About Reimagined Pilates
What is Pilates?
To put it simply, Pilates is a series of exercises that look simple but are based on a huge amount of technique and control.
Pilates, although incredibly popular now, has been around for years, and was founded by Joseph Pilates in 1912. He came up with these main principles of Pilates: breath, concentration, control, precision, centre and flow and based his exercises around these principles.
Pilates has been adapted since then but these principles are still key. It is a form of exercise that focuses on mind and body connecton, balance, strength and flexibility.
What is Reimagined Pilates?
The name Reimagined Pilates reflects my goal of wanting to 'reimagine' Pilates and create classes that are suitable for everyone and every body.
As someone with scoliosis, I know how frustrating it can be to go along to a fitness class just to realise that the instructor doesn't understand what scoliosis is and that the class isn't going to be suitable for me.
Because of this experience, I want to make sure that I make you feel understood and comfortable to take part in my classes. I will do my best to educate myself if you have a specific condition to make sure that you can come to class, have fun and not worry about the exercises making this any worse.
Where movement meets relaxation
​
Something else that is really important to me is incorporating an element of relaxation into all of my classes, so not only are you taking care of your body but you’re also able to look after your mind as well.​
​
For some people, high intensity fitness classes can be overwhelming which is totally fine! Reimagined Pilates classes are for people who want to feel strong in their body and their mind in a calm and encoraging way.
​​
My goal is to leave people feeling relaxed, stretched, strong and proud of themselves for taking time for them, moving their body and relaxing their mind.
Reimagined Pilates Classes
My classes are relaxed, welcoming and non-judgemental - you can pace yourself and exercise in a way that works for you and your body. All my class are suitable for beginners.
Rotating between different class focuses, my classes will provide a balance of muscle strengthening, stretch and mobility to help you feel strong in your body. In some classes, I will incorporate small Pilates equipment like resistance bands and small balls to add an element of stability and balance.
Everyone is welcome and every body will benefit from taking Reimagined Pilates classes.
