Make daily movements easier with one-to-one Pilates support
Community classes aren’t for everyone – perhaps you’re a beginner who feels a little apprehensive about joining a group class, or you’re a regular looking for more one-to-one support.
That’s why we’re really pleased to be collaborating with Sophia Abbey, who is now running private and semi-private Pilates classes right here from our Ilkley clinic! These classes are all about you – with sessions fully tailored to suit your goals, experience and fitness level.
Many people prefer private or semi-private classes for the following reasons:
✔ Your instructor will give you their undivided attention, adapting exercises to your body, flexibility and fitness level and personalising support and feedback
✔ You can focus more easily on a specific goal that’s important to you – for example, core strength for a particular sport or postnatal recovery
✔ Your instructor can accommodate injuries or rehabilitation modifications more easily
✔ You determine the pace of your session – not a group average
✔ It feels less intimidating, especially for beginners – attend on your own or have a laugh with a friend!
✔ You build a stronger relationship with your instructor
✔ You can choose a session time that suits you, rather than having to fit into a fixed class timetable

She’s now offering private mat sessions (or shared sessions for two people) exclusively at our Ilkley clinic! This is an amazing opportunity to gain one-to-one Pilates support, either on your own or with a friend. Sophia also has a pre-natal and post-natal qualification and is more than happy for parents to bring their babies along to class with them.

Classes are priced at £45 for 1-to-1 or £60 for 2-to-1.
The benefits of Pilates
Pilates is an excellent form of low-impact exercise, which is adaptable to fit all ages and abilities. It helps you to:
✔ build a stronger core and reduce back pain
✔ improve your overall posture
✔ increase your flexibility and range of motion
✔ relieve tension and make daily movements easier
✔ prevent injury and enhance your recovery
✔ reduce stress and boost your mood
Pilates can be a great way of getting back into exercise after an injury. It also complements other activities really well, such as mobility for runners or weightlifters.
That’s why we feel Pilates is a wonderful addition to our osteopathy clinic – to help you feel and move better.
Visit our website to book your initial assessment at a time and date to suit you. Can’t find anything suitable? No problem – please send Sophia an email at hello@flowosteopathy.co.uk and she’ll review her availability for you.
