Body Control Pilates
Body Control Pilates is excellent for improving posture, increasing joint mobility and strengthening core muscles, and is particularly useful for backpain sufferers and those returning to exercise after a break.
Body Control Pilates is based on 8 principles - relaxation, co-ordination, alignment, stamina, concentration, centring, breathing and flowing movements. Core stability is achieved and maintained through increasingly complex movement sequences.
Over time, Body Control Pilates can help to reshape your body which will become longer, leaner and more toned. It will also improve your posture, achieving a good balance between strength and flexibility.
The exercises are performed in a variety of positions from lying on your back, standing, side lying, sitting or four point kneeling. Each position challenges your strength and stability while increasing your mobility. Small pieces of equipment are used in the classes such as resistance bands, weights or foam rollers - all equipment is provided for your use during the class.
The classes are small and friendly, and suitable for all ability levels, complete beginners are very welcome.
Classes take place at the village hall (meeting room) on Wednesdays 9.30-10.30am or 10.45-11.45am

I have studied the maharishi teaching of transcendental Yoga for 10 years incorporating the study of the ancient Yogic text, the Yoga sutras Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita.
My aim is to pass on the benefits of Yoga in a safe and inclusive manner. My teaching focuses on developing healthy body mechanics, awareness of the breath (pranayama) and an awakening of our subtle energies to balance and strengthen the body, together with deep stretching to release tension from deep within.
I seek to include not exclude, making my Yoga suitable for all levels regardless of age, injury and flexibility from beginners to intermediate. My sessions are fun and challenging, including Asanas (postures) pranayama (breath work) and yoga nidra (deep relaxation) to promote holistic well being, strength and flexibility of body, mind and spirit.
My teachings are diverse from special needs children, remedial students with cancer and prisoners recovering from drug addiction............. to Yoga Holidays in the Spanish mountains, Turkey, Northern India and beautiful country retreats in the United Kingdom.
