Here is how I can help achieve your goals
1:1 Matwork Classes
These are private lessons offered in the comfort of your home or in the local studio based in Northwood. In order for me to make an informed assessment, 1:1 session is recommended to those new to Pilates and is essential for those recovering from injury or with a pre existing condition prior to joining group matwork classes.
This allows me to understand your goals and devise a suitable lesson plan. It is also an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of Pilates, which will aid you once you join group classes.
Group Matwork Classes
I run small and friendly group classes in a safe and nurturing environment to ensure individual feedback and correction. Exercises are tailored to your ability and needs with a progressively challenging lesson plan in place.
Feel comfortable practicing Pilates with other members who have similar goals but achieve them at your own pace. Props and small equipment regularly used to add resistance to your workout and make the classes dynamic.
Online Sessions
Creative and innovative sessions held via Zoom in order to adapt to the changing environment brought about by COVID – 19 .
Join in from the comfort of your home without having to spend time travelling to the studio and find parking space.
Class size is still small so as to ensure individual attention can be maintained.
In the absence of studio equipment, several household items like tins, cushion, chair, kitchen roll incorporated into the routine to make it challenging.
Here is what my clients say
Following an injury, it was recommended that I do Pilates as part of my recovery plan. I had several one to one online classes with Shivani. I was super impressed as how Shivani was able to observe and correct via zoom. I have more awareness of my posture and everything was well explained. Every class was different and yet targeted. I have now joined the weekly group classes and am enjoying them. I have also had good feedback from my Osteopath on my injury. I would highly recommend Shivani.
Nina ShahI have recently joined Shivani’s Pilates classes and loving them! Her instructions are very clear and she varies the classes each week so they are fun as well as a bit challenging! Even though I have an existing knee condition and cannot do all the exercises, Shivani accommodates this and gives me some alternative exercises when needed. Since the classes, I have noticed an improvement in my knee, hip and general mobility. If you have any injuries/aches or pains or just stiff shoulders and necks from too many hours in front of a computer on zoom meetings, I suggest trying Shivani’s classes as they have helped me enormously – not just my knee but my whole posture. Thank you, Shivani!
