Saturday Night Fever!

The wonders of snow... The remarkable and beautiful white stuff brought much disruption to our classes with many people not being able to get out of the drive let alone attend their Pilates lesson. For those that did brave it and made it in we practice walking in the snow within the comforts and warmth of the studio. How? By imagining to walk like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever!! He has a bounce in his step allowing the major joints of ankles knees and hips to remain soft and reactive whilst walking on something as unstable and unpredictable as snow and ice.
