As spring has now dawned, I couldn't agree more with the wonderful picture shared by Alan Herdman Pilates on Twitter this week @alanpilates!  I know some of you were disappointed to have missed out on a space in the Beginners Mat class in January, so, get your booking in now if you want a space in the new term starting in April.

Hope that the snow and ice melt away in time for the Easter holidays, when there will be a 2 week break of the regular Mat Classes and studio equipment sessions.

Enjoy the break to spend time with your family and friends as well as to re-charge your batteries in time for the Spring Term.

Pilates is suitable for EVERYONE regardless of age, gender or fitness level.  Using gravity, breath and resistance Pilates targets muscles groups - with specific focus on the abdominals - to re-educate movement patterns and rebalance the body.

"After 10 sessions you will notice a difference, after 20 sessions other's will notice a difference, and after 30 sessions you will have a whole new body." - Joseph Pilates

Maria has been teaching Pilates since 2006, having qualified with the PILATES Foundation® UK , whose teacher training programme is one of the most rigorous in the UK. Since qualifying Maria has had the great privilege of experiencing first hand, the tutoring of Ron Fletcher and Lolita San Miguel, two of the remaining Pilates “elders” or “original teachers” who were mentored and trained by Joseph Pilates himself !!
