Pilates Machine Classes
Once a good grounding in the basic matwork technique has been attained, then Pilates machine work may be undertaken. These sessions are suitable for private clients wishing to progress from matwork and undergo more challenging work. Machine lessons are also suitable for remedial exercise programmes following a course of physiotherapy or similar treatment. The client works with a combination of machines including the Reformer, Ladder Barrel, Wall Unit and Wunda Chair.
The Pilates body is long, lean and strong – slender but with a hidden strength under a healthy muscle tone without bulky muscles or bulging biceps. Through the prescribed exercise routines, the body is re-trained to work efficiently with minimal effort and no tension. Stamina and co-ordination are improved. The body comes into perfect balance and alignment, with the result that the immune system is stimulated and the level of general health very often rises because the internal organs can now sit and function correctly. After working with the method for a period of time, many people see an increase in height as a direct result of improved posture.
