The practice of connecting mind and body.

Melody’s Pilates classes are designed to bring balance and strength to your body in a gentle and mindful way. Every move begins with the correct foundational moves. You will be encouraged to listen and feel the way your body is responding to each movement. Melody applies the Pilates method to whatever she teaches and you will find classical Pilates exercises mixed in with the inspiration she finds from her other movement studies. All of her classes are suitable for beginners and the seasoned Pilates go’er. She has a fabulous ability at catering to everyone in the room, there is always a regression or progression in everything.

Guaranteed to will bring you the right balance of challenge, chill and mindfulness leaving the class with a great big smile on your face.

The main benefits of Pilates are:

• Increased balance and mobility
• Mindful movement, improved body awareness and posture
• Develop whole body strength and flexibility
• Build strong and connected core muscles
• Relieve stress and tension
• Increased confidence
• Connect deeply to your breath, incredibly relaxing and useful for those who struggle with anxiety

This is where Melody gets creative. She blends a bit over everything into a higher intensity session so you never quite know what you are going to get. She picks up the vibes of her class and just runs with it. Melody applies the Pilates method to whatever she teaches and you will find classical Pilates exercises with a twist, some dynamic yoga and perhaps even something she has learnt in Kung fu. She adapts everything to suit. Also expect to see different pieces of equipment ( balls, straps, weights) in this class, Melody loves a prop.

You’ll have such fun with this class, its challenging but achievable and you will always feel invigorated and better for turning up.
