About Pilates
Regarded until now as ‘the exercise world’s best-kept secret’, it has now won widespread acclaim and popularity. Devotees include Julian Clary, Wayne Sleep, Stefanie Powers, Patti Boulaye, Pat Cash and Madonna. It has helped everyone from first-time exercisers, neck and back sufferers, to elite athletes and sports professionals. It will help strengthen your muscles and re-align your spine, thus enabling you to relax the tight neck and back muscles, will help you achieve a longer, leaner, more supple and relaxed body. It is excellent for stress management.
Gillian teaches PilatesYoga in the true spirit of how Joseph Pilates began with his foundations in dance when in 1926 he shared a studio with the New York City Ballet choreographers George Balanchine and Martha Graham. Joseph Pilates was in demand to teach the dancers his technique as well as people who just wanted to get rid of their back ache. Learn to move with elegance, grace and ease – as in ballet, not like an athlete. Learn how to find your ‘centre’ to control your movement. You will tone, stretch, lengthen, strengthen and balance – all the exercises we need. Strengthen your ‘core’, get rid of back pain and improve your posture.
You will begin by learning core stability (pelvic and shoulder girdle stability) using abdominals, postural muscles and breathing. This will be incorporated into sit-ups using your stomach, not your back and neck! You will then use your postural muscles in a variety of exercises (including familiar ones – squats, press-ups, etc.) to tone, strengthen and stretch from head to toe, including all those difficult-to-target areas!
She will explain how to make the exercises easier or harder. Wear socks and comfortable, clingy (not tight), clothes you can move in. Exercise clothes & accessories: You can begin with whatever you feel is appropriate, however if you are interested in shopping online Gillian suggests Dancewear Central. Let her know if you are planning to order using her discount email and codes.
