My approach to teaching Pilates’ exercises
My background to teaching Pilates exercises is of thirty years teaching the Alexander Technique as a teacher trainer, to groups of beginners and one to one to people of all ages.
My experience has shown me that as it takes far less time to twist, tear and strain muscles than it does to sort them out, I pay great attention in my teaching as to how Pilates exercises are carried out. I do this by careful observation and hands-on guidance where necessary.
The hands-on work is extremely gentle, non-manipulative and non-invasive. In order to minimise damage to backs and to avoid overstraining muscles, my students may not get through as many exercises as in some other classes - we are going for quality rather than quantity!
