***************STRICTLY COME HOSPICE VALENTINES SPECIAL*****************

Jenni Todd in the Tuesday evening 6.45pm class is in the Strictly Come Hospice Valentine Special at 7.30pm on Friday 17th February, 2012 at The Colosseum, Watford and will be doing the Cha Cha Cha.

This is to raise money for The Peace Hospice in Watford (http://www.peacehospice.co.uk/). This is a really valuable charity. I personally have recently lost a friend to Ovarian Cancer at the age of 44 years and I know the incredible work that Hospices like The Peace Hospice do.

Anyone wanting to support this charity, please sponser Jenni at: www.virginmoneygiving.com/jennitodd THANK YOU!

Move Well... Stay Well!

Joseph Hubertus Pilates

"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. In order to achieve happiness, it is imperative to gain mastery of your body. If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young."

What Is Pilates

The Pilates Method represents a unique approach to exercise that develops body awareness, improving and changing the body's postural and alignment habits and increasing flexibility and ease of movement.

The core fundamentals of the Method are based upon a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the human body. The Pilates Teacher uses this information to create a comprehensive exercise programme for each client with the aim of restoring a greater sense of balance. It is this holistic approach that sets the Method apart from many other forms of exercise. Indeed Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and General Practitioners are now recommending Pilates as one of the safest forms of exercise today.

It is beneficial for:

General fitness and body awareness
Pregnancy: Pre and post natal
Injury prevention
Remedial and rehabilitation exercise
Improvement of technique for athletes and dancers
The elderly
For children and teenagers

Pilates helps to:

Increase and create a balance between strength and flexibility
Create an awareness of and strengthen dynamic stability
Improve coordination
Release stress
Improve posture
