What to Expect
You will be working on strength development and core stability. There will be exercises to help you gain more flexibility, especially in the legs and shoulders and more movement in the joints, especially the spine. We cover the whole body from the feet (super important) to the head and neck.
This is a Mind/Body exercise format and you will have the chance to focus on your breath and relaxation.
Our classes are ongoing which gives you the flexibility to start whenever you want, not just at the beginning of term. This does mean that you’ll be joining a class that’s in full swing. Please don’t be put off by that though. Everyone else has had to make a start as well. All of our classes are in community venues and I can assure you that they have a relaxed, easy-going atmosphere,
Compared to the average exercise class or even average Pilates class, our Beginners classes are fairly slow paced, but there still might be exercises that are too demanding for you. Bear it in mind, listen to your body and ease up or stop if you need to. And talk to us!
You are most welcome to attend Jenny’s Mixed Ability class if you are a complete beginner. Jenny will not neglect you and she offers a easier/more challenging options for many of the exercises that she teaches.
New class for 2026: Daytime Pilates!
I’ve been hoping to offer this for, well, years, and finally it is here. Jenny is now teaching a class for people on a Monday morning. It starts in early January so get your mats ready!
I teach on a Wednesday afternoon too, on behalf of Oakwood Lane Medical Practice. Keep scrolling for info about that one.
If you need gentler classes, then you might like to consider our specialist Back Care Pilates. If you want details of an extra, more affordable matwork class that I teach on a Wednesday afternoon keep scrolling, or click here
