ZIGS CLASSES - Featuring 3 levels of Pilates with Yoga Stretches

IN ZIGS EXERCISE CLASSES A HANDFUL OF US TRAIN TOGETHER.

  • We begin with a friendly chat then guide you through a varied warm up to mobilise our joints.
  • We blend Pilates core conditioning to improve strength with restorative Yoga stretching to improve flexibility and balance.
  • We aim for 3 levels to cater for varying abilities, from new starters to those improving.
  • There is a lot of variety from our experienced teachers and no 2 classes are the same.
  • There’s an intentional focus on playful relaxed mindfulness and the cooldown often features meditation and visualisation techniques to encourage a sense of restorative calm energy.
  • We welcome questions and enjoy having a chat to close the session too.

We meet Monday & Wednesday evening at 18:05 & Friday mornings at 09:35

Private tuition also available at other times to suit & you can talk to Clare personally by booking a call at… https://calendly.com/zigsexercise/energising-kickstart

TRAIN WITH US EITHER IN PERSON AT OUR STUDIO OR FROM YOUR HOME VIRTUALLY

Some people prefer to do it from home & use their own kit, others prefer in person & some do a mixture of both to suit their schedule and lifestyle.

Others might like to remain less visible by logging in from home. Feeling self-conscious can be a big part of our body journey and we all have different levels of what feels comfortable or too far out of our comfort zone with others. So training virtually can be a great way of gradually improving at home without feeling on show to others who we might compare ourselves to.

So at Zigs we give people the choice.

 

WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET SUPPLE, STRETCH OUT & STRONG IN THE CORE?

– Do you know your muscles & joints would feel better doing regular flexibility exercises to feel more supple & stretched out but you don’t do it often enough to make a real difference? Consistency and knowing what to do is a struggle.

– Even though you’re active you’d like a strong core & would like to see toned muscles when you look in the mirror?

– You would improve lots if you practised with a friendly professional who can help you learn the different levels so you can make real progress. Plus you enjoy doing it with others.

– You are active but struggle to practise on your own and you’d like more guidance on stretching, improving core, strength, posture, balance & for some pelvic floor exercises.

– You love the idea of doing it from home but with others so it doesn’t take up lots of time going back & forth to classes. You’re already giving a lot and you need to put energy back in & manage your time well. Life is a juggle.

From a person that was hunched in her shoulders, walked like a policewoman with feet pointed outwards, head forward and back bent, doing Pilates with Clare has transformed me. Pilates has changed my body posture, reduced the pains I had in my knees, changed my emotional reactions to stresses and challenges in my life and overall made me feel like a physically beautiful person again. I feel toned, tall and radiant now all because of Clare's teach-ings. She has a down to earth way of teaching Pilates, she's gentle and also humorous with her methods which makes it fun. Clare is an inspirational teacher because I never thought I could ever look toned and was never inspired to get fit, but her fitness and positive mental attitude has inspired me into wanting to get fit and take care of my body.

I've been doing Pilates for over a year now, it was recommended to me... to help build up my overall body strength and to help me be more aware of my body posture, I also had a very curved spine. I was amazed when looking at a recent picture of myself ...how much Pilates has helped to straighten my spine and how much more I am aware of my posture now. I really enjoy classes, everyone is so friendly and Clare is a great teacher, very professional, very helpful but also great fun to work with as well.

These classes are perfect for fixing me after a week of being hunched over a PC. Classes are professionally run, the people are friendly and the exercises are varied and effective in developing core strength and posture. I found that attending twice a week gives me the most benefit and with Clare's expert supervision and guidance to ensure the exercises are done correctly, my posture, stability and back continue to remain happy.

Thank you for getting me back into exercise and out of work at a more reasonable time! Booking into the Pilates class has helped me on my way to find a better work/life balance which was my primary aim (initially). I like the pace of the classes too… you can move at the right pace for you. It feels like a long term option rather than a quick fix. Very practical, individualised advice from a responsive teacher.
