Hypnobirthing and Pilates 3hr workshop on scheduled sundays held in Clapham/Wandsworth area.
£45/per person. Partners are welcome to join us.
Venue: TBC, contact Rosa for details.
Time: 10am – 1pm.
Free Hypnobirthing cd – My beautiful birth – to listen to daily to help you
with a pain free birthing experience.
The hypnobirthing session with Dr Deborah Kerslake and a Relaxation stretching
Pilates session with Rosa, to get you in the best state to be able to fully benefit and
be receptive to the hypnosis session and course you will experience. You will walk
away feeling calm, relaxed yet excited about your birth. This course and CD will help
you feel calm and in control, help eliminate any fear of birth and your birth will be
hopefully calmer, you will be able to breath through any pain and cope better during
your birth.
Hypnosis for assisting with birthing is a powerful tool. It remind and reinforces the
mind to remain in a relaxed state where the mind can release pain and tension.
Imagine being able to enjoy a peaceful birth, feeling refreshed and in control. The
free CD that will be given to you on the course can be used to continue the training
and teach your body to deepen trance and to relax when needed. You can listen to a
CD during your childbirth to continue to guide you to a deeply relaxed and pain free
state. The
This session and the C.D. will teach your body to go into hypnosis quickly and easily.
It encourages you to find the wisdom of your body that knows how to have a
peaceful birth.
Hypnosis, gives you all the tools and techniques to feel comfortable, in control,
empowered and relaxed as you work with your body in childbirth.
Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration - a state of mind and
body in which we communicate suggestions to our subconscious mind. This part of
our mind influences what we think, how we feel and the choices we make. It can
actually control pain.
Almost anyone who chooses to can reach deep relaxation and redirected focus.
When having your baby with Hypnosis, what you will experience is similar to the
daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or staring at
a fire. You will be conversant and in good spirits, totally relaxed, but fully in control.
You will be aware of your body's contractions but will be able to determine the extent
to which you feel the surge. You will experience your birth in an atmosphere of calm
relaxation, without fear and tension that cause pain. Your body's natural anaesthesia
(endorphins) will replace the stress hormones that create pain.
In primitive cultures many women still have relatively pain free births, one of the
explanations for that is that they remain relaxed and view the process as natural and
wonderful (the whole tribe is with them and excited for them. They are the centre of
the universe for a while, the main event, the most important person) and this reenforces
the positive and joyful aspects of bringing a new life into your world

The Benefits of Pilates for Radiographers - Pilates in Clapham
Having been a Radiographer for twelve years I have a good idea of the stresses and strains we are under at times emotionally, physically and mentally. The purpose of this article is to bring to your awareness how you feel in your body and mind and how Pilates can help you in the workplace as well as help you look and feel more confident and good in yourself.
We are sometimes dealing with over booked lists, work loads, on call shifts where we are needed in five different areas at once and there is only one of us! We tend to deal with these situations very well and adapt to the situation because we have to. Even during the day with busy lists and having to juggle lots of different tasks at once. Stress can build up and sometimes we may not realise this is happening as we are so used to the situation we are in. Pilates is a really great exercise to help us de-stress and relax. By taking time out for you, it also makes you feel good too. We are always caring for others and thinking of them, especially if you also have a family to look after too. It is really important to recharge yourself emotionally, mentally and physically and take responsibility for yourself feeling good in your body and mind.
Many of us have suffered from back pain at some point with the positions we may have to get ourselves into doing mammograms, ultrasound or simply helping patients up from the table. It is vital for us to take responsibility of our own health and make sure we take time to look after ourselves to help prevent any back injuries or other injuries that may sometimes happen. By teaching your body what good posture is and developing your body awareness you will be really protecting yourself from risk of injury as well as looking and feeling better. What becomes a conscious effort will soon become a subconscious one and your posture will be better as well as any aches and pains reduced. Our inner core muscles tend to get a little lazy (such as the semi spinalis, multifidus, transverse abdominis….) as the outside superficial muscles get overworked (upper trapezius, quadrates lumborum…). We need to retrain them so that the muscle memory realise that the deeper core muscles should be taking their load also! The outer muscles will be able to switch off and on as they should do rather than being permanently over worked leading to injuries and pain.
Pilates will help you strengthen weak muscles at the same time as lengthening tightened muscles to allow your posture to naturally be held in a position that can be maintained and that is optimum for your body. Many of us like to do Cardio vascular fitness as a stress release and to get the endorphins flowing. By increasing your core stability and aiding correct movement patterns in the body, your performance in which ever sport or fitness activity you choose will be improved and the risk of injuries reduced.
Coming from someone whose concentration has not always been the best! I can vouch for the fact that Pilates will also help you with your concentration and focus as you have to really tune in to your body and the movements you are aiming to achieve. So if you find that your mind often wonders or your motivation is sometimes lacking I highly recommend that you try out your local class and see for yourself the huge benefits that Pilates will give you.
From someone who used to be into intense exercise I am hugely challenged by Pilates in my body and mind and it has helped me recover from an old injury to my back as well as giving me the shape and definition that amazed me. It is quite a pleasant surprise that you can get really great results in your body without having to slog it out in the gym as I used to. Health and Fitness are two different things and Pilates gives you both in a balanced and progressive way. I recommend that you go to a Body Control Pilates Teacher to make sure you get a high standard of teaching. Whilst still working part-time as a Radiographer at The Royal Marsden, I have set my business up running my own Pilates classes in Clapham and Wandsworth and find it really rewarding to help others feel better in their body and mind. Find out the benefits for yourselves and check out your local class. For further information on Pilates and health and fitness please visit www.pilatespluswellness.com for you reference. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me and I can write the answer on my blog for you. I look forwards to hearing from you. Rosa

Corporate Pilates class of the day!
Hi Everyone,
just thought I would tell you all about the great corporate Pilates classs I ran in Victoria today. After leaving my Morning Pilates classes in Balham, I dashed over to run the lunchtime class to help everyone feel energised and more focused for their afternoon ahead.
How can Pilates at Work help you?
Improves your concentration
Focusing on the breathing and movement helps us to de-stress, so great after a stressful or full on morning and to set you up for the afternoon ahead.
Great time saver by being able to exercise during your lunch hour and get a full hour of strengthening exercise and being able to go straight back to work and feel energised and rejuvenated. The winter months are drawing in so our motivation to exercise after a tiring day at work tends to be sometimes lacking.
The ten minutes relaxation phase at the end of the session helps clients with their alertness and hopefully avoiding the lunchtime dip. Hence, more productivity at work.
Moving our bodies and toning and stretching out helps us improve our core stability, reduce back pain and ease tension in the neck and shoulders, which we can sometimes get from poor posture or from sitting at a desk all day.
So if you want lunchtime Pilates classes in Clapham, Pilates in Balham, Pilates in Wandsworth or Pilates in the City/victoria just let me know and I will book a slot for you all. £75/hr discount corporate rate. Whether there is a class of 12 or 2. Let me know if you want to join:)
