Monthly Introduction to Studio Equipment courses

Matwork forms just one aspect of Pilates. When Pilates is done in a studio setting equipment such as the reformer and Wunda chair form an integral part of Pilates practice. These apparatus use spring-based resistance which allows you to build up strength and flexibility while helping you to gain postural alignment, good core stability, overall muscular awareness and tone, moreso than the matwork practiced on its own.

If you would like a chance to try the equipment in a group setting rather than a 1-to-1 session than we are now offering 4-week Introduction to Studio Equipment classes to existing clients of the studio or new clients who have completed the Introduction to Pilates course or 1 to 1 sessions:

• 4-week courses, running every other month at a different time
• maximum of 4 people
• 1 hour class will consist of a short warm-up and revision of the basic principles followed by a circuit-style class where you will be performing exercises on the Reformer, Wunda Chair and other studio equipment (wobble board, foam roller, baby arc, etc..).
• perfect if you would like to try the equipment before committing to studio sessions
• Once you have completed the entire course it will either be possible to join a studio equipment session, 1 to 1 sessions or matwork classes

Cost: £60 per course. Payable in advance by cash, bank transfer or paypal (we do not accept cheques or credit/debit cards). Refunds cannot be given for missed classes - if you have to miss any classes than it may be possible to make them up on another term, as long as there is space, but as there are only 4 people per class this cannot be guaranteed.

Level: beginners
