The initial morning session will consist of a workshop: an open forum atmosphere whereupon attendees will have the opportunity to fine-tune the applied movements, and discuss any issues arising, in a relaxed non-competitive environment. As Pilates is 'work in progress' for us all, this will be a great chance to establish the precision and alignment that makes the movement work as well as possible for each individual.

Following the break, there will be an hour's masterclass, consisting of the movements worked on in the earlier workshop, put together in a continual flowing class format, usually with music. There will be a slightly different focus each day, involving strength/mobility/alignment/standing/matwork/ equipment, etc.

On the last day, there will be the chance review the week, discuss any individual issues, and to experience Lyrical Pilates masterclass, which involves Pilates movements set to different genres of music, therefore giving an individual feel to each movement, as relates to the content of the musical accompaniment.

I will be forwarding a health-form questionnaire for customers to complete before course begins, so as to enable me to cater to individual needs. Do of course check with your doctor, if you have any medical conditions that could possibly be counter-productive.
