Belinda and Claire have recently finished filming a Pilates package available on-line as a CPD tool to all Osteopaths.

In addition a DVD of all the Pilates exercises, their alternatives, progressions and teaching skills will be launched late in 2007. This will provide a useful learning tool for those studying the Matwork qualifications.

Already available in the members area, another new DVD, workbook and dynaband package have recently been launched. This is available to all. A special deal will be offered to students wishing to sell to their class participants or one to one clients as an additional weekly workout.

Belinda and Claire have been both friends and colleagues for many years. Their approach to teaching is to make it both enjoyable and fun whilst adopting a user friendly approach to some of the more difficult aspects of exercise science. They both bring unique skills to the teaching of Pilates from the Osteopathy and NLP world as well as years of practical experience.
