What do you focus on during a typical
Pilates mat class with Ruth ?

Each class begins with a warm up. During the main body of
the class we discuss correct alignment and breathing.
Most of the exercises focus on strengthening the major
muscle groups that can improve posture : Abdominals,
buttocks and back muscles (Core muscles) We also balance
these stengthening exercises with some stretches. The
exercises vary from week to week.

Pilates aims to improve posture and increase flexibility through controlled strengthening and stretching exercises.
In particular the exercises work the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor, helping to create a centre of balance for the body,
improving core-muscle tone and alignment.

The difference it has made to my body shape and posture has been
noticed by others and I am often asked if I have lost weight.
I feel taller and slimmer and am constantly aware of my posture
as a result of my twice weekly classes.
Ruth is an excellent teacher, she clearly and carefully explains
the exercises. Even in a large class she is able to help and correct
each person by giving them individual attention.

for 5 weeks in Central on the recommendation of my
wife who has been doing Pilates for about two years.
My main motivation for taking Ruth's Pilates class
was because I saw the results it gave my wife and
because I wanted to improve my posture and stomach
and back muscles to alleviate back pain. I have
already noticed a difference since the 5 weeks since
I have been attending the classes and am much more

to get the most out of her Pilates
classes over the past four years.
Pilates is a mindful exercise and
Ruth is mindful that her clients do
each movement effectively, comfortably and above all,
safely. She always checks clients' injury histories,
remembers these details and adapts exercises
accordingly. Even in larger groups,
Ruth provides that personal touch

PILATES :
An extremely effective way of strengthening the Pelvic floor.

The pelvic floor is a layer of muscle that stretches from your pubic bone in the front to your tailbone at the back, forming the ‘floor’ of the pelvis. What does it do? A toned pelvic floor : *Supports the pelvic organs (bladder uterus and bowel). *Helps close off the bladder and bowel outlets to prevent leakage. *Contributes to sexual response and orgasm.
