I absolutely love it when the seasons change, even though the summer has been beautiful, but there is definitely an autumnal feel to the mornings now. With the change in temperature I always consider how the clients who suffer from chronic conditions such as arthritis view the coming months. Often a drop in temperature or rain are thought to trigger symptoms but interestingly there is a new study happening which may refute this. Cloudy with a Chance of Pain is the world's first smartphone-based study to investigate the link between weather and pain and it is inviting anyone who suffers with arthritis or chronic pain to become involved. If you have any clients who may be interested and wish to be involved please click here for more information. 

I am delighted to launch the diary for 2017 Workshops and Webinar Series. Still on the calendar by popular demand are The Moves, Prep for Perfection, Pilates for Active Ageing and JPilates Barre. 

New for 2107

Understanding Low Back Pain Series.

With so many of our clients suffering from back pain, we often wish for a more in-depth knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of the spine, the various disease processes and psychological factors which affects our clients. The Understanding Low Back Pain webinars provide the theoretical knowledge to help you understand and help your clients to manage low back pain.

Pilates for Back Health

This practical workshop will build on the knowledge gained from the webinars  by exploring many adaptations and variations of Pilates exercises specifically for clients suffering with low back pain.

Both of these can be purchased alone or form part of the Level 4 in Low Back Pain.

The Pilates Playground

Come and play! This practical workshop is dedicated to giving you as many variations and inspiring adaptations of the Mat repertoire as can be squeezed into one day without the use of equipment or props.

The Pilates Clinic

This workshop is the perfect fusion between Pilates and rehabilitation exercises. Delivered by myself and Mark, we will explore common injuries and dysfunction with Pilates masterclasses and corrective exercise clinics. As part of pre-workshop learning, you will receive 3 webinars introducing the specific areas that we will discuss.

For details of all these new workshops please click here.
We have also launched our new CPD process. For full details please click here.

I am delighted to introduce Anke Schroeder as our Instructor of the Month. Being German and coming from the same area as Joseph Pilates means that Anke has a natural affiliation with Joseph and can really relate to his Philosophy. To read more about Anke please click here.
