JoyMoves offers 'classical' pilates
What we mean by 'classical' Pilates is, very simply, the actual exercises Joseph Pilates created, executed in the order he intended them to be done.
In other words, classical Pilates means only the actual exercises that Mr. Pilates created. These exercises have been verified through Joseph Pilates' original students who are referred to in the Pilates community as 'The Elders.'
And why do we stick with what Mr. Pilates created? - because we find that teaching the way Mr. Pilates did truly results in the body and mind coming into balance. Mr. Pilates’ exercises are simple enough, challenging enough and deep enough to practice for a lifetime.
Private and Semi-Private Sessions
Private & semi-privates sessions are the fastest way to progress in Pilates. A certified Pilates trainer will work either one-on-one (in a Private) or with a small number of people in a Semi-Private (max of 5, but typically 2-3) for 55-minutes on the full range of equipment, which can include the Reformer, Pilates mat, Tower, Cadillac, Wunda chair, MVe™ chair, Pedi-pull and ladder barrel. The trainer will adjust the intensity of the work to the level appropriate for you. The exercises may also be modified for suitability, as the case may be.
Pilates sessions are also appropriate for both those with special considerations, as well as high-performance athletes practicing Pilates for the cross-training benefit.
Special considerations can include:
Nerve Disorders i.e. myasthenia gravis, ms, sciatica, neuropathy, carpel tunnel
Degenerative Spinal Disease i.e. disc herniation, spondylosis, spinalstenosis, spondyloisthesis, osteoporosis
Respiratory Disorders i.e. pulmonary edema, emphysema
Structural Imbalances i.e. scoliosis
Chronic Joint Pain i.e. back, neck, hip, shoulder, ankle
Autoimmune Disorders i.e. lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis
Post Surgery i.e. hip and knee replacements
Trauma i.e. head injuries
