Pilates Classes
My classes are tailored to ease joint aches and pains so that women over 40 can live life with vitality.
Tight hips? Stiff shoulders? Sore knees?
When women’s hormones start to decline after 40, this can cause:
The muscles supporting your joints can weaken causing painful imbalances
Weaker muscles
The bones connecting your joints can weaken causing wear and tear
Weaker bones
Inflammation means less lubrication for your joints making them feel achy
More inflammation
Pilates classes are your new best friend over 40 to combat these aches and pains!
Muscle strength
Pilates exercises build strength in the muscles that help to support your joints
Joint mobility
Pilates exercises take joints through a full range of motion to loosen and lubricate them
Core stability
Pilates exercises work the deep core muscles to build a strong and stable pelvis
Relaxation
Controlled breathing and gentle movement helps to lower your cortisol levels
You deserve to live life with vitality! With regular Pilates classes, you could wake up in the morning after a good night’s sleep and get out of bed with no pain or stiffness, feeling awake and motivated. Pilates exercises help you to move more freely through the day, standing tall and with more energy. Daily tasks feel easier to do and most importantly, you can say "YES" to all those fun activities with the kids and your family and friends.
Success Stories
I was struggling with no core stability when I was trying to do other exercises but now I feel so much stronger. And I sleep so much better after a class! I was a bit worried about being able to do the class but it's really accessible and the classes are great fun!
Ailie Keter
I am reasonably fit but I was keen to increase my flexibility and mobility for my years ahead. Since doing regular Pilates classes, I am subtly more flexible and noticing some better posture. I enjoy the small group classes with excellent encouraging support.
Heather
I had never tried Pilates in my life and I was a bit unsure if I would be able to manage all the exercises. But since doing regular Pilates classes, I feel amazing! After each class I feel so much more energised, flexible and loose. I love the variety of exercises we undertake and I love that Kirsty is such a supportive and encouraging teacher who explains everything perfectly.
Alison
I totally understand how it feels to struggle with joint aches and pains. Turning 40 hit me like a steam train! A chronic illness combined with the inevitable changes of that age left me aching and in pain. I struggled to play with my daughter, which made me feel awful.
I turned to Pilates to support my recovery and changing biology. And it was a revelation! Sore movements became much easier. I felt stronger, taller and brighter and I had the energy to run around with my daughter.
I have Level 3 Diploma in Instructing Pilates Matwork and Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training. I am also an FRC© Certified Mobility Specialist and have learnt how to strengthen my muscles and how to move my joints from a strong core. I can teach you the exercises I’ve used to help myself and my clients like you live a life with vitality.
Stop those joint aches and pains from taking over your life and start doing Pilates to be able to move freely and to enjoy all those fun moments!
