Pilates classes in West Dulwich

Pilates has been scientifically proven to be beneficial and is recommended by physiotherapists and osteopaths alike. Pilates will strengthen the body and mobilise joints, it will stretch and tone the muscles and enhance body awareness.

Pilates works from the inside out because Pilates trains the stabilising muscles. With the stabilisers engaged, the spine is supported and least stressed. While the spine is supported, the body is strong and the mobilising muscles can work efficiently.

What will the class be like?

Everything you need for your class is provided and sanitised, just arrive in comfortable clothes. You will spend 55 minutes taking your body through various movements. Every class is different, sometimes using small balls, sometimes bands, sometimes the Pilates Circles and so on. Sometimes working with no equipment just our bodies and minds. By the end of any session you will have used every muscle! The class will be a continuous flow of movements developed to strengthen, stretch and tone your muscles and mobilise your joints. You will learn how to breathe while at the same time keep your deep muscles gently contracted; develop skills that enable you to completely relax your body and isolate and utilise your muscles. Always working at a level that’s right for you on any given day.

How long will it take to work?

Joseph Pilates said ‘In ten sessions you’ll feel difference, in twenty you’ll see the difference and in thirty you’ll have a new body’. Making Pilates part of your routine and taking a class once a week with a qualified instructor is all you need to do. In class, you will learn good postural technique that you can take into your everyday life. Before you know it, you will be thinking Pilates as you go about your daily life.

Testimonials

Really enjoyed this weeks lessons, as I can’t walk as far as I used to, they are really important to my well-being. Thank you for keeping my circumstances in mind with lots of exercises to strengthen knee muscles which I try to do throughout the week. My knee always feels better and I walk better after a Pilates session.

In 2015 and again in 2019 I broke a wrist in a fall on uneven surfaces. This meant I walked head down to watch my tread – not ideal. Then Wendy did a section in her class on walking —- heel toe, heel toe, to avoid our uneven pavements just waiting to trip us up. It also helps stabilise the body making you more confident and grounded. It took practice but I kept hearing Wendy’s voice in my ear (heel-toe, heel toe) and it has become more natural. So much so when my neighbour tripped in Lordship Lane, fracturing her hip and collar bone I passed this tip on to her. She now hears my voice in her ear! and although her recovery took a long time she is seeing the benefits. Thanks Wendy, during 9 years of sessions you have taught me a lot but this has been a top tip!!

You have no idea how your Pilates classes have changed my life! Even when I feel tired, I leave feeling uplifted, strong and ready for anything! I love that you tell us what is happening to our bodies as we stretch and correct us to get in the right position!

Thank you for today every time I see you I feel so amazing throughout the day, I have to do your videos so I feel I’m with you every day. I want to do something with you every single day, in person and video. And thank you so much, you are doing so much good to me. I will not let myself down, I will not let you down.”

As 2024 draws to an end I would like to
thank you for your superb teaching.
I think of you as my Healing Fairy who when I limp into class helps me float out after your wonderful
therapeutic sessions.

The magic of Pilates has worked again! I’m well on the way to full healing again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I truly enjoy Pilates and love your lessons. I learnt Breathe, Connect and Move. It makes a big difference to understand this and no one has told me this before.

My week doesn’t seem complete if I have had to miss a class. Also your help and work with my hamstrings and knees has just been amazing and made soooo much difference. My son who is an orthopaedic surgeon is
incredibly impressed.
