We all know someone who is physically strong and very active and is fine when they’re out doing activity but it’s when they’re sitting, standing or walking that they get awful pain and discomfort. This can be due to the way they are activating and recruiting their muscles.

How Much Does Beginner Mat Pilates Cost?

From my experience a lot of people start Pilates because they were told to by their doctor or specialist, but Pilates can help prevent you having to take some of these visits. Pilates improves muscular strength, coordination and helps improve flexibility and with my classes you will get a good understanding of how to tune into how you’re doing your everyday activities. In my beginner classes we introduce exercises in standing to challenge balance but to also ensure we help strengthen our bones with non-impact weight bearing exercises.

Hi, I'm Laura,
So what have I got to give?

During my training as a Sports & Exercise Rehabilitator, along with having to understand how to assess and treat injuries, you also need to be able to see what’s happening when people are moving, know what’s going on and how to help with their movement. I found the Pilates a huge benefit for this. Through Pilates, I've gotten a better eye for movement and for how to perfect my verbal instruction to make it clear to my class what to do next. I've stepped away from the tradition method of Pilates for my beginner mat session to focus on recruiting the correct muscles, so you don’t get caught up on the breathe (just breath will be good) and so we focus on stopping whatever compensatory actions that are happening.
