I started pilates classes at my local gym in the autumn of 2006 in an effort to reduce my blood pressure, and was instantly hooked. Four years on and when my favourite pilates teacher moved to London, I thought why not share this special class with lots more people. For me, I had always believed that exercise needed to make me "hot and sweaty" to do me any good, but often all it did was bulk up my muscles and leave my clothes ill-fitting. Now I have dropped a dress size and am frequently complimented on my tiny waist and flat tummy. The joy of pilates is that once you have absorbed the basics you quickly notice a change in posture, control from your core and sound and peaceful sleep after a class! I have also completed specialist pre- and post-natal exercise - perfect for restoring your pelvic floor muscles. If this sounds like it could be for you then please check out the class times and drop me an email at mail@jolates.com.
