Workshops and Special Courses.

I regularly run individually-themed Pilates workshops, which have been very popular the last few years. They’re ideal for honing your technique, a chance to deepen your knowledge of the method but also to have some fun with fellow Pilates devotees.

In addition to being a Franklin Method Educator, I’m also a Franklin Method Pelvic Floor Fascia Trainer, I will be running special Franklin Method workshops in 2023. If you’d like to receive advanced booking notifications of these, please email me at thecentredbody@hotmail.co.uk.

Revitalise Your Pelvic Floor Course

Using Pilates & the Franklin Method, this 5-week online course via zoom will introduce you to training sequences, movements and imagery to help you feel confident about your pelvic floor. You will experience:

Why imagery can improve your pelvic floor health.
How to apply imagery for muscular activation and importantly, imagery to release tension.
How to improve muscular strength so your pelvic floor reacts appropriately without bracing.
Mobilization of your hips, lower back muscles and inner thighs to create a balanced relationship in the whole pelvic girdle area.
Understand the different layers of your pelvic floor and how to reach them.
Pelvic floor training tips if you experience urinary leaking whilst running/playing sport or if you want to return to running if incontinence has curtailed your running.

DATES: next course will be early Summer 2023

Book me for Your Well-Being Event

Many companies like to provide corporate well-being sessions or days for their staff and I would be glad to run a Pilates workshop or a Movement Meditation session at your company or venue.

If you’re an event organiser looking for people to present a well-being session at your event, you can either call me on 07952 921 636 or email me to find out the various options I can offer you.

My workshops can be tailored to your needs in terms of

duration,
space available
and number of participants.

Having helped advise and presented at previous events, I can also guide you on what would work best for the individual event and what you would need to consider when planning it, to ensure your event runs smoothly and successfully.

The ICAAN Health & Well-Being Festival, Wimbledon 2020 – 2022

In 2020 I was invited by The Friends of Cannizaro Park, Wimbledon, to help with their inaugral Summer I-CANN Health & Well-Being Festival, which was held in the Italian Walled Garden of the Park. This outdoor event ran in August 2020, was created to encourage local people to reconnect with the outside world and their bodies, through movement, exercise and nature, following 4 months of lockdown at the start of the pandemic. The socially-distanced Festival gave attendees a chance to experience a variety of classes with like minded people in a beautiful, outdoor setting with an in-person teacher.

Each of the two ‘Pilates for Posture’ sessions I created sold out that first year. The Festival was so well received, the organisers decided to make it a yearly event and I was delighted to be invited back for the 2021 and 2022 festivals.

Once you have learned Pilates, it becomes a conscience for your body the rest of your life.
