On may 8th we are running an informative workshop for suitably qualified Pilates instructors  on Pilates based restorative movements for women recovering from breast cancer – this is not a substitute for any medical / therapy treatment -

our mission with this workshop is to work with the  growing support for research that suggests moderate exercise can aid post-operative breast cancer recovery and improve quality of life for women who been through a breast cancer operation.
In the field of health and fitness, as its main focus is to ‘building body core strength and stability’, Pilates is acknowledged as an accessible form of training where exertion is considered to be relatively moderate.
Employing Pilates to aid recuperation is not a new idea. Specific Pilates programs have been successfully employed to aid recovery and recuperation in many health conditions.
Progressive Pilates for Breast Cancer Rehabilitation is devised on the central Pilates principle of building body core strength and stability.
This advanced Pilates program is sensitively designed to assist breast cancer survivors with a comfortable recovery and resumption of a more active lifestyle.
The holistic program is designed to aid the restoration of harmony, strength and mobility as well as range of motion not only in the shoulder girdle but in the entire body. It also addresses muscular imbalances due to specific surgeries.
Our workshop will provide the instructor with the knowledge and skills to assist women who are in post-operative recovery and help them in rebuilding their strength, self-esteem and quality of life

Instructors  join us on May 8th at our workshop it promises to be an inspirational day.
