Summer Pilates at goPhysio Chandlers Ford – This summer, we’re trying out a few ‘special’ classes at goPhysio in Chandlers Ford. One of which is the Magic Circle Class.
What’s magic about this circle you may ask? The Magic Circle is a popular piece of Pilates equipment, created by Pilates founder, Joseph Pilates. It’s a ring made of flexible metal and rubber with 2 pads on the outside. The great thing about using the magic circle in Pilates is:
- It provides additional resistance to your muscles during your class, challenging you in a slightly different way and working to increase muscle strength and tone.
- It can be used for leg or arm exercises and adds another dimension to the mat Pilates exercises.
- It provides some feedback about what muscles you are working during the class, it can really help further connect you to your centre whilst you’re exercising.
- It is rumoured that Joseph Pilates was inspired to create the ‘Magic Circle’ by the metal ring of a beer keg!
Magic circle classes are being held on:
- Wednesday 15th August 7pm with Francesca
- Thursday 23rd August 9.30am with Roz
- Tuesday 28th August 6pm with Hugo
