“The world breaks everyone, and afterwards, some become strong at the broken places” – Ernest Hemmingway
“Why not acquire the tools and insights to prevent fracturing under trying conditions by becoming strong enough to deal with life and learning how to bend! – Dr Bernie S Siegel
Welcome to Profile Pilates movement coaching.
In the Dr Bernie Siegel quote above, he was talking about the soul. I think this applies to the body too. If you are injured or in pain, my aim is to help you to keep moving and guide you through detailed movements to help you unlock movement and gain strength. If you’re not injured, you need this too. The modern world isn’t all that kind to our bodies, but we can work to move better and feel stronger and younger and cope well with the challenges life throws our way.
My name is Angie Row and I’m a fully qualified Body Control Pilates teacher with 13 years experience teaching classes and 1-1 sessions in Milton Keynes, Newport Pagnell and surrounding area.
Prevent pain. Learn how to use your body better.
Pilates helps you to process different movement patterns and moves all of your joints through their full range. The movements create better flexibility of the spine, mobilise stiff joints and train your brain to use your new body efficiently – leaving you with more energy to enjoy life! I’m still learning from every new client who helps me join the dots to unlock movement capability. We don’t learn a series of exercises! Instead we explore and challenge our movement capability based on the Pilates principles. My aim is for you to know yourself better and understand what challenges you and why. Then we get to work! We will always be improvers.
Do you want to really move?
No matter how active you are, often there are bits of us that stay sedentary. By learning to move in alignment you are giving your body space to work efficiently and unlock some of the sedentary parts. In our busy lives, we spend time sitting at desks, driving and looking at devices. Pilates exercises really help to counterbalance these activities and uncurl the body, lengthening the spine, leaving you walking tall!
Matwork Classes
My classes focus on matwork exercises with slow and controlled movements. Initially, all equipment is provided, you just bring yourself and wear comfortable clothes that you can move in. We limit the numbers in the class to a maximum of 12 so that your teacher can keep an eye on your alignment and technique during the exercises.
One-to-one
One to one sessions are essential for those new to Pilates. During the first 60 minute session we get to know one another and you can learn about your current postural and movement habits. Small movements take a lot of control so it’s really useful to have this time to practise and go over the detail before joining a group class.
Some clients prefer a regular one to one environment, especially if illness or injury makes a group setting unsuitable. We can develop bespoke exercises just for your particular needs to build strength where you need it most.
