Chair Pilates Classes
Pilates without the hassle of getting up & down from the mat. Not a cop out!
Innovative exercises for full body mobility and strength, both in seated and standing postures
Is It Easy?
No. Infact many exercises feel more intense in chair Pilates because sitting on the chair fixes our pelvis in place, therefore we call on the muscular recruitment of the legs, hips and core instead of the fluid compensatory movement in the pelvis
Suitable For Injuries
Chair Pilates classes are popular with knee and hip injuries because all of our movements are accessed from a seated or standing position.
Equipment
Small equipment is used in Chair Pilates classes, sometimes to aid, and sometimes to challenge. You’ll come across stretchy bands, squishy balls, weighted balls, blocks and straps

FAQ
What Is Pilates?
Based on Joseph Pilates ‘Return to Life Through Contrology’ it is an exercise method designed to correct movement dysfunction, which in turn helps to relieve aches and pains and rehabilitate the body.
Is Pilates A Cardio Workout?
Whilst cardiovascular challenge is not the primary focus of Pilates, it can be done at a quicker tempo to increase heart rate. We practice a lateral breathing technique which allows us to maintain core engagement and take deep breaths simultaneously.
What Should I Bring?
A yoga mat and a water bottle. All other small equipment such as balls, bands and blocks are provided.
How Much Does It Cost?
Class prices vary, currently ranging from £7.50 to £9.00. Workshop prices vary, and 1:1 classes are priced around £45.00 depending on the venue we use.
What Should I Wear?
We do Pilates without shoes, so normal socks or socks with grippy soles are ideal. Clothing you’re comfortable to move around in and won’t restrict movement.
How Long Are Pilates Classes?
My classes run for 60mins, although workshops are usually longer. If we’re tailoring a session for your club or 1:1 session we can discuss timings.
What Are Your Opening Hours?
I check my emails and mobile daily, although I’m often teaching or on the road. I will try to get back to you ASAP. I do take some down time Friday – Sunday, so I appreciate your patience.
