“I love all of the
classes & always
feel better having
done one.”

“The mat classes are great to elevate aches and pains, and build up strength. Her cardio classes somehow strike a balance between being adrenaline-pumping breathlessly challenging to a fun lunchtime break from work. Barre is something that I am new to, and despite your thighs feeling like they are on fire (in a good way) you will find yourself booking another class!”

FAQs

Absolutely beginners welcomed and cheered on! All classes offer modifications and variations to make the exercise most suitable to your body on any given day. Some days, even the most advanced person doesn’t want to burpee… trust me, I get it. We’re here to encourage and support all abilities.

Some classes are, some are not.

Everyone's pregnancy and birth is different. It’s a no-brainer that staying fit and healthy both physically and mentally is one of the best things you can do for you and your baby, both during pregnancy and after. However, you may not be feeling babe-like atm– which is totally normal. If you’re feeling well and up for exercise, by all means have at it. If not, listen to your body and join when you’re feeling more up to it.

Please consult your doctor or midwife before beginning an exercise programme during pregnancy. It is not advisable to try a new, strenuous activity and we suggest using caution during the first 12 weeks (first trimester).

Postnatal mamas are welcome to join once given the 6-week all clear from their GP or midwife. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact me directly: pilatesandtara@gmail.com

My Barre classes are for the most part suitable during pregnancy and postnatal, with a few caveats:

  1. The abs section is not suitable past the first trimester, and may need slight adjustments post natal depending on c-section, ab separation and other variables. There are a number of gentle re-engagement exercises that can be done postnatally to work back into the abs section. You might instead choose to welcome a little rest here (which is often what many of my pregnant and postnatal mamas choose to do).
  2. The hormone relaxin will make you stretchier than usual, which may seem like a plus, but we can easily overdo it so it’s best to work within a smaller range of movement.
  3. Jumping: there is on occasion some hopping in Barre. There is nothing wrong with jumping or hopping during or post pregnancy – IF your body is used to it and you feel okay with this. There is always a low-impact option, if jumping feels off the table for you.

Please reach out to me directly for advice in participating in Pilates, Strength Training and Dance Cardio classes.


Injuries present in different ways on different bodies, so it’s best to get in touch with me to discuss if you’re unsure as a 1-2-1 session might be more suitable to begin with. I’m not medically trained, but I do have pilates and fitness-specific training for a number of common injuries. 

Absolutely not. My classes are about functional movement and mobility, not whether you can do the splits or not!

Definitely, definitely not. There is some coordination involved, but having two left feet won’t affect your enjoyment or stop you improving your strength and mobility! If anything, you’ll find your coordination naturally starts to improve.

 “Change happens through movement and movement heals.”
