Pilates is suitable for all ages and we have clients of all ages who benefit from a Pilates workout. In fact, many of our clients are middle-aged or older. It is important to keep the body strong and supple as we age. Our older clients know from experience that a properly designed Pilates programme is one of the best ways to ward off the infirmities of advancing age. Indeed, many of our clients start doing Pilates precisely because they have reached ‘a certain age’. They realised that they no longer take exercise and suddenly thought, ‘I must start doing something, or else I’ll fall apart."
A Pilates workout is an ideal choice for the busy, middle-aged person looking for a gentle and enjoyable way back to long-term fitness. One of the beauties of Pilates is that we tailor it to suit each person, whatever their age or physical condition.Most Pilates exercises are low-impact and partially weight-bearing, which is good for the prevention of osteoporosis, the brittle bone disease. The gentle routines build strength and improve posture, flexibility and agility. They are also good for balance, another plus for the fall-prone elderly.Older clients still might have to ask for medical advice before taking up Pilates and to start more slowly. For most, however, Pilates is both a safe and effective workout, which many do into their eighties, nineties and beyond.

The Options Pilates Anatomy Course teaches you everything you need to know about the anatomy body in order to become a world-class Pilates instructor.
Learn the structure and function of bones, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments as well as the origin, insertion and action of the major muscles of movement by building them yourself on the Anatomy + Movement skeleton. Learn how muscles move by experiencing each muscle group in action and relating these exercises to functional movement.
Begin the next year with the ambition of becoming a Pilates Instructor and join our very first workshop from 2022.

Side Leg Lift Series aka Banana is meant to strengthen the obliques while stabilizing the body in the coronal plane.
If suffering from lower back pain, don't do this exercise.
1. Prop your head on your hand or stretch your bottom arm out to the side and rest your head on it. Your arm placement is just for balance; you should be engaging your core to lift your legs.
2. As you exhale, engage your abdominals and lift your legs, head and shoulders a few inches off the mat.
3. Simultaneously lower the legs and torso to the mat.
4. Repeat 4-6 times.
For a deeper workout, try doing the side leg lifts with resistance bands or small exercise balls under your knees.
The props can be purchased at our Studio.

If you've been thinking about becoming a Pilates instructor, rest assured, you don't have to be young, thin, or the most agile or strong person in your class to teach Pilates. You should, however, have a passion for practicing the Pilates Method and passing that knowledge on to others.
Ask yourself the following questions:

Is Teaching Pilates Right for You?
Are You a People Person?
Do You Like to Teach?
Are You Passionate About the Pilates Method?
Are You Interested in Anatomy and Physiology?
Are You Self-Motivated?

What do you do if you're ready?

Back Rowing is a great exercise, performed on the Reformer. It focuses on strengthening and mobilising the shoulder joint.

1) Sit tall on sit bones and lengthen through the spine.
2) Roll, rounding your spine and pulling your hands closer to the chest.
3) Extend elbows, to open arms to the sides, turning the palms to face back.
4) Curl the spine forward, over the legs and reach arms long behind the body, palms facing each other.
5) Reach arms out to sides, keeping arms parallel to the floor, then exhale and reach arms overhead bringing the back of the hands together.
6) Roll spine into sitting position.
Make sure you aren't elevating your shoulders or rounding them forward. Watch out for rolling too far back so that stability is lost.

If unsure, book a session with one of our experienced Pilates instructors, that will guide you in a proper and efficient way.
