Pilates Basics
Never done Pilates before? Start here.
Private beginner Pilates sessions designed for people who want to learn from absolute scratch - without feeling rushed, watched or expected to already know what they're doing.
I'll take you through the foundations step by step, at your pace, in a relaxed private setting at my home.
£40 per session
No experience. No pressure. No need to be flexible.
Learn Pilates properly from the beginning
If group classes feel a bit daunting, or you'd simply prefer someone to explain everything properly before you join one, these sessions are for you.
We start right at the beginning.
- ✓How to find a comfortable starting position
- ✓Neutral spine and basic alignment
- ✓How Pilates breathing works
- ✓How to gently engage your core and pelvic floor
- ✓The basic movement patterns used in Pilates
- ✓How to make exercises easier or stronger for your body
There's no assumption that you already know anything.
This might suit you if…
- ✓You've never tried Pilates before
- ✓You feel nervous about starting a group class
- ✓You want someone to actually explain what you're doing
- ✓You're returning to exercise after a break
- ✓You don't feel particularly fit or flexible
- ✓You want to learn the basics before progressing
- ✓You prefer learning one-to-one
You do not need to "get fit first". We start exactly where you are.
Your session, at your pace
Your first session is about helping Pilates make sense.
We'll look at your starting position, breathing, core connection and a small number of beginner movements.
I'll explain what each movement is for, help you find the version that works for you and give you plenty of time to practise.
You can ask questions, stop, repeat things or slow everything down.
There's no class to keep up with.
A relaxed private setting
Sessions take place at my home in Bristol in a calm, private setting.
This is deliberately small-scale and informal - ideal if the thought of walking into a busy studio feels intimidating.
Full location details are provided when your session is confirmed.
