Karen Brown Pilates, located in Stroud, is a Pilates studio offering a comprehensive programme of exercises for mat work. The studio follows the Body Control Pilates Method, which is not only remarkably effective but also medically-approved.
At Karen Brown Pilates, the focus is on building a strong foundation and good movement skills in order to work safely and effectively. The classical Pilates exercises developed by Joseph Pilates are broken down and adapted to ensure that each individual can progress towards more advanced work. With a holistic approach, the studio emphasises the awareness of one's own body and incorporates eight basic principles into every exercise: relaxation, alignment, concentration, breathing, coordination, stamina, centring, and flowing movements.
By targeting the deep architectural structure of the body, core stability is achieved and maintained through increasingly complex movement sequences. Specific problem-areas can be addressed, while considering the body as a whole. Karen Brown Pilates aims to enhance body awareness by combining the mind and body, teaching individuals to be in control of their bodies and helping them handle stress more effectively and achieve relaxation more easily.
One of the unique aspects of Body Control Pilates is that it is suitable for individuals of all fitness levels. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, the method can work for you.
