What a great fun we had today in Pilates class in Venue360 in Luton - it was such a nice weather we had our class outside :) 

ALL changes from September :)

September 2015 is going to be the most interesting month - nearly everything changes in my life... 

I have lived with my friends more than 3 years in a beautiful big house and we used to be like a big family. Time has passed, people changed and it is time to move towards something new, better, brighter, happier :)

So I am in a process of moving to a nice flat and I will have an awesome space to practice my yoga :D 

Also, because I am teaching more and more, my time is precious and I need to plan my timetable to be the most sufficient so I can do my best all the time, in all classes :) 

I know the changes are not great for everyone, but I hope I did my best to arrange the classes so most of you can make them.

Pilates Workout: The Magic Circle

First created and named by Joseph Pilates himself, the “magic circle” remains a versatile and highly effective tool for today’s Pilates practitioners. Space-efficient and transportable, it is an ideal small-equipment option for personal trainers and group instructors alike. By thinking imaginatively, you can use it successfully on Pilates classes.

Over the years the magic circle has come to be known by many names, including the exercise or fitness ring, the power ring or power circle, and resistance ring. Materials used to make the various models available range from sprung steel to flexible plastic, and the substance determines the degree of tension or resistance: the stronger the material, the greater the resistance. Models vary in size, and many are made with comfortable foam grips that provide a cushion for the hands and ankles. Before purchasing a magic circle, do your homework and be sure the model you choose suits your needs and will be long-lasting.

Benefits Of The Magic Circle

• provides resistance for muscular strength and endurance
• assists in the isolation and activation of specific muscle groups
• supports the weight of the limbs
• provides proprioception cues for the neuromuscular system
• is ideal for isometric training to increase strength at varying joint angles
• adds additional resistance when held between ankles or hands, increasing overall challenge of exercise
• is a great tool for dynamic stability for both the hip and shoulder joints
• guides the placement of the body
• is light-weight, affordable and versatile
• is easy to store and transport
• is fun!! :)
