Pilates Studio in Ashburton, Devon
Anya Langmead has now opened a new Pilates studio just outside Ashburton in Devon. Clients can come and learn matwork and how to use the machines, on a 'one to one' basis. This allows for individual attention and therefore speedier progress. The Studio is equipped with a Performer (similar to the reformer)and a Wunda chair. Clients can also attend a small group class for matwork at a time convenient to them.
The exercises taught are classical Pilates and the neutral spine. These are combined with yoga preparatory poses for additional stretching and awareness.
Pilates is invaluable for the prevention of bad backs, to correct poor posture and to rehabilitate injury. It is beneficial to anyone - fit or unfit, old or young!
Pilates weekends and holidays
If you wish to learn and practise Pilates whilst on holiday in Devon there are many hotels and B&Bs to stay at local to the studio. Lavender House Hotel and Holne Chase Hotel are very close by. Daily Pilates sessions can be arranged to fit in with any other activities.
Pilates exercise sessions on the Performer
The Performer is a machine, which allows for a full body workout and abdominal strengthening whilst keeping the back in a very stable and safe position.
