Anna - owner of Pilates Centre and Pilates obsessed 🤸🏼 oh, and it’s me 🤗

Do any of my answers resonate? Like, surely, I’m not the only person to still struggle with Neck Pull 25 years into a regular practice 🫣

We’ve been asked for this one for a while…!

I’ll guide you through a flowing Intermediate Reformer workout, including transitions, while cueing you safely on how to set up the classical apparatus and work those classical springs to your advantage!

Maybe you’ve never tried Classical apparatus….
Maybe you never understood why we follow a specific order…
Maybe you want to refine the goal of an exercise and why it has specific spring guidelines…
Maybe you just want to move and not be the teacher for the evening…!

We welcome you! If you’ve anything specific you’ve wanted to ask us about - our teaching style or classical apparatus - we can hang back afterwards for a chat.

While we won’t expect you to know the apparatus and order, we will expect that if you’re a teacher you know how to mind yourself during this flowing workout.

Head to the ‘workshops’ tab of our booking system to nab your spot (the only 8!).

‘How many exercises and apparatus ARE there?!’

WHAT an afternoon with the dream studio team 🤩 The talented Steve and Ricardo were equally dream team members on the day, helping us document what we do in our Pilates haven ❤️

The goal of this shoot was to showcase endless movement possibilities of the full Classical system of Pilates… The guys couldn’t get over just how many different pieces of apparatus we were pulling out and just how many different exercises there are!

We probably filmed more than a hundred exercises on more than 15 pieces of different apparatus… but that was the culled down version of the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of exercises we have to our teaching disposal!

This is what an authentic Classical Pilates studio looks like 🤗 A treasure trove of apparatus with teachers trained in every exercise on every piece, with the skills to know what exactly YOUR body needs for whatever body you come in with on any day ❤️

The Pilates Cadillac ❤️

In group classes we use the Cadillacs in our Tower classes. The Tower is a more compact version of the Cadillac which allows for 90% of the ‘Caddy’ exercises to be done on there. You DO however miss out on a few fab things that only the Cadillac offers when you’re solely attending group lessons…

Here’s my insiders advice for anyone only doing group lessons…. Private lessons are where you’ll REALLY experience your Pilates progress!

• The lesson is tailored to you
• You have access to ALL of the apparatus
• 100% of the Cadillac’s capabilities are available to you
• You have our world class teachers TO YOURSELF to ensure you’re always getting the most out of every movement 🥵

If you haven’t done a private Pilates lesson before, or maybe it’s been a while… What are you waiting for?! Book yourself some YOU time ❤️

Mat. The heart of the Pilates Method ❤️ and a non-negotiable part of your movement schedule if you’re a Pilates lover.

Mat Pilates, when practiced consistently, will:
❤️ Improve your strength and flexibility
❤️ Boost your circulation
❤️ Challenge your co-ordination
❤️ Challenge your balance
❤️ Help you move with more ease in your day to day activities

Mat classes at our Clontarf studio are done on Classical Mats. These mats:
❤️ Have the optimum cushioning to support your spine in rolling exercises
❤️ Have a Foot Strap to assist opening the back with balance in the Roll Up and Neck Pull exercises
❤️ Have Dowels to help connect the arms to the back better in exercises, as well as open the chest
❤️ We have ALL supporting apparatus, big and small, to target specific movement goals. Sometimes they’re used to fire up a connection before doing the Mat exercises. Sometimes they’re used throughout the Mat lesson to keep a specific focus. Sometimes they’re used at the end of lesson to leave you aware of a particular focus for the hours and days after your lesson.

You have multiple ways to practice Mat Pilates with us:
❤️ Studio Mat - our group Mat classes. Just 9 participants so you’re individually seen within the small group
❤️ Private Lessons - always tailored to your individual needs and goals
❤️ Video Library - We have a library of Mat workouts that you can do anywhere in your own time

See you on the Mat ❤️

A regular and consistent practice will lead you to banking those Pilates benefits 💪

Our Classical Reformers are the PERFECT PARTNER to your Pilates practice ❤️ Intentionally designed to support and resist your movement in all the right places. Get ready to decompress your joints and fire up your centre 🔥

Experiencing authentic Pilates on true Classical apparatus for the first time was a game changer for me. The apparatus allowed me such a deep connection to my movement - so much so that I swapped out all of my studio apparatus from the more ‘popular’ styles you see everywhere! NOT a cheap swap out, but worth it to ensure you guys can feel it too ❤️

Want to experience it for yourself?! Come visit us in Clontarf, Dublin ✨

Ready to move up levels? We love to hear it!

When to move up levels is personal to everyone - have a chat with one of our teachers when you’re thinking of moving up and they can advise and get you ready for that! Once ready, EMAIL THE DESK (info@pilatescentre.ie) to tell us you’re ready and agree that you clear the pre-requisites to join.

We’ve set the booking system so it DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY allow high level bookings - we MANUALLY enable that at the desk. So DO MAKE SURE to chat to us when you’re feeling ready to move up ❤️
