Event Description

The class will begin with a warm-up, followed by progressively advanced abdominal exercises in standing, kneeling, and lying positions. In Pilates, we emphasize engaging the transverse abdominis (deep abdominal muscles), which are key postural muscles shown by research to help reduce and prevent back pain. In this class, while continuing to activate the transverse abdominis, we will also target the oblique abdominals and side flexors for overall toning.

One routine will use wall support, so please keep this in mind when setting up for the class.


This event is free for all to attend and is raising funds for Helen's topless swim, supporting breast cancer care at North Devon District Hospital. If you are able, please consider donating to the fundraiser here: https://rdhc.enthuse.com/pf/helen-tudge

Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.
