This Pilates course will be delivered face-to-face from Broadstairs Adult Education Centre. Pilates is a form of body conditioning that concentrates on building strength from the core of the body. It can help improve posture, muscular strength, mobility and breathing technique. A variety of exercises are performed, flowing smoothly from one to the other whilst focusing on technique and control.
Each class will have a varied theme and will build upon the last class. Themes will include: standing with correct posture; basic knowledge of alignment; breathing patterns; working the abdominals; movements to help improve back and spinal mobility, hip, thigh and leg exercises.
By the end of this course you should be able to:
- To achieve better balance and co-ordination
- To tighten and tone specific muscles and groups of muscles
- To breath correctly
- To achieve a tighter core
You will need to be able to follow verbal instructions, observe and copy physical movements and use spatial awareness within a group.
Although there is no specific work set outside of the class, students will gain most benefit if exercises are performed regularly and practised between classes.
