Introduction to Pilates:
At the Introduction Classes you will find out how to improve your posture, engage your core muscles correctly and practice some fundamental Pilates moves, which will prepare you for the Beginner Classes.
Beginner Pilates:
If you would like to join a beginner course you may need to attend a six week introduction course first.
In the beginner mat work class you will master the Pilates principles and basic exercises.
Improver , Intermediate and Advanced Pilates:
The improver and intermediate classes will challenge you further. You will be able to progress to more challenging levels of the exercises learnt in the beginner classes and learn additional moves. Additional challenge will be provided with the use of small pieces of equipment such as a resistance band, the stability roll, pilates over-ball, fit ball and magic circle. In the intermediate and advanced classes, more Classic Pilates moves are introduced when appropriate.

What is Pilates?
Pilates is a conditioning exercise method that targets the deep postural muscles to improve core strength and posture. This method was originally developed by Joseph Pilates to rehabilitate and train athletes, dancers and gymnasts, but today’s modified and adapted exercises, now termed Clinical Pilates, are suitable for anybody whatever your age or ability.
"Zanna's friendly classes are brilliant, with a structured programme to suit all levels."

Spine Twist with Magic Circle: Mobilises the thoracic spine, working the muscles around the waist. A gentle controlled squeeze with the ring works the arms and chest, whilst challenging shoulder girdle stability.
Swimming on Hands and Knees: It is important to be in optimum body alignment before starting your exercise.
Hamstring Stretch: Stretching the back of the thigh with the assistance of the band, whilst keeping the torso stable. Short, tight hamstring muscles restrict flexibility and may increase the risk of lower back pain.
