Beginner Level
These videos are a Beginner Level and are designed to help guide you through Pilates movement. You'll learn the basic principals, at the same time as practising the skills you'll need to progress your practise. This level has a slower, gentle pace, and more detailed cues.
When you are beginning a new practise - expect some things to be easier than others. We all have things we are good at, and things we find harder, and the same thing applies to Pilates. We also have differing areas of weakness and mobility. If you encounter exercises that you find hard, don't be put off. I encourage you to do what you can and take breaks where you need them. Exercises will get better as you practise them and build up your strength progressively. Please feel free to reach out via email and in our Facebook Community Page - for advise, modifications and help if you need it.
