Pilates Foundations Course
This is a 5 week course designed to teach and deepen your understanding of the Pilates method. Each week will build on the foundation of the previous week. These classes are suitable for those with or without any Pilates experience. Classes will involve learning the basic Pilates mat exercises and an introduction to the reformer and small apparatus. These courses are run at various times throughout the year.
Beginners and Beyond
Beginners classes are suitable for you if you have had some basic instruction in Pilates method from previous experience, via a Pilates Foundations Course, an introductory package or with your Physio following recovery from injury or pain.
Any Ability
Here we will build on the fundamental beginners Pilates exercises and will help you to further improve your postural control, breath awareness, strength, flexibility and balance. That being said, our Pilates Instructors will give options for these classes so that those people who have more experience can be continuously challenged.
Intermediate Ability
These classes will require you to work deeper with more intensity into increasingly more challenging Pilates repertoire. It is probably fair to say that you should have had regular Pilates practice and a reasonable degree of strength before attempting these advanced level classes.
Over 60's Reformer
This is a small class for people who may require some modifications as they exercise. If you need to improve flexibility, balance, strength, muscle tone and confidence this is the class for you. It's also a great option for people who are recovered from surgery such as joint replacement and are needing to get back into exercise safely.
Pilates for runners
Specifically tailored for recreational or professional runners. Using Reformers, matwork and other small equipment, exercises are designed to help improve flexibility, endurance and technique. A great way to condition muscles in order to prevent injuries and improve running performance. These classes are instructed by a Physiotherapist and run at various times throughout the year.
Mums and Bubs
These classes are for rehabilitation and exercises performed will help you recover safely from the pregnancy and birth of your baby.
Although our classes are designed by Physiotherapists or Exercise Physiologists, it is required that you have been cleared for exercise with your obstetrician or GP at your 6 week post natal check up prior to participating in classes.
If you have had a Caesarian section it is recommended you wait a little longer for things to heal (usually 12 weeks).
More about Mums and Bubs
Classes are run intemittently throughout the year as 6 week courses. They are designed to help restore the strength and endurance of your pelvic floor and reduce separation of your tummy muscles. Participating can also help to relieve neck, shoulder and lower back pain or stiffness. Bringing your baby to class is also a fun and social way to meet other new mums in the community.
As we do not have childcare facilities (and will be using reformer beds which can be dangerous for little fingers), we are unable to cater for mobile babies or toddlers. These classes are best suited to mums with babies (6 weeks to 6 months) who are yet to crawl.
It is recommended to have an assessment with a Physiotherapist or EP prior to participating. This is particularly important if you have any injuries, major abdominal separation, Caesar or underlying medical or painful conditions. This assessment may be claimable with private health funds.
As we cannot always guarantee that the classes will be conducted by Physiotherapists, and clinical notes are not being kept, there is no rebate for our mums and bubs pilates classes. If you wish to claim a rebate you will need to attend for 1-1 pilates.
