I trained as a professional dancer in the mid 90s and after 10 years in the industry I decided to sidestep into Pilates as it felt like a natural progression where I still got to use my body for my work, but more importantly I got to help others to use theirs.  I was extremely...

The Lost Art of Hands On Teaching
JPilates Blog
by Joanne
10M ago
As Pilates teachers we have honed, perfected and excelled in our use of language to express our intentions and communicate. We may use visual demonstrations as another tool to enhance a participant’s understanding of an exercise, but what about the power of targeted tactile cueing to provide invaluable feedback and sensory input? To further clarify, I don’t just mean “hands on correction”. I believe this can create a negative response where the only time physical touch is used is because there is something wrong or incorrect. Rather with the power of our hands, we can help to create a deeper t ..read more

Neutral Spine-Is it important & has it any value?
JPilates Blog

“Find your neutral spine” “Am I in neutral? ” “Keep your pelvis in neutral” are all often heard in a Pilates class but what does it actually mean, is it important and does it have any value? (Just a quick note from the start to say that I don’t use the term “neutral” as I don’t think it is really understood and people tend to just go where it’s comfortable, as well as for the reasons below!) To understand “neutral” we need to consider what purpose it serves us in movement. The neutral position is often taught from an understanding that it gives us stability, an ideal position to move from.&nbs ..read more

Don’t say the C word!!
JPilates Blog

A long time ago (around 1996) in a galaxy far, far away……. the Core was born! Emerging from studies which demonstrated a change in onset timing of trunk muscles in persistent back pain and back injury, a whole industry based on the importance of core stability and training was brought to life. Pilates was one of many disciplines which evolved to promote and embed the assumption that training specific muscles of the trunk at a certain level would ensure the disappearance of back pain. But it is widely accepted that these findings were flawed and are now invalidated, the assumptions strongly ref ..read more

Why Am I (Still) In Pain?
JPilates Blog
by Joanne
1y ago
This is a question we are so often asked as Pilates teachers. Many people come to Pilates looking for a solution to long term pain- sometimes even unrealistically promised Pilates will solve their pain.  I say unrealistic as we can’t promise to even reduce pain as pain is complicated, no-one fully understands how pain works, pain is different for everyone and is multifactorial. If we consider that about 90% of low back pain is non-specific, meaning that the pain experience can’t be accounted for by tissue damage, pathology or disease, then the search for something being “broken” or “misal ..read more

“We retire too early and we die too young, our prime of life should be in the 70s and old age should not come until we are almost 100” Inspirational words by Joseph Pilates, who thoroughly lived and breathed his Method, remaining strong and vigorous well into his 80s.
