This is your sign to make a change
You've been struggling with that knee pain for a while now. Your lower back niggles are stressful, and your neck and shoulder...let's not even mention it! You've tried going to the gym but it's not helping and at times, it makes matters worse. You tried online videos but nothing seems to work.
Plus you just don't stick to it!
The issue is not what you do, but how you do it!
Aligned Pilates - More Than a Core Workout
This eight week course is so much more than jumping into a class where the teacher tells you what to do while you think about your daily to-do list. This is a way of moving that you have not thought of before. Detailed, careful, mindful, effective. This is a course that helps you build those great alignment habits that you can apply to everything in your life, from how you sit at your desk to how you run or walk your dog.
Where your body is in space matters
If you've ever attended an exercise class and experienced pain or discomfort, it's likely because your body wasn't aligned optimally for your joints and muscles. The way you align your body in space plays a crucial role in maximizing muscle engagement and minimizing the risk of long-term strain and potential injuries. This is precisely what we'll be delving into here. Through meticulous attention to detail and consistent weekly practice, you will develop new and healthier movement patterns for your body.
