The new September term starts on Monday 7th September, and is 7 weeks long taking us up to 23rd October (Brrrrr!!)
Rebecca has not been resting on her laurels – She has been very privileged to have done two trips up to London to train with Elite Pilates Instructors; Alvin Quek of the Pilates Clinic, Chalk Farm, including training with Amanda Brooks, who was taught by sisters Amy Taylor Alpers and Rachel Taylor Segal, who themselves were certified by Romana Kryzanowska who was one of Joe Pilates first students and is still teaching today in her 80’s! The sisters own the famous Pilates Center in Boulder , Colorado and it is known to be the world’s foremost and rigorous teacher training school for Pilate’s instructors, keeping to the original and traditional Pilates method.
We are sure you will enjoy the benefits – Don’t forget, Pilates is Intelligent conditioning using Mind and Body.
We look forward to seeing you this term

New sign writing by "d-signstudio of Neyland"

A big thankyou to all who generously sponsored us for the British Heart Foundation bike ride - £835 raised for this good cause. It was a lovely ride arround a beautiful part of Wales, and we would recommend it to any one who can balance on a bike for a few hours - As they said at the start "This is not a race!" We certainly proved them right with a "Blistering" time of 4hours to cover 29miles.
The present term finishes tomoorrow, but there is still room on some of the Summer Maintenance Classes - Get your name in quick! The September Term starts 7th September as per our "Details Page".
Hot news! Tim has been accepted to train as a Level 3 Pilates Matt Work Instructor, starting in October 2009 in London, which will free Rebecca up for more training and provide sickness cover. This will ensure Pembrokeshire Pilates keeps up to date and continues to bring new moves to the classes, and lessens the chances of cancelled classes.
Have a great Summer

The last week of this term - Hope you have all enjoyed it, and are enjoying the benefits that Pilates can bring when done with good form. I wonder how many of you are feeling improvements? Please let us know through the "Testimonials" page. We can see you are performing the moves with more ease - Don't let it just get easier, try for better form and you will progress to your next level - Straighten those legs / Point those toes / Lift your shoulders and head / Listen well to the instruction and apply your breathing correctly. Good form is Every thing!
Ladies (Sorry men), why not try the new Fit Flops from "Sweaty Betty" with which you give your legs a work out while you walk - And look cool into the bargain - Free postage for limited time.

What about some new Pilates clothing for the summer? Check out our updated links page where we have placed some links to what we think are great sites to find what you fancy.
Well thats all for now - Keep up the good work and see you all next term - Starts 1st June - Details on "Details" page.

Well done to all of you this term!
You will have noticed that some of the classes have included more traditional matwork at a more rythmic pace and less breaks. This is achievable when the moves are learned correctly and full concentration and strength can be applied. Please note that all of the exercises can still be adapted to suit the individuals needs.
The new term will begin Monday 23rd February and run for 6 weeks.

We are very pleased with the reactions of our studio customers, and to further improve the experience, we have just completed improving the parking facilities, so there is no excuse now - You must park on the drive!
Please also drive at slow speed in Guilderoy Rd. and Cricket Grove as there are small children about.

The two Tuesday evening classes at Pembroke Town Hall will be merged to a new time slot of 5.50pm to 6.30pm which makes way for a brand new "Absolute Beginners" class from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, starting 6th Jan 2009.
These students will not need to attend a one to one at the studio as all will be "revealed" at the classes. Health Questionaires will still be required.

We are very pleased to say that we have finally relocated the home studio to our home in Hundleton, after many early mornings and late nights. We are delighted with the transformation created for us by AA Construction, and feel very lucky indeed. We hope you will have the chance to visit and enjoy the increased head room, floor space and reception, and to try some of the Pilates equipment that is not available anywhere else in West Wales. We have vacated South Pembs Golf Club. Many thanks to the Golf Club for allowing our extended occupancy!

As is the way with most building work, the Studio upgrade is taking a while longer than anticipated, but we are sure it will be worth the wait and all the hard work that has gone into it.
This is the second time we have used Andrew Cole and his company, AA Construction, and are once again enjoying his work and his company - But it's time to go now Andrew!!
We now think work should be complete in next two weeks.

23/4/2008
Our Studio in Hundleton is going to be improved. The ceiling has always been a little bit low, so that will be raised and velux windows installed, to give more room for stretching and a lighter more spacious feeling to enhance the customer experience.
We will also be adding a new reception facility which we hope you will like and find usefull. This will also increase the floor area in the studio devoted to pilates machines and matwork floor exercise.
While improvement works are underway, from 26th April to 18th July the studio will be relocated to South Pembrokeshire Golf Club - Please see our Directions page.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park staff enjoyed a "Back Care Day", where Rebecca and Andrea showed over 90 employees, in groups of 12, how to take good care of their backs in day to day activities. The day was well received by all and this kind of service to industry could soon become a part of Pembrokeshire Pilates - A win win solution for both employers and employees.

The West Wales Regional Topper Racing Squad, were taught about the benefits of "warm up" stretching before sailing, and how good core strength can help give the sailor the competitive "edge" in racing. Special thanks to Richard Twining - Regional Development Officer, pictured below with Rebecca and the sailing squad.

Rebecca has recently completed teaching Pilates to the Girl Guides of Pembroke Dock. This comprised twelve weeks of one hour mat work sessions, and went towards the girls Duke of Edinburgh's Bronze Awards.

The Guides worked very hard to achieve their certificates and Pembrokesire Pilates recognised this when completing the Bronze Award reports.

Geraldine Butland the Guide leader should also be recognised for all her hard work and commitment.
