Pilates Open Level Symeon explains each exercise in detail so you can understand the qualities of movement you need to develop, with an emphasis on being safe. His teaching approach encourages you to learn how to make personal choices for your body and progress or regress according to your needs. Props are used to either challenge or simplify certain exercises. The class covers most of the classical mat Pilates exercises but with a more contemporary approach and variations to train. Suitable for 18+. Check out what participants have said about the class: As a beginner with back pain, I was very worried to start the class. But the professionalism of Symeon, combined with his gentle touch and elegant teaching style has helped me gradually gain confidence. I think Rambert Institute is lucky to have such a good instructor as is Symeon, who can create positive ‘vibes’ in the class making everybody feel energized and happy.
