Pilates is the buzzword in fitness today - yet it has already been delivering results for well over eighty years. During that time its devotees have included leading figures from the worlds of film, dance and professional sport.
Pilates is a safe, effective form of body conditioning. It works by strengthening the core postural muscles; re-balancing the body and bringing it back into correct alignment. The result? A longer, leaner body, because the exercises are done in a slow, controlled way, providing much longer-term results. It is also a great way of relieving unwanted stress and tension.
Because Pilates strengthens the deep stabilising muscles of the trunk, it is ideal for the prevention and treatment of back problems - one reason why it enjoys support from the medical and sporting professions.
Class numbers are limited to twelve clients, so that a high level of personal supervision and tuition can be given. Beginner's classes are suitable for first-time exercisers. Private 1-1 sessions can also be arranged upon request.
Mat classes consist of slow controlled exercises performed at a gentle pace. Most are executed lying down on a mat on, with some exercises in a kneeling, sitting or standing position.
Eden is an ex-professional ballet / contemporary dancer and choreographer, who trained at the Rambert Academy and danced for nine years in a German ballet company. She left the profession with a back injury and turned to Pilates during rehabilitation.
The important part Pilates played managing her own injury, led her to qualify as a Body Control Pilates instructor. Body Control Pilates is widely seen as a quality standard for Pilates teaching.
Eden's Pilates sessions focus on the importance of core stability combined with good body mechanics. Her goal is to help clients create normal, natural movement, through improved body awareness, tension release and correct postural alignment.
Eden works in association with Sevenoaks Physiotherapy, as well as running her own private group classes and 1-2-1 sessions.
