So interesting thing 👉 the equipment is kind of a big deal when you're practicing pilates.

In addition to being the most awkward ice-breaker ever with students... the mailman... carpet installation guys... "you *do* know that it looks a little '50 Shades' in here" 🤣 It actually is an important part of the method 🤓
But didn't Joe teach mat-based group classes? Sure. You can even find videos and photos of him teaching young, fit, professional dancers a mat workout. I've never heard of him running a mat class for "back care" however...🤔 BUT 😈 If his method was complete on the mat alone, why didn't he just stop there? 🤔

Because maybe it's not 😶

He designed some pretty cool equipment and gadgets to accompany his exercises way before erotic novels became main-stream commuter reading. 🤗

All of it designed to help you perform the exercises correctly and safely 👉 This second part is especially important if you have some kind of injury or are just getting your pilates practice started❗

A fully equipped classical pilates studio has equipment specifically designed by Joseph Pilates to support you where you need it while challenging your weaknesses when practicing his exercises, so that you get stronger, safely.

If you've never tried the full system - come see what you've been missing! 😍😍😍 I'm running three courses just for beginners that all start in April, as well as a special 4-week Masterclass Series specifically designed to get you moving towards all of the benefits of a pilates practice. 📅

Plus don't forget your first 1-to-1 lesson is just £50 😘

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️Are you thinking about starting a classical pilates practice?
One of the things we love about classical pilates is that the method is an excellent match for your fitness level 👉 no matter where that is 😍

So, if you have been thinking you might like to start a practice but feel a bit intimidated because maybe you haven't worked out in a while (or ever!), we've planned a 4-week series to help you get started.

In our April Masterclass Series, we look at purposeful pre-pilates exercises and how they fit into a basic mat practice.
In a small group (max 5 students), you will learn exercises that you can do at home to improve abdominal strength, lumbopelvic stability, shoulder strength and mobility, as well as exercises that will help you find the power in your powerhouse! 💪 📅 This series meets all Wednesdays in April at 7pm.

👵: I'm far too old to start pilates. 🙋‍♀️: Not at all.
Joe Pilates created this method so just about anyone can get into a practice and enjoy the benefits 🤗

Having access to a fully equipped studio means that you can do your exercises where it is safest for you. 👨

Limited mobility in your hips and knees? We can work on that safely without you ever having to sit down on the ground. 🧓Have a bit of vertigo and moving surfaces make you feel a bit dizzy? We never have to touch a reformer.

And guess what, you are still able to follow the method that Joe created 😍

Pilates is truly a workout for everyone.
Why not come give it a try with one of our experienced teachers? Both Dawne and Dee are offering new students their first 1-to-1 lesson for just £50.
Come experience the magic of classical pilates 🔮

Join us on Wednesday 3 April from 10-11:30am for an open practice session just for teachers! 🤗🤗🤗 This 1.5hr professional practice includes a 1hr open practice session followed by 30min professional discussion with topics ranging from exercise progressions/regressions to the business side of the business! 🤓

Both the practice and discussion are driven by you - so come ready to work-out and armed with some questions you want to explore with other professionals! 👉 All comprehensively trained teachers are welcome. As open practice is largely self-lead, it is helpful that you know the classical order for at least the mat and reformer, but if you are from a comprehensive contemporary school and just getting into the classical work, we're happy to help you get your classical party started 🙌

Book your place at https://www.be-pilates.co.uk/educationcalendar/201904professionalpractice

🤔: So I guess you change up the exercises each lesson. 🤗: Nope!
Ever do, basically anything(!) and get better because you keep changing how you do it?
Me neither 😘

Repetition is a necessary part of the learning process. It's through repetition that basic movements become routine so that you can focus on the good stuff.
The better you are at pilates the better you are at everything else 👉 tell your friends ☺

In our beginner courses, you will have 12-weeks to master the choreography of your beginner system, allowing you to move into Open Practice with not just confidence that "you know what you are doing" but to really focus on the best bits of a pilates workout. 🤓

Summer Term starts in April. Find out more and sign up at www.be-pilates.co.uk/groupclasses .

I'm going to let you in on a little secret 🤫 All of the exercises you learn in our beginner courses are part of an advanced classical pilates workout.
What makes them"beginner" then? 🤔 Excellent question 👉glad I asked it 🤣

In our beginner courses you will learn the "basic" series, which include exercises to strengthen and stretch your muscles. Each exercise you will learn has a specific purpose but a common goal to improve your strength, flexibility and to help you develop proper form.

So, while we have specific exercises that help you to expand your lungs and improve your breathing, you won't find us lying on the floor all breathing together in our studio 🙅‍♀️🤣 The basic series helps you to develop stability and balance and so often, comprises an important component of even a super-advanced practice.

Basic because everyone does it, not because it's easy 🤗🤗🤗 Lie on the floor and breathe at home in your own time. We'd prefer to teach you pilates when you come to the studio 😬

New courses starting in April. You can find out more and book online at www.be-pilates.co.uk

So I made up some exercises today 😬 Because you do them with concentration, centering, control, precision, alignment, flow, full body integration and I was breathing, I can include them in a pilates class, right? 🤔

Ya... I was folding my laundry 🤗
Anyone want to sign up for my class? I have some fitted sheets that need doing 🤣🤣🤣 I'm going to call it Foldilates and because it involves all of the "pilates principles" of course all of the same benefits apply: good for low backs, posture, sport conditioning and since I had a headache when I started and it now is gone, I strongly believe it is a good remedy for migraines... So actually I offer therapy. I'm basically a doctor. 🤣

Weekend course is coming soon😘

Things are about to get dirty 😂

So Iet's talk about equipment maintenance 👉 a nice bonus when you own lots of nice pilates equipment is the manicure or several that you get to treat yourself to after to take things apart and put them back together again 🤗

"I need to find a pilates teacher who specialises in pelvic floor exercises." 😶

Wrong. 😈

You need to find a pilates teacher who specialises in the Pilates Method 🤣 👉 If your powerhouse is working, so is your pelvic floor. 🤗🤗🤗 The job of a pilates teacher is to get you working into and then out of your powerhouse.
No fancy gadgets or pelvic floor wizardry. Just a knowledge of the pilates system and how to apply it to your practice 🤓

Good question 🤗

Open Practice is how we run our group classes 👉 consider your Open Practice as a shared private lesson, where you get to do the exercises most beneficial to you 😘

With guidance of our teachers, you'll follow your own programme, so whether you are new to classical pilates or a seasoned pro, Open Practice allows you to build on your strengths and improve on your weaknesses while still enjoying the buzz of an energetic group class 🐝

Before you can join, at a minimum you need to demonstrate either through completing one of our Beginner Courses or private study with us, that you know your basic mat and reformer series, including equipment set up and safety.
If this sounds like something you might like to try, why not join us for a private lesson this month 👉 we're offering new students their first lesson for just £50 until the end of March.
Come see what we do and experience how classical pilates can give you the results you've been waiting for. 😘😘

So let's talk about the matwork 👉 specifically the mat that we use 🤓

This is one place where we believe that having the right tools for the job matters.
Can you do your mat exercises on a rolled out flat mat? Sure 👍Is it going to give you the same workout as a raised mat with straps and handles? Absolutely not 👎

Just like the rest of the pilates system, the "partner" you choose can either elevate your practice or hold you back.
If you'd like to get more out of your mat practice but haven't given classical pilates a try, we'd like to invite you for a £50 1-to-1 lesson this month with one of our teachers. Whether you are new to pilates or just new to us, we'd love to introduce you to the whole system.
