WHAT IS PILATES?
Pilates is a low-impact exercise for both mind and body. Physio- led Pilates has taken the traditional exercises developed by Joseph Pilates and modified them to make it suitable for almost everyone.
Pilates is designed to strengthen the deep abdominal muscles, lower back, and glutes, which gives you a solid foundation to move from.
Accomplished through a mat-based regime with small equipment, it involves coordinating deep postural and stability muscles while breathing and moving your arms & legs. Not only will this improve your strength, but also your flexibility!
Classes generally start in standing for the warm up, then moving onto the mat for the main body of the class, and finishing with a cool down for stretching.

KIM, 55
I have been doing Ashley’s online pilates classes since she started them over the lockdown period. I had always wanted to try physio led pilates but could not find classes to suit my working hours. If I can’t attend a class Ashley sends me a recording, so I don’t have to miss any.
Doing the online class from the comfort of my own home is great, I don’t have to get home from work and think about going out, I just get home, get changed, log in and join in.
I definitely feel the benefits since starting. My posture and walking have improved and my pain levels have decreased. I have reduced the amount of pain killers I use.
The class is very easy to follow and alternatives are given depending on the level you are at.
Loving it, never too old to learn something new.
