PILATES WITH JUDITH Pilates is an exercise system for men and women which will strengthen your whole body and improve flexibility. It takes time to learn properly and needs persistence if it is to benefit you-but if you have the determination -it is very rewarding, improving your movements in sport and in daily life. It’s not an easy option! Pilates Classes continue at Eversley Park Centre in Sherburn. Classes run on Tuesday mornings at 10am and on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Two new Beginners’ Courses begin this January at 6.30pm on Tuesdays and 7.35 pm on Wednesdays. This is a great opportunity to learn Pilates from scratch so get in touch as soon as possible. Please contact me to book a place letting me know which evening you would prefer and what your fitness levels and goals are, as I will try to group people together who have similar needs. email: [email protected] mobile:07739961036 I am a specialist Pilates Teacher in bone health and in pre and postnatal Pilates. I have a Master’s Degree in Education and aim to make my teaching safe, clear and relevant to the needs of my clients.
