This class helps to develop postural awareness
and encourages the release of tension.
The
slow, controlled and flowing movements strengthen
the muscles, particularly those which stabilize
and support the spine. This makes the muscles look
longer and leaner, realigns the body and helps correct
postural problems.
Pilates brings mind and body together, focusing
strongly on balance, precision, concentration and breathing.
The classes are all currently based on beginners
to intermediate improver, however, if you consider
yourself to be at an advanced level and
would like to attend a class, please contact me.
'A' Class is more than just a class. It reflects
the skills I have developed in 17 years,
and the level of commitment I have to delivering
a results based workout to each person
attending.

The key principles are around energy
flow, detoxification of the body, achieving a flow with
life, spinal health and deep inner transformation
to a state of balance through an integrated
holistic approach.
Dru yoga is based upon soft, flowing
movements, controlled breathing and visualisation.
It is both a graceful form of exercise
and a potent means of stress relief. It
works on both the body and the mind, rejevenating
the soul, strengthening core stability and building a heightened
feeling of positivity and empowerment.
Yoga therapy cultivates body/mind integration
and a sense of harmony with life. It
promotes the innate healing resources of the body,
helping restore the proper functioning of the various bodily
systems.

ABOUT
YOGA...
Although Yoga is a comprehensive system of personal development, originating
thousands of years ago in India, the type of Yoga most commonly practised
in the West today is Hatha Yoga, one of the branches
of yoga philoshophy that focuses mainly on the physical postures, or
asana.
The
aim of Hatha Yoga (from the Sankrit word meaning to yoke, or join),
is to bring about a 'union' of the opposing energies in our bodies...
'ha' meaning sun (masculine) and 'tha' meaning moon (feminine), through
the practice of specific physical postures (asana), controlled breathing,
(pranayama) and meditation.
Regular practice can develop strength, power and balance in the body,
stillness in the mind, and spiritual purity.
Hatha Yoga incorporates many different styles, and varies from a gentle,
relaxed pace, where physical poses are held for a certain length of
time - to the more dynamic styles, such as Vinyasa, where the emphasis
is on synchronised breathing and flowing movement between one posture
and the next. As a complete workout for body and mind, it is both relaxing
and energising... bringing increased vitality, improved concentration
and a sense of inner calm.
Variations in Yoga technique have also been developed by different teachers
over the years, one of the most widely popular being that taught by
BKS Iyengar from India.
Yoga can be practised by anyone - of any age, and there are classes
available to suit all levels and abilities, from the absolute beginner
or less agile, to the more experienced who want to develop further.
Many people practise Yoga for the health benefits alone, as it can improve
and maintain suppleness in the joints, help to release stress, relieve
headaches and migraine, improve respiratory conditions, and enable you
to cope better with the demands of a busy modern lifestyle.
It can also be beneficial for pregnant women, both during pregnancy
and afterwards, as yoga helps to strengthen important muscles and promotes
relaxation. Attending regular classes can also provide a welcome opportunity
to meet up with other new mums.
You'll find many different types of class listed on this website, for
all ages and abilities, and there are even classes for children. If
you're not sure which type is best for you, please contact any of your
locally listed teachers to find out what they offer, and if their type
of class is suiitable for you.
Some types of Yoga you'll find listed are:
Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga,
Iyengar Yoga, Sivananda
Yoga, Dru Yoga, Yin Yoga,
Kundalini Yoga, Dynamic Flow Yoga,
Shen Yoga.
You'll also find Yoga & Relaxation classes
for Pregnant & Postnatal mums,
and Yoga classes for Babies & Children...

Yoga is also becoming increasingly popular for its therapeutic
and healing benefits.
If you're more interested in working on a one-to-one basis with a Yoga
Therapist, please go to our
Yoga Therapy page, which you'll find
in our Therapists Directory.

ABOUT PILATES...
Pilates is a gentle holistic exercise system, originally developed
by Joseph Pilates in Germany during the early 20th Century, as a method
of improving physical and mental health.
Pilates
exercises are designed to improve the body's core strength - focusing
on the toning of the back, abdominal and pelvic muscles, whilst at the
same time improving flexibility, posture and general fitness. The holistic
approach also trains your mind to become aware of how your body works,
and aims to bring about physical and mental balance.
The exercises can be beneficial to both men and women of all ages and
fitness levels, and can also be useful during and after pregnancy, under
the guidance of a properly trained teacher. Pilates teachers modifiy
the basic techniques to suit different ablilities as required, so the
exercises can be used either as a general workout, or tailored to a
more specific purpose, such as rehabilitation from an injury.
Pilates classes are very popular today, and you will generally find
two types being offered,
either Apparatus or Matwork.
Apparatus classes are usually held in a specially equipped
fitness studio, as the exercises involve using large pieces of equipment
such as the 'Reformer', 'Cadillac' and 'Ladder Barrel', which are designed
to provide resistance and support for the body during the exercise routine.
This type of class is usually held in small private groups, or on a
one-to-one basis, and you will normally receive a higher level of individual
attention in this type of class. Your pilates teacher will tailor the
exercise programme to your specific needs and rate of progression.
Matwork classes are more widely available, and you'll
find them in all sorts of venues, from community halls to leisure centres.
This type of class is usually larger and less expensive than an apparatus
based class, and most of the exercises are carried out lying down on
mats, sometimes using small pieces of equipment. Again, the pilates
teacher can modify the programme to suit your needs if you have a specific
health problem, such as a bad back or arthritis.
As Pilates improves co-ordination and balance, it is a popular choice
for sports people, athletes and dancers. These benefits however, are
also advantageous to older people, as maintaining good physical balance
decreases the risk of falling or having an accident. In addition, regular
Pilates practice can help to maintain bone density and keep the body
strong into old age.
You'll find various types of Pilates class listed on this website, suitable
for beginners to advanced, and listings also include some pre or post
natal Pilates classes.
If you're not sure which type of Pilates is best for you, contact any
of your locally listed teachers, to find out more...
