Please note although these Pilates courses are based at Coolings The Gardener’s Garden Centre, the facility is independently run by Pilates in Sevenoaks.
Pilates in Sevenoaks owns and runs The Studio at Coolings Nurseries Education Centre. This delightful ground floor facility is light, airy and accessible to all. The founder of the business is Helen Whitaker, also the principal certified Pilates teacher. She is well-known and respected in and around the area.
The Studio has three areas, the main studio (Studio 1) is for group classes, on the mat and studio reformers. Studio 2 is for individual Pilates Tuition and Duos, where you are able to work exclusively, or with a friend, on the full range of studio apparatus, under the watchful guidance of a certified Pilates instructor. The Pod, across the pathway from Studio 1, is a private cabin, fully equipped as a mirrored studio, with a reformer plus tower, a combo chair and a Pilates arc (mini-barrel) plus all props needed to ensure you are stretched, strengthened and supported as you train. Private sessions are a good way to start if you have never done Pilates or are not confident to join a class. Once you have mastered the basics, and become more familiar with the terminology, you may want to join a class. If you would like to know more about the benefits of Pilates, read About Pilates.
We offer a range of traditional Pilates mat and online classes, for all levels, accommodating a maximum of eight pupils per mat class. Spaces are pre-booked using our online booking system. All apparatus and mats are provided, so you need bring nothing with you, other than a pair of socks (shoes at the door on entry). Our mat classes are delivered at Christ Church Hall, Charterhouse Road, on the Orpington/Chelsfield border, just 10 minutes from The Studio. The hall is spacious, light, cross-ventilated, clean and has easy parking.
In The Studio, we offer group classes on the Pilates reformer. These wonderful aids to movement, balance and strength were designed by Joseph Pilates, many years ago and most of the classical exercises that we teach are true to his originals. This apparatus helps to balance your body, stretches tight tendons, strengthens your muscles and realigns your spine to engage you fully and happily for a whole hour, as frequently as you wish.
We offer all of our timetabled classes as single sessions, so you can try first to see if you like us and get along with the method and/or the apparatus. However, if you purchase class credits in blocks, or take up a monthly membership, you will find the prices to be to your advantage.
There are many pricing options and a full timetable to choose from and we’d love to welcome you to The Studio.
