Take A Look At My Pilates Facebook Page

I have been dragged kicking and screaming into the realm of Social Media. I've avoided it for a long time because I believed it was a fad that would eventually go away! Alas (I mean good!) it hasn't so I'm embracing it now before it's to late :)

I picked Facebook because almost everyone I know has one and it's an excellent platform for posting videos and other Pilates related stuff.

It also gives you the opportunity to ask me Pilates related questions which I'd be delighted to answer. So if you have a few minutes why not click the link below and take a look? I'll be adding more videos and articles as time allows (I still have to earn a living).

Pilates Beginners Where Do You Start?

If you're a complete beginner at Pilates where do you start? Most people start with a beginners Pilates book but very soon realize that they just don't have the information a complete beginner needs. They almost always make some assumptions about your current skill level.

• Do they teach you the Zip & Hollow in enough detail?
• Do the teach how to find Neutral in all positions?
• Do they teach How to use a block?
• Do they have a detailed video on each exercise
• Do they teach you the correct mind set?

I know the answer is no because I've bought most of the Beginners Pilates books available to find exercises for my own classes. The books are good and written by some of the greatest Pilates Instructors in the world but they are not of much use to a complete beginner.

So Carol and I (Bob) decided to create a monthly beginners Pilates Subscription Program that would take a complete beginner (assuming nothing) through a comprehensive and safe Pilates course which would enable them to get the well known benefits of Pilates with minimum risk and at a pace a beginner can deal with - not to slow and not to fast.

To discover whether this program might be for you (because it won't suit everyone) please click the following link The Beginners Pilates Program
