Body Resilience
Are you a woman between the ages of 45 and 65 and are keen to exercise for your health, but find it difficult to progress without injury? Do you have pelvic symptoms such as prolapse or bladder leakage and want to exercise safely? Do you want to protect bone density and improve tendon health for later life? Do you generally want to feel better and move better? If one or more of these are true for you, this is a class for you!
As women move into peri- and post-menopause, bone density and tendon health can take a hit. We can be more prone to injury and it can be much harder to maintain strength and bone density. Abdominal weight can be difficult to lose. Prolapse and bladder symptoms are more common. This class is designed with all of this in mind. We aim to build body resilience and get you feeling better in your body.
This is a circuit style class, incorporating resistance training, impact exercise, and aerobic exercise, as well as using the Reformer Pilates machines. This class is run by a women’s health physiotherapist and exercises can be modified for injury. This class offers everything that is required to live well and move well; to build body resilience and have you feeling great!

Yoga Therapy
Yoga Therapy will help you to move the way you were designed to move. Pain and tension is your body’s way of getting your attention and letting you know that dysfunction is present. Therapeutic Yoga uses traditional principles of yoga along with a modern understanding of anatomy, physiology and bio mechanics to relieve stress and promote recovery of injury and illness.
One one one yoga therapy consultations are carried out by Amie Taylor. Amie will help you to uncover the unconscious patterns that lead to pain and tension and design a personalized program to help you integrate these new patterns into your life and activities.
At Alchemy in Motion we offer mat Pilates classes. Pilates is a gentle, low impact form of exercise which is aimed at improving your Deep Motion SystemsTM (including your pelvic floor and core) and whole body strength. Our classes have a strong emphasis on breathing, pelvic floor and core control and are effective in managing back and pelvic pain and toning abdominal muscles.
