Group Matwork Classes

Classes are run during term time with a limited number of places.

A Class is roughly 1 hour 15 minutes long, the length of each term vary and notified on payment. Places must be paid for in advance to ensure a place.

There are no refunds for missed classes.

Clients are offered an opportunity to make up missed classes with prior arrangement.

If you have never done Pilates exercises before, it will be advisable to have a 1:1 initial consultation possibly followed by a series of private sessions before joining a group class.

For details on level of classes as defined by myself please use the following links

(way to go)

These classifications are personal to me and are not applicable to any other Pilates Classes.

Clients may not necessarily fall neatly into any one level of ability. Group matwork classes will overlap in their levels. Clients' will all progress at their own pace and should not try to take part in a class that is at too high a level for them to safely participate.

ALL CLIENTS ARE RECOMMENDED TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF THEIR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE STARTING ANY NEW FITNESS REGIME.

ALTHOUGH PILATES EXERCISES ARE VERY SAFE THEY SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS REPLACEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL PHYSIOTHERAPY, OSTEOPATHIC OR CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT.

Level 1

Includes clients who have never tried Pilates before. All Clients including those coming from a physiotherapist / osteopath / chiropractor would start at this level regardless of their previous level of fitness.

Level 2

Includes those who have had a taste of Pilates through attending a workshop, using the video, or have worked with the book and have some idea what it is all about.

Level 3

Includes clients who have started to grasp the basic principles including alignment, breathing and the concept of centring but still don't quite manage to combine it all together yet. Usually have done several 1:1 or group matwork sessions.

Level 4

These clients are progressing with the method and are able to complete exercises (like the 100's) with attention to all the principles but still sometimes struggle with co-ordinating the breathing with the movements. These clients are starting to fine-tune some of the exercises.

Level 5

This level would be capable of performing the exercises with the correct breathing patterns. These clients are fine-tuning most of the movements.
