Pilates and Yoga beginners workshop
These one off, introductory taster workshops are held once every 6-8 weeks on a Sunday. They are designed for those individuals who would like to join a class but have no experience of Pilates or knowledge of the technique. It is a comprehensive induction into the method lasting almost three hours covering the basic essentials you need to understand in order to join a group session. Nobody is allowed into a group lesson without having learned the basic technique. If you have no knowledge or experience or any understanding of what you are trying to achieve then, at best, the exercise will be ineffective (so pointless executing it) or at worst, there is potential for injury if you do not know what you are doing or using the wrong muscles. It is vital, therefore, to either complete a beginners workshop or do a couple of private lessons before joining a group class. You may pay online or alternatively send a cheque for the relevant amount to the following address, writing your name and contact number on the back.
