WHY PILATES?
With Pilates you learn to listen and reeducate your body from past injuries or conditions!
Pilates improves muscle elasticity and joint mobility. Consequently the body gains balance, strength and flexibility and you will less likely to get injured. Pilates is about teaching the client to reeducate the body through controlled and flowing movements with a guided breathing pattern. In the studio here in Beckenham we offer one on one sessions.
We guide our clients through each step of a carefully designed exercise.
The client will learn how not to over or under train the muscular system through the process of ‘muscle isolation’.
I have been a professional ballet and contemporary dancer for 20 years.
Pilates has helped me to overcome many injuries that I have had during my career.
My appreciation for Pilates led me to train with the Body Art Science International (BASI) and become a qualified Pilates Instructor. I am also fully qualified machinery Pilates instructor and I obtained a ‘Spinal Surgery Pilates’ and a 'Ante and Post Natal’ qualification with APPI (The Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute).
With years of experience I have build up a close relationship with NHS, private consultants, physiotherapy practices who have trustily referred patients to the studio in order to receive a tailored programme so patients could overcome certain clinical conditions and injuries.
I also believe that through centring, concentration, control, precision and breathing, the entire body learns how to use every muscle group evenly without over straining it. This is one of the reasons so many elite athletes have introduced Pilates into their daily fitness regime.
