Pilates uses the individuals own body to its greatest advantage, utilising its own strength, muscle flexibility and coordination.

 

I offer a free consultation to discuss your requirements where I can develop an appropriate programme.

 

I can also help you improve your technique with running, cycling, swimming, skiing, tennis, golf, horse riding & sailing using specific exercises. Relaxation of the mind and body is an essential part of any Pilates session. As you focus on your movements, your mind feels relaxed and free from stress.

 

"The Pilates Method of Body Conditioning is gaining the mastery of your mind over the complete control over your body".        Joseph Pilate

Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life.

Maintaining an optimal level of wellness is absolutely crucial to live a higher quality life. Wellness matters because everything we do and every emotion we feel relates to our well-being. In turn, our well-being directly affects our actions and emotions. It’s an ongoing circle. Therefore, it is important for everyone to achieve optimal wellness in order to subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness and ensure positive interactions.

 

There are seven dimensions of wellness: occupational, emotional, spiritual, environmental, physical, social, and intellectual. Each dimension of wellness is interrelated and is equally vital in the pursuit of optimum health. One can reach an optimal level of wellness by understanding how to maintain and optimize each of the dimensions of wellness.

Based on a mix of the ancient wisdom of traditional Hatha Yoga and Mindfulness practices, Therapeutic Mindful Hatha Yoga invites you to tune into your body and be kind to yourself. It is a path, a journey, not to get somewhere else, but to be where we are, as we are in this very moment, with this very breath, whether the experience is nice, unpleasant or neutral.

 

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is the relaxed practices of floor postures for three to five minutes (sometimes more).  It emphasizes the connective tissue of the hips, thighs, pelvis and lower spine. By drawing awareness away from the muscles and deeper into the bones a deep level of relaxation can be achieved

 

This is an excellent form of yoga for sport specific clients enhancing flexibility and increasing mobility.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

 

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

 

Reiki helps to relieve pain from migraine, arthritis, sciatica ~ just to name a few. It also helps with symptoms of asthma, chronic fatigue, menopausal symptoms, and insomnia.

Meditation

Sitting and listening to the birds in your garden is meditation. It is meditation for as long as these activities are absolutely free from any other distraction to the mind.

 

Meditation is not a technique, a mechanically learned and practiced skill, like switching a light on and off. On the contrary meditation can be a way of life. To meditate means to create a state in which all thought processes cease. The meditative state is a state of consciousness, in which the mind is free of extraneous thoughts and patterns. In meditation all the activity of the mind is reduced to the one state of absolute calm.

 

Benefits include: Increases energy; Reduces feelings of depression, anxiety, anger & confusion; Provides a sense of calm, peace & balance; Reduces stress; Reduces pain and enhances the bodys immune system; Helps control thoughts.
