The Little Pilates Studio

Every day I walk from Blackheath Village through Greenwich Park to my Pilates studio in East Greenwich. I especially enjoy these walks in the morning when the park is quiet except for the occasional group doing intensive, heavy-impact running or circuit sessions. I'd always thought how nice it would be to exercise outside but having had two serious knee operations this kind of intensive exercise is not for me.

So I decided to set up my own classes (and now personal training sessions) in the park to allow you to practice Pilates, get fit for spring, summer & autumn, increase your cardiovascular fitness levels and tone your tummy all while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Greenwich Park. So if you, like me, would like to practice Pilates and improve your fitness levels while enjoying some fresh air and natural beauty then these group classes or one-to-one sessions are for you. Information is below.

GROUP CLASSES

Location: The Little Pilates Studio in East Greenwich on Lassell Street (very close to Maze Hill station). We will then walk briskly over to Greenwich Park to the area in the lower Park behind the fenced off playground.

Format: the sessions will begin with a short Pilates matwork warm up in the Pilates studio. If it is not raining than we will walk briskly over to Greenwich Park combining quick walking with strength and toning exercise using weights, resistance bands and other small pieces of equipment. We will then finish with a Pilates stretching and relaxation session back in the studio.

Dates: the classes will run in 4 week courses starting in May 2010. Each class lasts 75 minutes.
