Standing Pilates

This class incorporates standing exercises and seated exercises that encourage a whole range of movement through the joints, improving mobility.  The use of resistance bands and weights or own body weight to complete the exercises helps to improve strength and flexibility promoting improved posture and balance.

This class is an all over body workout using the principles of Pilates and is ideal for those that are unable to get down onto a mat or may have limited movement due to injury or common and clinical conditions.

Please pre book as places are limited.

Jane knows first hand how Pilates can improve core strength and posture.

In 2017 Jane underwent spinal surgery to help alleviate the pain she was suffering from in her lower back and  down her left leg, due to disc degeneration.  Over the past 20 years Jane has managed her condition by keeping fit and active but finally got to the point where she was struggling to cope.  Jane was referred to Mr Martin Knight, a highly skilled surgeon at the Spinal Foundation in London, who specialises in degenerative disc disease.   During her consultation at Harley Street Mr Knight discussed what procedure would be best. It was decided that Jane would have fehrfix inserted into L4 to rehydrate and lift the disc increasing the space for the nerves to pass through with the hope of reducing some of the nerve pain that had been occuring.

After her procedure Mr Knight informed her that over the past 20 years there had been some severe nerve damage as he had to  release a nerve that was trapped between a tendon  and the facet joint and this would take some time to heal up.  Jane was devastated to say the least .

Mr Knight insisted that Jane take up Pilates and Reformer Pilates as part of her recovery program, knowing that this would be the best form of exercise for her rehabilitation.

Jane was not going to ignore the advice of this surgeon who is top of his field.

After the initial 6 weeks of physio exercises and minimal walking. (yes this did do Jane’s head in) Jane began a structured reformer pilates programme and joined a pilates class for beginners.

2 years down the line Jane is back to work as a Personal Trainer.  and was so amazed at the difference Pilates has made that she took her qualifications in  Pilates  so she could use her knowledge  and share her own experiences in order to help other people.

Jane is living proof that it works!
