August 2020 – Pilates Classes Up-Date (Classes in South Dublin & Live-Online)

Below an update concerning my future weekly Pilates & Core Strength, Fitness Class timetable, how it will look like from early September 2020 onwards. Fingers crossed, Covid-19 numbers here in Dublin/Ireland stay low or will drop further so that we can go ahead with the?e local classes. 

I will offer a mix of (1) Online-Live-Virtual Classes and (2) local In-Person Classes in various local Community, Parish and Sport Centers in the South Dublin area (Dundrum, Rathfarnham, Sandyford, Leopardstown, Belarmine, Dublin 14, Dublin 16 and Dublin 18). 

Class Sizes are currently (1) Live-Virtual-Online Classes – 8-11 participants maximum, (2) Local In-Person Classes 8-10 participants maximum.

Pilates Classes in South Dublin *New Classes start early / mid *March 2016*

I’m going to start a new set of PIlates and other Fitness classes in South Dublin, in the Dublin 14, Dublin 16 and Dublin 18 area early, mid March 2016.

Do you want to
(1) Tone-Up
(2) Improve your Core Strength
(3) Boost your Energy
(4) Increase your Flexibility
(5) Prevent back issues and other injuries
(6) Up general Strength ?

A lot of us sit for hours in front of a computer or on a desk and rarely get up and take breaks. Even if we know a short stroll around the office, down to the canteen or even to a local park would be good for your back, give you a mental break, so you would come back refreshed and re-energized.

Pilates is great for loosening and strengthening your back, maintaining good posture and increasing core strength (abdominal and back). It will also help you to prevent or tackle various back, neck and other issues, as the majority of exercises are performed in a controlled and slow manner. This will allow you to increase awareness, you could even compare it with certain aspects of being mindful as you move.

Sports people also benefit from increased core strength to prevent injuries. All types of athletes and sporty individuals do Pilates and Core Work exercises. This included e.g. soccer player, rugby player, GAA player, people who play Golf etc. etc..

Individuals in their more mature years find Pilates beneficial as it helps them to (1) stay supple (2) maintain flexibility (3) keep their balance (4) increase and maintain mobility.
