Here we begin by applying the fundamentals of the Pilates Method in our Standing. This will enable you to get a feel for the technique in your day to day movement & help you to understand how the matwork relates both on & off your mat.

Next we move to sitting, working with the very same principles we used in Standing; we look at the ideal height for your chair in order to create length in the spine, recruiting the powerhouse to maintain this new found length.

So here we see how the work in our standing & sitting now applies to the work we do on our mat. Everything links together so our everyday movement supports the work we do on our mat & vice versa. This invaluable work lays the foundation from which we build in the Classes.

Here we work with the basics, setting up the frame of the body, finding our connection with the mat, creating length in the spine to make room for the breath & then challenging stability with mobility.
We establish the areas we need to release, & those we need to strengthen, & begin moving the body through all planes of movement.
The focus of these Pre Classical Pilates Classes is to prepare mind and body for the Classical Mat, bringing about balance in order to recenter, restore & renew.

Building on from the Pre Classical Pilates Release Class, we set about building strength, having the foundations of the Pilates Technique in place. Always recapping on alignment of the frame in order to build in balance, we begin breaking down some of the Classical Mat exercises & move the spine through flexion, extension & rotation.
As we journey through these classes, we will become increasingly aware of areas that are restricting our movement, & so use the genius of this Work to bring about change.

The Classical Pilates Matwork Repertoire is challenging. So here I layer a balanced selection of the Repertoire to make the genius of the Work accessible to all..
I would always recommend working through the Pre Classical Release & Strength Classes first as it is this Work that prepares the body to fully access these Classical Mat Classes.
The focus is building Stamina as we move from one classic to the next, but always adhering to the Foundation of the Work from which we build with length & strength.

A perfect option for those who are familiar with the Foundation One & Two Classes. These Classical Flows will keep you moving for just 15/20 mins, & prepare you for the one hour Layered Classical Mat Classes..

Again those already working well with the Foundation One & Two Classes will advance their skills & develop stamina. Lasting just 15/20 mins, this is a perfect option for when time is short or the hour long Classical Classes are too challenging…

A perfect option for those already working with the Layered Classical Mat Classes, & want to be challenged with a quicker workout when time is short… We move for approximately 15/20 minutes, & just flow from beginning to end!

A new addition to the selection of Flows, giving you the chance to see the progressions & give them a go as you work through the Flow. Slightly longer at around 30 minutes, but a great taster progression before working with the Layered Classical Mat Classes.
