Whether Yoga or Pilates is the better choice for you will depend on what you're trying to achieve
Both practices offer amazing physical and mental benefits, with a key focus on flexibility, stretching and strength.
Unlike other high-intensity workouts like cardio, boot camps or boxing, Yoga and Pilates are less intense and lower impact, but are still very effective in improving your muscle strength, tone and endurance.

EIGHT OUT OF TEN ADULTS SUFFER WITH BACK PAIN.

1/1/2021

Eight out of ten adults suffer with back pain.

Did you know that more than 80% of the adult population suffer from low back pain at some time in their life. Do you fall under these statistics.

It is one of the most common reasons why people take time off work, and may be distressing and frustrating as quality of life often suffers.

Yet gentle, effective exercise, delivered by a properly trained exercise professional, can often help with the prevention and management of low back pain.

Pilates exercises are designed to help the back to recover from strain or injury. Regular Pilates sessions have been proven to reduce aching and to stop back pain.

At Pilates and Yoga Studio we teach the Body Control Pilates method.  The main focus of Body Control Pilates is the principle of encouraging natural movement. This is the vital foundation for avoiding injury and maintaining fitness regardless of age or ability.  

Body Control Pilates is remarkably effective - and medically-approved.
 

Your instructor Emma is a member of the Body Control Pilates Association – one of the largest Pilates organisation in Europe.

Emma will have to undergo continuous professional development throughout the years to retain her prestigious membership, and to make sure that she is up to date with all the latest information that is continuously released.

A good nights rest is important for our bodies. During sleep our body repairs itself. 
This is especially important if our bodies are injured as the damaged tissue needs time to heal.
Problems with sleeping will increase stress responses in the body and increase muscle spasm.

Lets get outdoors
​

When life seems busy, stressful or uncertain, the harder it is to make time for the things we love to do ⁠— the things that will lift our spirits and make us feel happy and content.
​

I find that I spend my days washing, ironing, cleaning, cooking, getting the kids sorted for school / work (yes he's 18 but I still run around for him ha! ) and thats before I teach my Pilates classes and over 50s Strength and balance classes and everything else that goes on in the background!  (not forgetting my own 10-minute Pilates routine) … just trying to fit in all the tasks that are part of daily life.

Can you Relate?.....
