If you struggle to get off or on the floor this class is perfect for you.
Do you need a consultation before a class.
For Natasha classes you must have a consultation if you have a medical condition or injury. Natasha would recommend having one when starting any classes, so you know what to expect from the class. You can meet the instructor asking any questions but also so the instructor can meet you and learn about your health and fitness before starting a class, the instructor can then adapt the moves for your general needs.
If you find classes don’t work for you or its too scary to start due to a lot of chronic back pain or medical concerns, instructors also offer private classes which you can start off with to get your confidence and gain a personal understanding of your own body which can resolve any individual concerns you may have before joining a class.
What is Pilates
Pilates is a series of exercises that involves working muscles from the inside out. This means changing the way our bodies have become accustomed to working due to environmental pressures, lifestyle, occupation, stress, injuries, and illness. Pilates helps re-educate the brain on how it controls the muscles by adjusting the firing order in which muscles are recruited, in turn correcting muscular imbalance, restoring alignment and posture, bringing back homeostasis within the body’s systems and maximising energy efficiency.
Pilates trains your body to be at its best, its individual to everyone depending what they need. If you are very flexible you might also be unstable therefore needing to strengthen the muscles, if you are strong you might be stiff therefore needing more flexibility and mobility. Pilates creates secure muscles that are strong, stable and flexible, so we work to our best ability.
One of Natasha's favorite Joseph Pilates quotes is below.
"If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young.”
Who is Pilates suitable for?
Pilates is suitable for all ages, abilities and can be adapted depending on your requirements. Natasha believe that prevention is better than cure, so if you feel fit and don’t have any concerns with your body Pilates can still help you avoid things in the future keeping the body at its best.
