My teaching style promotes a positive mindset, strong body and powerful journey to exploring and developing your practice with the aim of improving strength, tone, flexibility and mobility.
The first part of the class focuses on glute and core strength. Pilates bridges activate the glutes and hamstrings, strengthen the lower back and engage the pelvic floor and core muscles. Strong glutes are essential for proper pelvic alignment and a strong lower back. When your lower body and pelvis are in alignment, this helps to keep your shoulders, neck and back in alignment, improving balance and stability, and enabling the body to create and maintain good posture. We then move on to ab exercises to strengthen and tone the core, to build strength and further optimise posture, balance and stability.
The second part of the class focuses on other muscle groups with mindful, intentional movements to strengthen, lengthen and tone, with a final hit of cardio to spike the heart rate, burn calories and enhance fitness levels, ensuring a total body focus.
