Course Description
This course will teach you the Classical Mat Pilates sequence from complete beginner to advanced level. You will start by learning the fundamentals (neutral position, correct breathing, where the core muscles are and how to engage them) and move through short classes to prepare you for the sequence. In a short time you will feel the incredible benefits Pilates offers."A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion." Joseph Pilates This course is summed up so well in this quote. I have seen clients transform their bodies in a few short months by following the complete Pilates Classical Mat sequence. Although the physical changes are astonishing in such a short time, the benefits to their health are equally amazing: - Most become more body aware within 3 classesPosture improvesChronic back pain disappearsEnergy levels are enhancedFlexibility and Mobility increaseSports injuries are less frequent Clients report that they feel calmer and less stressedFlat abs, strong back and that long, lean look that Pilates givesImproved bone densityBetter control of the pelvic floorPilates is THEBEST preparation for pregnancy and can really help with recoveryAnyone can do Pilates: you don't have to be young or a contortionist: the age range for my clients are from 18 to 84 years of age and once you have learned the sequence, you have it for life. This course consists of a Pilates Guide booklet in PDF format; 11 hours of videos: workshops, classes for beginner, intermediate and advancedThe complete matwork sequence suitable for that level. The workshops teach the basics of Pilates and so this is where you start and refer back anytime you need a reminder.

"Great instructor. The exercises evolve naturally in difficulty. Timely and clear cues." 5* review from Katarina, a studentYou should practice each class until you feel comfortable to move on. The sequence should be repeated at least 10 times, every other day. You will then be ready to move on to the next level.
It is possible to complete this course within 3 months for the fit and injury free; 5 to 6 months is achievable for most people. "With her gentle voice, clear instructions and perfect pacing, Josie takes us through beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons. Her prompts and self-check reminders seem to come exactly when needed. There are ample opportunities to practice and progress at each level, and will benefit all ages and body types." 5* review from Susan Pav"In 10 sessions you will feel the difference. In 20 you will see the difference. And in 30 you will have a whole new body." Joseph Pilates Who this course is for:

The complete matwork sequence is perfectly balanced for strength, flexibility and mobility and is excellent for athletes and sports enthusiasts who wish to avoid injuryFor anyone who finds it difficult to get to classes regularly (those who travel, shift workers, mums with small children for example), this course gives you a complete mind/body workout.
Pilates is an excellent way to avoid back problems and help manage and improve chronic non-specific back pain.
This course is not suitable for anyone suffering with osteoporosis as flexion and rotation are normally not recommended.
Although Pilates is extremely good preparation for pregnancy and recovery, this course is NOT suitable for someone who is pregnant as some of the exercises are contra-indicatedFor those in general good health who do not have any specific back problem or health issue which would make Pilates contraindicated.
