Karen's Pilates Classes in Pilates, Hanna Somatic movement and Nordic Wallking activites, in and around Inverness, Drumnadrochit and Dingwall.

Hello everyone...I'd like to help encourage everyone to enjoy Pilates and movement. Since Joseph Pilates first designed this innovative movement technique, it has been developing ever since. So many different styles of teaching Pilates have been introduced, however it still holds its essence, increasing awareness, balance, coordination, posture and strength. It is possible to enjoy its benefits an

d with time and practise it can change the way you move and feel about your body. I have loved the benefits of Pilates since I started practising it for myself in 1999. It was first recommended to me as a way of developing my core stability after many injuries from running and hypermobile joints. I have now been teaching Pilates since 2004, and it is part of my life. Nordic Walking is a technique using specifically designed poles, to enhance natural walking. It complements with Pilates so very well. I am including any relevant links to Nordic Walking on this page too. I teach classes in the Highlands of Scotland, in Inverness, Drumnadrochit, the Great Glen and Dingwall and will update everyone with information about current and future lessons on this page.

It was a pleasure to meet the ESOL Learnerse for a Walking for Life Nordic Walking Session last week in the sunshine 🌞. Great to have a stretch and a walk around Bught Park. The ESOL Learners group who took part are based at the Spectrum Centre.
