Mat work based class for beginner level. This class targets the deep postural muscles, it works by building strength from the inside out, rebalancing the body and bringing it into correct alignment. It helps to reshape your body which will become longer, leaner and more toned. It will also improve your posture, achieving the perfect balance between strength and flexibility, and is a great way to relieve unwanted stress and tension.
To ensure close supervision and support there will be a maximum class size of 12.

I first discovered pilates whilst at Ballet West, a professional dance school in Scotland. We were taught a few exercises and I new straight away that there was something extremely beneficial in this particular movement technique.
After two years I moved to London where I trained at the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance. When I started to get injuries I knew I had to seek out a Pilates class to see if it could help, and it did. I am currently on maternity leave so please contact Simona Ciabatti.
It gave me an inner strength and started to rebalance my muscles, even helping with my mild scoliosis!
Even after I graduated from Rambert and continued with my dance career I stuck with Pilates. I kept learning more and more about my body, improving and strengthening it, there was no way I was stopping now.
The next stage was to become a teacher so that I could share the magic of Pilates with other people. I gained my mat work teachers qualification in Nov 06 with Body Control Pilates. I have since gained my Intermediate mat work certificate, Ante and Post Natal certificate and Reformer certificate with honours. Recently I have the role of a supervising teacher, assisting Body Control teacher trainers with their teaching practice.
