight muscle releasor See more

16.01.2022 Here we have our lovely instructor Ralene performing the Magician Series on the Trap table. This movement is an intermediate to advanced Pilates exercise as it requires serious glute strength to maintain the lift of the body off the table. Here Ralene shows her strength in this shot
