Pilates (January 2008 – July 2008)

I taught a beginners/intermediate Pilates class in St. Joseph’s church hall Portishead, Bristol once a week for approximately 6 months. Class numbers ranged from 6 to 10 participants on a weekly basis. Classes used an arrange of pilates props including dyna bands, pilates balls and stability balls and all classes were designed on the basis of the original pilates principles.

Pilates (Oct 2008 – November 2008) JJB Health and Fitness Centre, Belfast

I acted as a cover instructor for beginners/intermediate Pilates class for seven consecutive weeks in JJB Health and Fitness Centre, Boucher Road, Belfast. The class was mixed ability from complete beginners to participants with some experience; therefore I had to teach a range of levels for each exercise. I mainly taught them matwork based exercises but did incorporate dyna bands and pilates balls into the routine. For one of the session I used the Swiss Ball for the entire session and broke exercises down to allow all levels of ability to participate.

Pilates (November 2008 – Present), Letterkenny Community Centre

I run a pre-book 5 week Pilates courses for beginners/intermediate at Letterkenny community Centre on Saturday mornings. Most participants are absolute beginners so I mainly focused the sessions towards basic matwork and used the props to help them with body alignment, body awareness and to help them focus them on which muscles they should be activating while concentrating on breathing techniques. For those with experience I normally challenge them by giving them the next level of the exercise.

Pilates (December 2008 - January 2009) David Lloyd Leisure Centre, Belfast

At the start of December I started at David Lloyd Leisure Centre in Dondonald and provided 6 weeks of cover for their Thursday night beginners/intermediate Pilates class.

January - March 2009 Cover Instructor Queens PEC

Was a cover instructor for Pilates and circuits classes at Queens PEC in Belfast. All classes were mixed ability.
