ABOUT ME

Stronger bodies, stronger minds
Having started my training 15 years ago, whilst working in the NHS, I quickly  discovered the amazing benefits that PILATES can bring to absolutely anyone at any level. Having worked in an Orthopaedics ward & a Cystic Fibrosis unit within Physiotherapy, I was able to support patients with rehabilitation to feel more confident and stronger through exercise & Pilates.
 
APPI Pilates is based on a unique Method of Rehabilitation type exercise to support and strengthen movement. It can have a real positive impact on day to day function when practiced regularly.
 
I am absolutely passionate about Pilates and what it has to offer. I strive to continue my professional development and have undertaken additional qualifications so that I can support and understand different clients experiencing menopausal and osteoporosis issues or symptoms. Together with Pelvic Health and Pre & Post natal.
For me, being able to teach with support through each Pilates Journey and see the results is such an inspiring and wonderful privilege.

Teaching the Pilates journey and seeing the results is most inspiring and the biggest gift!

WHAT IS PILATES

Stronger bodies, stronger minds

It was invented by a man named Joseph Pilates in the 1920’s and is a unique method of body conditioning. He realised that if one system of the body fails, another must compensate in order to restore complete body balance. He also saw the mind & body as an integrated pathway to total health. Pilates original method was narrowed down to 34 movements of strength, mobility and stretching. Over the years, these movements have been developed and refined.

HOW PILATES WORKS

Pilates involves the co-ordination of deep postural and stability muscles combined with breathing, arm & leg movements, postural correction and flexibility. Scientific research shows that Pilates can reduce pain and improve physical function, movement and wellbeing.   In pilates, you work toward a safe increase in length and stretch of the muscle and range of motion within the joints.

CORE MUSCLES

When the core is strong, the frame of the body is supported.

When the core is strong, the frame of the body is supported. The neck & shoulders can relax and the rest of the muscles and joints are free to do their jobs (but don't have to do more). A tight core can also help you learn how to pull your abs in to get the most out of many exercises and everyday functional movements. Pilates involves a variety of abdominal exercises, which help to improve not only the strength of the core muscles but also their endurance.

A strong supported core in Pilates improves posture and reflects a good alignment Pilates is for absolutely anyone, any age or ability. On introduction, I will get you to complete a required registration form with regular personal history to assess your needs within the class. We will go through the basic 'Pilates Foundation' movements filtering in the '5 Key Elements'. This will give you the basic structure for the Pilates movements within the classes.

These movements can then be developed as you go to the highest strength/mobility level that you wish to achieve.
