Pilates is an exercise method designed to elongate, strengthen, gain endurance and restore the body to balance. It is based upon an anatomical understanding of the body’s muscular and skeletal systems. Sessions integrate the whole body to re-educate and restore it to optimum muscular and skeletal function.
As Pilates can be done safely everyday or once a week it is easy to fit in with any lifestyle. Due to the flexibility within Pilates exercises and modifications that can be done it can be adapted to anyone, young, old, fit, unfit or even injured and disabled. I now love to try and help others rebalance their bodies, recover from injuries, assist to alleviate aches and pains and just generally make people fitter, leaner, stronger, lengthened and more aware of their own body.
The great thing about Pilates is that just about anyone can do it from couch potatoes to fitness fanatics and professional sports people.

Assists you in using correct breathing for the exercises Joe invented. Really promotes full breath in and full breath out using your powerhouse. We have one in the studio and multiple windmills that give you a similar experience when instructed correctly.
This is much loved piece of apparatus in the studio by my clients. From simple movements to what seems like gymnastics the design allows you to position your body in ways you never thought possible!
The design of any Reformer uses springs to increase resistance and so can be more intense and more dynamic than mat based Pilates exercises.
Reformer Pilates is superior to mat based Pilates and a favourite of my clients.
Douglas classes are not on this week but back to normal next week. Privates are as normal in the Ramsey studio.
Keep stretching that spine and empty all the air out for that extra inch of stretch. Exhale forward – inhale on return. Practice, Practice, Practice.
