Who this is for:
|
Many who are new to Pilates are often unsure about how to do the exercises correctly.
You might have tried a general group class in your gym or have followed a YouTube video with little to no guidance but you're not sure if you're doing it right. Or you have heard how good Pilates can be for you and maybe it's a bit scary to go to a group class. The Mat Pilates Foundation Courses are designed with the beginner in mind to offer my students an introduction to Pilates that is easy to follow. This can also be a game changer if you've done Pilates for a while but were never actually taught the underlying principles of correct alignment, breathing and centring. I have successfully taught the Pilates fundamentals for more than a decade to hundreds of students, first in my local community in Hither Green and Catford and then also online. My students' testimonials speak for themselves. (view google reviews) |
"Katrina's teaching of Pilates is inspirational. She combines a real appreciation of the postures with a lovely attitude. She offers excellent individual corrections during the class increasing the students' understanding and application. You always leave feeling stronger and lighter!"

You would like to join the class but may be thinking...
*I'm not flexible!*
And you don't have to be flexible to do Pilates.
You may become more aware of your current range of movement and the exercises will gently encourage an exploration which often leads to greater range of motion and freedom of movement.
*My balance is awful!*
So, let's do something about that.
Pilates is designed to strengthen the muscles that support us which will lead to better balance over time.
*I have a weak core*
Then starting Pilates is great for you!
Nearly all the exercises we do in these sessions will strengthen your core.
And we also focus on general strength, awareness and mobility.
*I tried Pilates but the breathing is sooo difficult, I just couldn't do it and gave up.*
The breathing is only one aspect of Pilates and in the beginning I'm delighted if you simply remember to breathe.
The breathing patterns will make sense once you're familiar with the exercises.
*What if I don't like it?*
Pilates often needs a few sessions to get into it.
It's a bit like that Netflix series everyone is going on about but you don't quite understand it watching the first few episodes but then you get into the characters and story line and tell all your friends to watch it too.
Pilates can be a similar thing for many (me included!). You won't know unless you try it.
