Pilates

If you’ve never tried Pilates before, now is your chance to find out what it’s all about! There will be a new weekly Pilates class at Williams Hall on Thursdays at 1:30pm starting from January 11th 2018. The classes will be run by Polina, an experienced and fully certified instructor, with the aim to improve the condition of stiff/painful lower backs, hips, necks, knees and joints overall. The classes will include a balanced mixture of abdominal work, flexibility and strengthening, and are also great for promoting relaxation. All abilities and age groups are welcome – you are never too young or too old to do Pilates! The classes are dynamic and fun, using a mixture of Pilates small equipment which will be provided as part of the class. Cost is £7 per session payable on the day or alternatively subscribe for a block of 5 weeks at £30 per course payable in advance. Places are limited, so please register your name by emailing Polina directly on polina@elementalpilates.co.uk, call 07739 638156 or visit www.elementalpilates.co.uk .
