I learned through pilates that I had weak core muscles and poor pelvic alignment resulting in pressure on my lower back. After attending weekly pilates classes at my local gym my backache gradually disappeared. Health practitioners are now putting more emphasis on individuals taking responsibility for their own health and well being. I see more and more people being referred to my classes from the health professionals. Knowing the benefits of Pilates I decided I wanted to share this knowledge and help make a difference to other peoples lives the same way Pilates made a difference to mine. So in 2010, I retrained to become a Pilates Instructor. After completion of my Pilates training I qualified with level 3 Diploma in Mat Pilates. I started teaching in various gyms and clubs, worked with a private physiotherapy practice, Clydebank College, the Golden Jubilee Hospital and the Western Tennis Club. Recently working with Glasgow City Council in their health and well being programme delivering Pilates Classes to Council staff. Now resident at Broomhill Tennis Club. Classes

About Pilates. Pilates is founded on 3 core principles:
A B C Alignment, Breathing and Core control
Alignment : is all about your posture. Poor posture can be the root of many aches and pains and can have debilitating effects. Breathing: Pilates teaches lateral thoracic breathing which is using the whole of your diaphragm when breathing, rather than breathing shallowly into the top of your chest. Learning better breathing patterns can be life changing in itself. Core Control: We have four deep core muscles that once engaged work together to form a strong core centre. Pilates teaches you to engage these muscles. Pilates focuses on strengthening the deep core muscles building a strong centre, which support the body in everyday life. Pilates. tones the body by lengthening and strengthening the muscles, giving the body a longer leaner look, allowing the individual to benefit from: improved flexibility, increase bone density, improved posture, and protection of the major joints and spine.

"I am a horse rider and my saddler recommended I try Pilates to strengthen my core and even myself up. After a few weeks at Jackie's class i started to see improvements. My weak side is stronger and my overall posture is much better. I have totally changed the way I think about riding and Pilates has also helped me get the best out of my workouts in the gym. My horse is happier, my riding instructor is delighted and as an added bonus my LBD showcases my new lean figure!" Lynsey
