Ghillan Kenton Pilates Teacher and Restorative Exercise Specialist is a Pilates studio located in Haywards Heath, New Zealand. The studio is owned and operated by Ghillan, a Certified Restorative Exercise Specialist and a qualified Pilates matwork teacher with The Pilates Foundation. Ghillan is passionate about natural movement and believes in the importance of preserving functional movement for maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle as we age.
At Ghillan Kenton Pilates Teacher and Restorative Exercise Specialist, the classes offered aim to improve the way participants sit, stand, and move. By focusing on proper movement techniques, these classes can have a positive effect on bone density and reduce wear and tear on joints and ligaments. Additionally, the classes help develop movement skills that individuals may not even know they are missing, enabling them to build strength and increase flexibility safely. Participating in these classes can leave individuals feeling good, with increased energy levels and improved circulation.
Ghillan is particularly interested in the impact of modern life on movement patterns and the adaptations our bodies make in response to new behaviours. With the rapid pace of technology, many labour-saving devices have reduced our necessity for natural movement, leading to increased inactivity and, in turn, illness and injury. Additionally, the prevalence of chairs and screens keeps individuals in fixed and repetitive positions for extended periods, resulting in stiffness and immobility.
The studio's approach is centred around the belief that exercise alone is not the answer. Instead, moving more, and moving more of the body, is key to maintaining overall health and wellness. By focusing on restoring natural movement patterns and incorporating a variety of movements, individuals can improve their overall function and mobility.
Located in Haywards Heath, Ghillan Kenton Pilates Teacher and Restorative Exercise Specialist also offers classes in nearby areas such as Cuckfield and Lindfield. The studio provides a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals of all fitness levels and backgrounds.
