Yes! I have taught many beginners over the years. Both Yoga & Pilates are both fantastic for your body I would encourage you to do one or the other or both! You don't need to be flexible for Yoga & Pilates, flexibility, strength, alignment will come with practice.
You will be treated as an individual, I offer rests and modifications throughout and slowly you will build up strength, stamina, balance, alignment and become familiar with postures & exercises.
If you're nervous about coming to a first class I can offer 1:1's, get in touch with me to find out more.
The benefits of a regular practice will make you wonder why you didn't start Yoga & Pilates earlier in your life? Here are just a few a few benefits,
Pilates: improves stabilisation of the spine, body awareness & control, reduces lower back pain, increase muscle tone particularly abdominal muscles, lower back, hips, buttocks, promotes good posture
Yoga: Improves strength, stamina, flexibility, balance, calms the mind, improves respiration. Helps with anxiety, insomnia & stress, increases body awareness & concentration, helps regulate bodyweight
Yogalates: all of the above
Yes but I would recommend coming after your 14th week, let the instructor know beforehand or find a prenatal class or someone with a qualification in prenatal Yoga & Pilates
No, Yoga is not religious. There is a spiritual side to Yoga, you may become open to the meditative qualitities of Yoga and more subtle effects on the mind.
