New beginners class starts -- Posted by Lindsay on Friday, April 25 2008
The latest Pilatesactive beginners course started at Radcliffe Chiropractic Clinic, on Thursday 24th April. It is at an ideal time for clients who are working in Nottingham or who tend to work later, starting at 8pm.
Lindsay Stiles of Pilatesactive welcomed the new group and highlighed what the aim of the course was:
You’ll…………………..
o find it relaxing, focusing, challenging and FUN!
o be able to find your pelvic neutral position and practice maintaining a neutral spine (or a safe modification) throughout the exercises
o have increased pelvic floor & abdominal strength & tone
o work towards performing a double leg raise whilst keeping aligned, stable and relaxed. A double leg raise is a stepping stone for harder exercises (everyone is different and some people may not achieve this in 8 weeks)
o be more aware and have a better understanding of your body and posture
o understand how to contract the muscle groups you want to work whilst others remain relaxed e.g. pelvic floor from gluteal muscles, shoulders from deep abdominals
o practice development of a good breathing technique so that you can progress to more difficult Pilates exercises and translate that technique to benefit you in daily living
o have gained an understanding that you can use for the rest of your life
There are plans for a Friday morning class to start soon so if YOU are interested please contact us

Pilates on the radio! -- Posted by Lindsay on Monday, November 26 2007
It was revealed this morning (26th November) that Pilates active founder Lindsay Stiles almost instantly assisted a Radio Nottingham listener after she was interviewed by Radio Nottingham's Francis Finn on Monday 19th November. Talking on the Morning show Lindsay ran through a couple of exercises to start Francis and the listeners on the road to well being and stronger core muscles. Bill, the listener, took note, practiced the exercises and found himself relieved of lower back pain within a very short space of time. Francis Finn got both Lindsay and Bill on air so that Bill could offer his thanks to the pilates specialist - "I owe you a drink" he said to Lindsay! Well done Bill for having a go!

No summer break in Pilates Classes at Radcliffe Chiropractic Clinic -- Posted by Lindsay on Thursday, July 26 2007
You may be wondering how you are going to manage without your usual pilates class over the summer months. You may be concerned you will loose abdominal strength and overall flexibility (becuse most of us intend to practice on our own - but something always gets in the way!). If so, then try a Pilatesactive group class or one-to-one tuition at Radcliffe Chiropractic Clinic or 'at home'and brush up your skills.
Pilatesactive is going to be on-hand during this holiday season to give you the additional tuition you feel you need. Alternatively you may want help to start learning more about this form of exercise that develops and unites the body and the mind.
Contact Lindsay by phone or email with any queries you may have
