Absolutely. All of my classes provide options from absolute beginners to advanced. I adapt the class to your individual needs, so that you do not need to try adapt to the class.

I teach Pilates, yoga flow/ vinyasa, Hatha yoga, restorative yoga and Pilates & Yoga fusion.

Yes. Many people enjoy the experience of the retreats solo. Here is a blog from Natalie Glaze on why she enjoyed her solo experience on our retreat: http://www.natalieglaze.com/solo-travel-and-the-lessons-i-learnt/

No. If you feel like you are not flexible enough, then this is exactly what you should be doing. Both yoga and Pilates will improve your flexibility.

Class style is very individual. It is often a good idea to try different styles to find what you enjoy. If you enjoy it you are more likely to keep it up.

Not at all. People often try yoga later in life. Research shows that yoga reduces pain and mobility issues. There are limitations to certain conditions or joint replacements. Being a physiotherapist, I can adapt poses to suit individual needs.

Yes. A physiotherapist will carry out an assessment to provide you with a diagnosis. You will then be given a treatment plan specific to you and teach you skills to take care of you r condition. This will help you return to normal activity and maximise your recovery.

To optimise recovery it is advised to avoid any aggravating activities. This is activities that produce pain during, after and the next morning flowing activity. A physiotherapist can give you advice and guide you on appropriate activities and when it is best to return to the activities or sport.

It is advisable to wear cloths that do not restrict your range of motion. It is also important that you feel comfortable. People wear things that range from shorts to leggings and sports wear to lounge wear.

It is important that you do not wear cloths that cover up the area needing to be assessed. An example of this is not wearing tight jeans if you have a sore knee. Instead wear loose fitting trousers or shorts. If you are getting your spine assessed , loose tops can be more comfortable to wear and not a dress that would need to be lifted.

What you will experience from a massage will depend on the style. A relaxation massage should use soothing and gliding strokes. Deep tissue and sport massages will have a firmer pressure. You might experience 'therapeutic discomfort'. Your therapist will never be offended if you request a change in pressure to suit your needs. You will be asked to strip down to your underwear and cover yourself with a towel, in privacy. During the massage any intimate areas will remain covered. After the massage you will be left in privacy to redress yourself. If you would feel more comfortable in clothing. Make sure they are comfortable and loose. The best way to find what massage style suits you is to experience different styles.
