Nurturing Yoga and Pilates

Wednesday 12 - 12.30pm Online only.

Do you ever find yourself with tense shoulders or a cranky lower back - or feeling a bit fuzzy headed after a long session at your computer?

These sessions are designed to revitalise you with a combination of self massage, functional movement, yoga and pilates. This is a live, interactive session shared via zoom so Jo will be there to answer any questions and help you find the variation that is right for you.

Each week is different, some sessions are more energising and some are more relaxing - as we combine movement and self massage in creative ways.

If you have any additional props like a foam roller, spiky ball, Makarlu or yoga block please have them handy - it will give you extra options!

This course is all about tuning in to your individual needs and working towards balance, enhanced core strength and pelvic floor awareness. We'll also be giving the knees, back and shoulders some extra love!

You can practice each of the 5 videos individually or combine together for a longer workshop style experience.

Just like in our live classes the Nurturing Yoga and Pilates Course combines Pilates movements and mobility props like the foam roller and peanut with a Yogic sensibility and a focus on breath and sensory awareness.

Enhanced core strength and pelvic floor awareness - Pilates props like the foam roller and stability ball are great for building strength in a supported way. This supports better balance, posture and confidence in a wide range of movements.

Everyone is able to work at their own level - since most of these movements are floor based or supported with props this is a great class for everyone to feel comfortable in. Jo has done specific training in Accessible Yoga for larger bodies (Fat Yoga with Sarah Harry), Pilates for Active Aging, Pre and Post Natal Pilates and years of experience supporting students with MS, and rehabilitating different injuries.

This is a great Pre or Post Natal class, as well as the core strength and stability benefits, the focus on nurturing and self care is very beneficial and important before and after giving birth! Always get a doctor's ok to return to exercise, but there will be lots of great practice options here for you when you are ready.

This is also a great active rest practice for athletes or anyone with specific training goals - this is a great chance to nurture your body and balance out the rest of your movement repertoire.

Just wear whatever you are comfortable in - clothes that are easy to move and relax in.

This practice is very gentle and adaptable. There are no specific contraindications, but if you have any injuries or health conditions be sure to mention them when you fill out your New Client Form and feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.
