1 to 1 Pilates
For injury recovery or just to have close supervision. Available online from the comfort of your own home, or in person. You may be aiming for masterful, confident movement, be an elite athlete seeking optimum performance or be post-surgery and wish for the freedom of pain-free movement. I design individual 1 to 1 programmes to suit all of your needs and expectations and evolve these programmes as you progress. You will use a mat and equipment while focusing on your specific fitness or rehabilitation goals. These sessions can be 30 or 60 minutes and can help so many people who want to gain more confidence or progress quicker with their Pilates journey.
Pilates for Sports
Rotational sports are dynamic, fast-paced and often involve rapid changes in direction. Dysfunction can lead to altered biomechanics and potential injury. Good technique, regardless of the skill, originates from having a solid foundation of strength and stability.
​
Sports often involve some form of sprinting, lateral stepping, and / or twisting, placing unique demands on the body.
Pilates has a paramount role in assisting with injury prevention and return to sport, with a focus on building strength, endurance and power.
