Private and Duet Sessions at Afterglow
The Studio Pilates sessions at Afterglow are individually tailored to your strengths, current limitations and personal goals. The intimate setting and small class sizes ensure an exceptional and rewarding experience and an extremely high level of degree of attention. If you have an injury or condition your session will be more focused on rehabilitation, and
whether or not you have injuries or restrictions, you can expect a nuanced full body workout personalised to your needs. The Studio Pilates equipment, namely Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, High Barrel and small apparatus, enables the client to use their body in a nuanced, concentrated and intense manner. The Pilates equipment incorporates spring tension, which is used to strengthen specific muscle groups. The spring load challenges as well as assists the client to achieve exercises that would be less effective or impossible if attempted on a mat with the unsympathetic effects of gravity. If you are frustrated with Matwork or Group Reformer classes and are often left feeling that you are not challenged enough, or are pushed too hard, or worse, have injured yourself during a group class, then Studio Pilates sessions at Afterglow are likely just what you need. The Pilates Method
The Pilates Method improves strength, flexibility, balance, and mobility. It prevents issues such as lower back pain and remedies postural deviances. Pilates also incorporates a unique breathing technique which enables the client to engage their core throughout each exercise. This breathing technique improves your strength and balance, and thereby helps to prevent injury. By strengthening the connection between the mind and the body, Pilates also thwarts anxiety and lethargy. It is incredibly effective for post-injury rehabilitation, pre-natal preparation and post-natal recuperation. It is also a renowned system of body conditioning for athletes and dancers. However, studio Pilates sessions at Afterglow offer a form of exercise that is safe and suitable for everyone, including those that usually hate exercise. We live in a society where most people work at a desk, which is evidently very detrimental to the functionality of our bodies. If you spend your workday sitting at a computer and a lot of your free time watching Netflix or looking at your phone, it is likely that your abdominals and upper back are elongated and weak and that your lower back and hamstrings, among other things, are short and tight. Pilates is the perfect way to counteract the negative effects of sitting for long periods of time. It re-educates your body to be able to move through your day pain free and with strength and dexterity. Afterglow Pricing

Kishore Ryan
Kishore Ryan discovered Pilates following a back injury in 2012. As a result of practicing the Pilates Method his back pain disappeared entirely, his posture improved considerably, and he grew an inch taller. Since then, Pilates has enabled Kishore to get rid of pain in various parts of his body. Helping his clients experience similar results is one of his favourite things about teaching. Recently, after experiencing persistent knee pain, Kishore became interested in toe and foot exercises somewhat outside of, but very much related to, the conventional Pilates repertoire. He has found that strengthening and mobilising one’s feet has a remarkable effect not just on one’s feet and knees, but also on their pelvis, back and neck. His sessions focus on breath as the foundation of movement, not just as a way to improve core control, but also as a means to reduce stress and anxiety. Education
