Bea Alexander Pilates

Neck, Shoulders and Upper Back Workshop: Saturday 15th November: 10am to 12.30pm. £35.00. We all get tight neck and shoulders, be it from emotional stress, sleeping in a strange position, or working in front of a computer. Explore the anatomy of this area and learn to free the muscles. This workshop will teach you exercises to stretch out and strengthen your neck, shoulders and upper back; rediscover good posture and take home a 'first aid kit' of exercises to use throughout the day to keep you pain-free. Open to all levels including complete novices. (If you have previously attended a neck and shoulder workshop, you can attend again to go over the exercises.)

Hips, Knees and Ankles Workshop Saturday 15th November 2pm to 4.30pm: £35.00. Humans have design faults: two legs may allow us to be clever with our hands but doesn't spread the load. A lot of us have either too much or too little mobility in our hips and ankles and rarely take our hips through their full range of movement; unstable knees and ankles are responsible for a lot of twists and tears. The workshop teaches you exercises to strengthen, re-balance and stretch the muscles involved in these joints, working safely with full range of movement. Open to all currently taking Pilates classes Beg-Level 4. Exercises for different abilities will be given.
