ABOUT MY CLASSES
Barre
Moving in Small Spaces barre is an empowering, full-body, mat-based practice where the worlds of dance, Pilates, and barre come together. Class is a whole body workout incorporating the use of one's body weight focusing on alignment, flexibility, core powerhouse muscles, dance based leg, foot and glute conditioning, back, shoulder and arm strength.
Throughout class, we direct our attention to breathing, learning to synchronize the breath with physical movement. This training eliminates muscle strength imbalances, improves flexibility and endurance, core-stabilization, and energy flow. Kate’s years of dance training are ever-present in her natural teaching style. She generously shares all of her knowledge from dance, Pilates and barre with an encouraging, empathetic, and can-do attitude. These classes are open to all levels and paired with funky electronic beats. Come just as you are... no prior dance experience necessary! Yoga mat or towels x2 needed.
Pilates
Pilates is a form of low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility.
You can do Pilates with or without equipment. Kate's classes we simply use our body.
You can expect the moves to be slow, precise with a strong focus on breath control. Pilates targets your core (whole trunk, abdominals, hips, inner & outer thighs, back) but is not restricted to specific body parts.
Kate incorporates legs, glutes and arms - expect a whole body workout!
Contemporary Dance
We begin class with an awareness of the self, the body, and the surrounding space.
Stretching, strengthening, spinal awareness, footwork, plies and improvisation are incorporated into the warm-up.
The class progresses with the use of release techniques, fast dynamic changes of directions, and dropping into and out of floor and jumping sequences. Kate encourages everyone to explore their own unique ways of moving, to be clear about where the movement begins, and to practice their own rhythm and fluidity. Kate’s teaching is shaped by classical dance training, and by Pilates, integrating anatomy, alignment, balance, spatial awareness, motor control, coordination, strength, and flexibility. More complex dance choreographies are taught towards the end of class. Kate’s classes are challenging but aim for the dancer to find their edge and to leave the class feeling as though they have expressed themselves and progressed. They can cater to varying levels, abilities, and mindsets, and self-directed research, exploration, problem solving, and self-motivation are encouraged.
Mums and Babies Pilates
If you’re a mother returning to excercise and possibly feeling nervous, this class is for you. Kate’s mums and babies pilates class is friendly, supportive and about regaining strength and confidence in your body while connecting with other mothers. Class is a whole-body, low-impact workout with a focus on pelvic floor and core muscles, catering to mothers at all post natal stages returning to exercise. We do not use your baby as a weight or prop in class. Rather, you have your child on the floor with you in a safe enclosed area.
My goal in offering mother-baby classes is to bring mothers together who may feel isolated and scared to come back to excercise and cannot align the time with a sitter.
