Tutor: Jane Oates
Jane trained with Polestar Pilates to complete her Pilates Mat Series training about 10 years ago. Through her work and training as an Osteopath she began to develop an interest in Pilates Exercise. The principles of Osteopathy and Pilates are very similar and aim to achieve optimum mechanical and structural function either through treatment or exercise. The principles of movement in Pilates aim to develop complete coordination of the body, mind and spirit which is necessary for a healthy lifestyle.
One of the Pilates main principles is improvement through movement. Jane believes that efficiency in movement helps to maintain structure and health within the body, which has an impact on preventing reoccurrences of injuries and maintaining health and well being. Jane enjoys teaching mat-classes every week and one-to-one sessions. Jane has recently completed her Polestar reformer Pilates training and is working towards her examination at the end of the year.
Jane took her Pilates group to Portugal in March 2024 and everyone enjoyed it so much, they are now ready to sample another retreat, this time in Morocco.
