The new term will start on Tuesday 3rd January 2017 and will be a 7 week term costing £52.50 (£45.50 concessions) & £59.50 Sticks. Mondays are a 6 week term £45.00/Cons £39.00. If I could please request all payments for the new term be in by the end of this term (17th Dec), as it gets very busy in January and it would help me ensure classes are not over-subscribed. Thank you. – Jakki, Purely Pilates North East.
How often do you lose your concentration, forget what you’re going to say or are on the verge of a really good idea when it drops out of your head? Life is hectic, we all have a lot on and keeping up with yourself can often be tricky.
Concentration is necessary to thrive in your chosen vocation, helping hone your vision & execute goals successfully.
Pilates can provide an avenue through which you can strengthen your concentration, which will certainly benefit every aspect of your life.
You’ll focus on the job at hand, get it done quicker and probably won’t forget what you went to the shops for. Improve you, with Pilates.

A new study, undertaken by scientists at the University of Pittsburgh has discovered that Pilates might be effective at beating stress due to the movements used calming a part of the brain linked to the fight-or-flight response.
The scientists found a circuit which links the brain to the ‘adrenal mudulla’ which is the inner part of the adrenal gland. This triggers an adrenaline surge during stressful situations. The same brain network was also found to be connected to the brain’s motor cortex which governs movement.
Life is full of stress, we know this. It causes effects on the body like a pounding heart, sweating and dilated pupils, but also triggers a cognitive surge allowing for a quick summing up of the situation. If someone insults you, you probably don’t want to either run away or punch them in the face. You may wish to let it wash over you, or come back with a thought out response. Pilates is great for stress management.
