Classes
Matwork classes are usually an hour session, starting with some gentle breathing and centring excercises,
and then taking you through a range of controlled movements using an over-ball and thera-band to help strengthen the core,
combined with weight bearing exercises to strengthen the upper & lower body, musclature and skeletal structure.
This leads, gradually, to improved balance, co-ordination and effective breathing.
I have a number of asthmatic clients that have mentioned that Pilates has helped improved their breathing.
All classes will finish with some gentle stretching of the hamstrings, glut/piriformis and back muscles.
Classes are held at a number of locations around Oxford, including Summertown & Cumnor. To try and maximise your relaxing class, all classes are in locations with ample free parking.
Class types... Matwork • Studio • Foam Roller • Small Equipment • Pre & Post Natal
Matwork
Matwork classes have a maximum of 10 in a group in order for me to be able to give all clients the required attention that is necessary for Pilates.
Mixed Ability Classes
Studio Apparatus
Studio classes are a great way to focus on a specific injury, for example shoulder, hip, or knee problems.
Small Equipment
Small equipment classes give you a chance to work on your stability using a Swiss Ball and foam roller. These types of classes are excellent for improving balance and co-ordination. Small equipment classes have a maximum of 6 in a group.
Pre & Post Natal
Pilates is an excellent form of exercise during pregnancy, helping you to prepare for the birth of your baby. It's also great for helping you to get back into shape afterwards. Check out this page for more details on these specialist classes.
