FROM next month, Wendouree\u2019s OASIS Pilates Studio will facilitate a five-week reformer course for beginners.<\/p>\n

Director Dr Megan May said the sessions are ideal for those keen to develop their core strength and fitness, prevent injury, or simply return to exercise after the isolation periods of 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis beginner reformer Pilates class is for anyone who\u2019s a little bit hesitant, wants to take things slow and go at their own pace,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA reformer machine is a sliding bed that includes ropes, pulleys and springs, which means you can have endless amounts of different exercises, change resistance levels to make things easier or harder, and suit all fitness levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether we\u2019re working with elderly people, pregnant women or experienced athletes, we can make things as easy or as hard as we need to with these machines.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a focus on \u201cstrengthening and stretching,\u201d Dr May said reformer participants usually walk away from a session feeling refreshed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always a controlled workout that targets the full body; arms, legs and core, but these beginner classes are taken at a slower pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll learn about the reformer, familiarise yourself with it and how make things easier and harder,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaking things back to basics at a slower place, it gives people a chance to have confidence that they\u2019re doing things with great technique, activating the right muscles and areas, and reinforcing everything to progress their Pilates without any concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sessions will run at 9.30am each Saturday from 6 February at OASIS\u2019s Howitt Street studio.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice and big with lots of natural light, and a relaxing place to exercise supported by Eureka Osteo\u2019s clinic of health professionals,\u201d Dr May said.<\/p>\n
