What is Intermediate Pilates?
Intermediate Pilates builds on the fundamentals of breath, alignment and core control with more advanced exercises and flowing sequences. It asks a little more of your strength, stability and coordination, while keeping the precision and mindfulness at the heart of the method.
Rachel’s extensive experience, including working with clients through pregnancy, osteoporosis and multiple sclerosis, means she’s skilled at offering progressions and adaptations for every body.
