DESCRIPTION

​

Learn movements to lengthen, strengthen, tone and build supportive strength for the body

Somalates - a pro-aging movement class

​

Joseph Pilates and Thomas Hanna were both fascinated with the body aging well. Thomas Hanna's take on anti-aging was using gentle, conscious movements to encourage short, tight muscles to release + re-set

Joseph Pilates believed that as the body ages, poor posture and underdeveloped muscles could restrict daily movement and life. His interest was in toning the stabilisers of the body to relieve back pain, improve posture and make movement feel freer; core muscles also provide a stable base for the rest of the body to move with more control, strength, fluidity and ease. 

Relieve some of the common signs of aging such as stiffness, mild to moderate muscle and joint pain, reduced range of movement and stooped posture in a Somalates class. Suitable for all apart from during pregnancy. With regular Somalates practice, you may find your everyday movements and hobbies feel more enjoyable and efficient, with improved function so walking, running, playing and sleeping feel more comfortable

​

REDUCE LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY

In my GSY classes, we've focussed on melting away years of tension. Somalates offers further additional benefits through toning the core muscles of the body. Feel even longer, leaner, taller, stronger and empowered, reducing the likelihood of injury due to posture improvements + greater inner muscle support

The bodily decrepitude presumed under the myth of ageing is not inevitable. It is, by and large, both avoidable and reversible. I know this to be true, because I have seen it occur thousands of times…
