Is Pilates for me ?

The wonderful thing about Pilates is it really is for everyone

It strengthens, tones muscle, improves posture, flexibility and balance. It unites the mind and body in an all over body conditioning workout
​
​Each session is carefully programmed to allow all clients to develop at their own pace and fitness level while encouraging individuals to reach their personal best
​

How many people in a matwork class ?

A maximum of 12 people in any regular class
​A maximum of 4 in a Foundation class

Small classes with individual attention are the best way to practice Pilates. I regularly receive overwhelming feedback from students that this works and they can see the benefits as a result
​

What should I wear and bring ?

Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. You will not require footwear but you might like to wear socks.

​All equipment (such as mats, cushion, bands, foam rollers, weights and over balls) is provided by me.

​​Some students like to bring a drink and their own mat.
​

How do I book?

If you would like to join any of my classes, or start sessions in the studio, then you will need to do either attend a Foundation course or intro sessions in the studio with me beforehand

The Foundation courses and the studio intro sessions allow you to:
- Learn the Pilates fundamentals of Alignment, Breathing and Centring
- Learn the main exercises and movements
- Learn the terminology that I use
​- Understand better how Pilates can help you achieve your individual movement objectives
​- Ask any questions you have
​
Details of the 3 week Foundation courses can be found on this page. 

​The studio intro sessions are held in my studio in Widmerpool, they last for an hour.

Do you do private sessions?

Yes, individual or small group sessions are held in the Opotopo Pilates Studio in Widmerpool. They are a fantastic way to accelerate your Pilates, work on specific requirements or incorporate some of the Pilates equipment into your practice.
