  Tweet“I love walking, but I’ve always needed wide-fitting boots and shoes and had a problem foot. I was told that one leg was longer than the other, and prescribed a foot insert to correct the problem. The inserts worked well for about six months, but my feet continued to spread and then began to hurt [...]

  Tweet“It’s hard to keep fit when you lead an office based life. I always lived by the rule, that the best exercise for the sport you do is the sport you do – Keely taught me different. Pilates has helped me improve and change issues with my strength and posture that I have lived with [...]

  Tweet“The combination of Pilates and Bowen Technique work so well together. Bowen balances and realigns the skeletal structure without force or manipulation – loosening tight muscles in the process. Then Pilates helps to hold the structure in place by targeting specific muscle groups – producing increased flexibility and strength. When applied by experienced practitioners, Bowen [...]

  TweetI have been going to Pilates for nearly a year. I was rather apprehensive in the beginning and was recommended to Keely by word of mouth stating how good she was and ‘knew her stuff’. I contacted Keely and was put in a small class for people with problems. At times you feel that you [...]

Pilates Matwork Classes

General Matwork – groups of 10

Pilates Yoga Toe Stretch Classes
A general group session that’s suitable for both men and women of all ages. Exercises are performed on a mat, sometimes using small pieces of equipment. The classes focus on all round body conditioning and offer an increased aspect of challenge because they are performed without spring support and resistance.

How it helps you

Matwork classes offer a further aspect of challenge in that they are performed without spring support and resistance relying purely upon the body’s awareness to create its own support and resistance. The classes focus on all round body conditioning that unites the 6 fundamentals of Pilates: Concentration, Control, Centering, Breath, Fluidity and Precision.

A strong emphasis is placed on core stability and strengthening the abdominals to create a strong, healthy and functional spine. Areas such as the legs, arms and buttocks are also worked to create a balanced and streamlined body. The classes are adapted to suit individual needs and will develop with the group of participants.

For general classes, it is recommended that you have completed a beginners course or ideally had at least one private session before enrolling so that we can discuss any relevant medical history or injuries, carry out a postural analysis, answer any questions you may have and teach the fundamental principles of Pilates so that you are able to perform the exercises once you join a class.

Classes are taught in 6 week block sessions so that your practice is continuous and progressive. Class sizes are restricted to no more than 10 participants. Places are limited so early booking is advised.
