Pilates

 "My shoulder was stuck, had been for months, and I was in a lot of pain
every day, even doing simple daily things like getting dressed. I had seen
an osteopath and taken months of treatment elsewhere, when I decided to make
a change and after just a few sessions with Kath - a combination of massage
and a few simple exercises - my physical wellbeing has been transformed" - Alison Kelly

Practicing Pilates regularly can:

  • Improve your posture and movement patterns
  • Remove or significantly reduce low back pain and neck & shoulder tension
  • Change your shape - Lengthen and tone your whole body
  • Make you feel more relaxed
  • Increase your overall flexibility and joint mobility
  • Stabilise your core-Build strength from the inside out giving you a strong flat abdomen
  • Excellent tool for rehab and prevention of injury

As the body starts to realign and rebalance itself... everything else will become much easier and more effortless!

In ten sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 you will see the difference, and in 30 you will have a whole new body.

Summer Kids pilates classes - As some of you know, I am keen to start teaching kids of all ages Pilates, very specific to having fun whilst getting fit and improving posture, reducing the likelihood of developing back pain learning how to manage their bodies whilst dealing with the demands of sitting all day, carrying heavy bags, of changes in body shape. Promoting confidence and good physical health in childhood is something Joseph Pilates was passionate about as am I.

To register you interest and receive details of classes for your child/children please email me: info@kathpilatesleeds.co.uk 

Studio news - Great news! We have now had the green light so will be moving into our new studio in August. We hope to hold a big open day in late August with loads of free stuff to come and try out. The Autumn term will commence 1st September. NB: The classes at Allerton High School and Weetwood will remain the same. Do keep an eye on your email and check our website for up-to-date news of our open day and brand new exciting timetable for September. Please visit: www.leedspilatesplace.co.uk 

I wish you all a very happy healthy summer and look forward to teaching you all soon  Warm sunny wishes Kath
