Specialised pilates classes

overview

At my studio, I offer a variety of Pilates classes to accommodate different fitness levels and goals.

As well as reformer and mat Pilates classes I offer specialised classes like Pilates for Runners to focus on enhancing running performance. At the same time, Pilates for Older Adults offers safe, supportive sessions to improve balance and strength, and Pilates for Motorbikers helps strengthen the core and enhance stability and control on the bike.

At the Studio there is Pilates for Post-Natal, which is designed to support expectant and new mums through gentle, effective exercises. Each class is crafted to ensure participants achieve their fitness goals with precision and enjoyment.

Post natal Pilates

As you embark on the exciting journey of motherhood, it's essential to prioritise your own health and well-being. Our Postnatal Pilates class offers a gentle yet effective way to maintain strength, flexibility, and abdominal & pelvic floor stability. 

Classes focus on gentle core exercises, targeted movements, and breathing techniques to help restore your body's strength and alignment.  

Whether you're a new mum looking to rehabilitate a weakened pelvic floor or abdominal separation, or simply wishing to regain your pre-pregnancy fitness levels and seek relief from common postpartum aches and pains, our postnatal Pilates classes are tailored to meet your individual needs. My extensive experience gives me a unique understanding of the needs of pregnant and postpartum bodies, providing a nurturing and supportive environment for your fitness journey.

Join Liv and other new mums in our Post Natal Pilates class designed to restore, repair, and strengthen your body after the journey of pregnancy and caring for a newborn.

  • Restore deep core and pelvic floor muscles through controlled, precise, targeted movements

  • Repair diastasis rectus

  • Correct your posture

  • Progress at your own pace

Pilates for older adults

As we age, maintaining strength is important. This session focuses on improving balance, flexibility, and strength in a safe and supportive environment. If you think it will be too challenging, don’t worry; I can modify everything to suit your individual needs.

Pilates for CORE AND PELVIC FLOOR

It can be difficult to re-connect with our bodies after childbirth.  Even more so if issues like diastasis, prolapse or incontinence are still with us several months, or even years, after.   You may have been advised to keep doing pelvic floor exercises, even though they don't seem to be helping.  Maybe you've tried all the 'quick fixes' on instagram? Or perhaps you've been told to just put up with it as it's part of becoming a mother, or that the only way to improve is to have surgery.

SPECIALIST CLASSES FOR SPORTS

Pilates helped me hold my posture while running, initially short runs, then up to a few marathons.  I believe through Pilates we can build our core strength to keep ourselves standing tall and strong while we run.  And that is exactly what we do in this class.  Help everyone to strengthen the muscles used in running, improving flexibility, and preventing injuries. Classes include exercises that enhance core stability, leg strength, and overall body balance. Whether you’re training for a marathon or enjoy casual jogging, this class will support your running performance.

pilates for Motorbiking

This class is designed to help motorcyclists strengthen their core, enhancing stability and control on the bike. Pilates, both reformer and mat, focuses on core strength, flexibility, and balance—key elements for safe and efficient riding. A strong core reduces the risk of injury, improves posture, and supports long hours on the bike by alleviating strain on the back and shoulders.

MEET Alison
