Kemp Pilates

Kemp Pilates Personalised brain-based movement solutions. [email protected] Body Control Pilates is remarkably effective - and medically-approved.

Recover from injury, reduce pain, improve sports performance, age well, live your best life. 1:1 or small group online or in person. It is of an holistic nature, being based upon a well-constructed philosophical foundation. Central to the Method is 'awareness of your own body' and each and every exercise is built around its eight basic principles:



Relaxation


Concentration



Co-ordination



Centring



Alignment


Breathing



Stamina


Flowing Movements



By working on the deep architectural structure of the body, 'core stability' is achieved, and then maintained, through increasingly complex movement sequences. Specific problem-areas can be targeted by an exercise, but always in relation to the rest of one's body. Your body awareness is heightened by bringing together mind and body - Body Control Pilates literally teaches you to be in control of your body, allowing you to handle stress more effectively and achieve relaxation more easily. The Body Control Pilates Method can work for everyone, regardless of fitness level! Exercises can be mat or machine-based, but matwork exercises have a great attraction in that they need no special equipment, and are particularly safe for those with back problems (and don't forget that 95% of the UK population has, or has had, backache). Booking Terms and Conditions
To guarantee your place in a weekly class I suggest that you prebook and pay half termly in advance. Payment is due by the first day of term. To be fair to all clients I regret that I cannot hold your space if payment is not received by this time. If you are unable to attend a class during this half term I offer the chance for you to take a catch up class subject to availability. At least 12 hours notice must be given. Catch up classes must be taken in the same block. They cannot be carried over to holiday periods or future blocks. It is the sole responsibility of the client to manage their catch-ups within the block. An unused catch-up class has no monetary value. For booked 1:1 sessions I appreciate that occasionally it is unavoidable to cancel a session but would ask that you provide 24 hours notice by text to 07940 231 338. A cancellation fee of 50% of the session cost is payable for sessions which are cancelled within this period.

Whether you’re new to Pilates or want to delve deeper, I’ve got your back. This week will unveil all that is special about this quiet corner of Andalucia, with far reaching cork oak and chestnut forests, where life moves at a slower pace around the plazas of the pretty white villages dotted amongst the tranquil valleys.

You’ll experience the perfect blend of comfort and nature . Enjoy the morning breeze and spectacular views over breakfast on the terrace; fresh fruit, artisan bread and jams made with love by your host Cristina. Your chef for the week, Alec, draws on the gastronomic traditions of the Sierra de Huelva to prepare delicious meals.

We have an exciting itinerary including guided walks through the stunning countryside, visits to the pueblos blancos, a private Flqmenco show, sherry tasting, plus a day to explore Seville, with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the tranquility. This promises to be an authentic and unforgettable week 🇪🇸

Ameena was relatively new to Pilates when she joined me recently in Sicily. So it was great that she went away with a deeper experience of the method but more importantly, in my opinion, with a better awareness of her body and how to get the most out of movement in any situation, not just a Pilates or yoga class, using a truly individual and brain-based approach.

The best part of my job is helping people discover changes in their movement for the better. Shazia was nervous and protecting her back, understandably. The solution was not about prescribing a one-size-fits-all magic exercise, but rather allowing her brain to feel safe through the right sensory information.

If you’d like to explore this in your body please get in touch. I work online and in-person [email protected]

In highlights what can happen when reformer Pilates becomes a trend, with studios popping up across London packing in rows of reformers, prioritising profit over precision.

Reformer Pilates is not new. My advice is to make sure you’re in the hands of an experienced teacher who explains how the reformer works, don’t do anything that doesn’t feel safe, and ultimately smaller is safer.

Thank you for flagging this up. Sorry for bending your ear about my bug bear of quick certification and the lack of regulation in the industry!

Want to improve your strength, balance, mobility and stamina? Whatever your age? Want to work with someone who listens to what you want to achieve, and helps you go beyond that?

This is Helen, she’s 68 and does not let osteoporosis, a history of back pain and fibromyalgia get in the way of her zest for life. When we started working together 4 months ago, everyday household tasks would leave her in pain. Now she can do the, as well as cool things like hanging from my Fuse Ladder, pain free.

Whatever your age or background, contact me if you’d like to discuss how we can work together, in person or online.

It’s never too late.

It’s always nice to receive positive feedback from clients. But this 💕

A diagnosis of MND is life-changing for the person and those around them. Thomas and his wonderful wife Fiona are taking it all in their stride, supported by friends and family. They continuously tackle each hurdle that they come up against with energy and optimism. Despite the progression of MND, I find that each session Thomas gives it his all and we get a good result.

To know that the small part I play is making a difference is priceless. Thank you Thomas and for sharing

Thanks for having me as a guest on your podcast Wendy. Realised I could talk for hours about this stuff that I use every day in my work to help people unlock their full movement potential. Covered the sensory systems that affect our movement, what neuroplasticity is (and isn’t!), how improving your balance is more than practising standing on one leg and how when you listen to your brain you can really take control of your body.

It’s fascinating to discover the role some of our senses have in transforming the way we move.  In the latest episode of the Make Movement Matter podcast, I talk with Amanda Kemp, a pilates teacher with a deep understanding of how 3 of our senses can materially affect our movement patter
