A growing number of men, including singers Shaggy and Harry Styles, are taking up pilates. When I realised I could no longer touch my toes, I decided to try it out

Looking forward to teaching at today's all-day Autumn Retreat hosted by the Almond Tree Clinic in Corley.

A day of relaxation, well-being, focus and... of course.... ME!

When high-intensity exercise culture overtakes classic Pilates principles, the line between effective training and physical breakdown can quickly blur.

Finding your neutral pelvis... everyone's different as everyone has a differing skeletal set up - but as long as you try and follow this set-up it will get you to YOUR neutral.

We find neutral pelvis in Pilates because it gives us a balanced starting position for movement. Rather than being tipped too far forwards into an anterior tilt or tucked too far backwards into a posterior tilt, the pelvis sits in a position where the spine can maintain its natural curves and the body can move with greater control and efficiency.

Finding neutral also helps us develop awareness and control of the pelvis, so we can recognise when we are moving away from our optimal position.
From this stable base, we can then move the pelvis deliberately when an exercise requires it, rather than holding tension or relying on compensatory movements.

Evening classes folk.

Just been across to the new place to take the kit. Park in the carpark and our side entrance is the big glass door.

It'll say "press the button to gain entrance" on the door, this is a big disabled button but set back from the door on the left on the wooden railing.
Press it, and voilà, the door swings open.

It took me a few seconds to find it myself ;)
