Pilates Movement with Jenny
What is Pilates
Pilates is an evolving series of exercises that encourages good posture and alignment, releases muscular tension and restores natural flowing movements of the body.
Many of the exercises focus on the deep postural muscles helping to keep the spine supported and body balanced. Pilates strengthens the core muscles needed to support our body, improves range movement and flexibility of the joints.
Central to the Pilates method is the awareness of your own body or proprioception.
Many of us lead sedentary lives, working at a desk for the majority of the day or performing repetitive movements, this can cause stress and tension to build up in the body and mind. Pilates can help to relieve the effects of day to day activities on our bodies.
Pilates is a good addition to other sports and physical activities; many professional sports teams use Pilates to prevent and protect against injury and as a training aid.

My classes focus on good movement, building a strong base, a good understanding of the Pilates principles and then progression to the more challenging exercises. I really enjoying using the small equipment such as resistance bands, balls and weights in my classes and I hope you will to.
