Barefoot PILATES​Therapy

 

At the moment I run two classes at Debden Village hall,

​

Thursday Evening Class      6.45-7.45pm

 

 A lot of people who come to the Thursday class have been attending since my first class 11 years ago! This means that it isn't a beginners class, but good for improvers/ intermediate level -people who have some experience of Pilates. The class is really friendly and relaxed. This class can be busy at times, 12 is our max.

​

Saturday Morning    9-10am

​

Saturday morning class is a bit more suited for those who want a gentler class. There are usually fewer people so i can give you more attention. I very occasionally let beginners into this class, but only if i have assessed them on a one to one first and know that they can cope with the level of stability needed.

​

No need to book a course just drop In

​

Once I have assessed that you can join a class you are welcome to attend either/ both classes, depending on current student numbers (Please ask). I know how busy life can be at times and because of that, i don't make you commit to a course of sessions per term. Both my classes are drop-in sessions. The only thing i ask is that you let me know if you can't make it, I send a poll out at the beginning of the week on Whats App, or you can drop me an email. Just so i have an idea of numbers. 

​

Health Screening

​

Before attending a class i will get you to fill in a health screening questionnaire, so i know about any issues or injuries you may have, and whether we need to adapt any exercises.

​

Contact me 

​

Please let me know if you are interested in joining a class. I like to do a one to one session prior to you attending a class. This allows me to assess your suitability for the class, look at how you move, understand any issues you may have and make sure you understand the basic Pilates principles.

​

What to expect

​

I bring in a lot of different elements to my class. With my background as a Physiotherapist, I feel confident to add whatever exercises i think may be beneficial to the group. There will often be a few Yoga moves (Yoga is fantastic for flexibility), balancing exercises, use of some Pilates small equipment  -usually the foam roller or the magic circle, and I always do a guided relaxation at the close of the class to give the mind a little bit of rest and focus. 

​

What to bring

​

Classes are run in Debden Village Hall, and you will need to bring a mat with you and a small towel to support your head. A small bottle of water is also recommended. 

​

We work barefoot, and most people wear socks, but do be prepared to take them off for some balancing exercises. 

​

All the Pilates equipment is provided.
