Nicky Dean
‘Nicky has been teaching Health & Fitness classes in and around the East Grinstead area for the past ten years. In recent years her attention has been focused on the unique Pilates method of exercise developed by legendary trainer Joseph H. Pilates. Nicky’s Pilates classes introduce the fundamentals and principles of the classical Pilates Method of exercise that focuses on building a healthy, injury free body by encouraging controlled & concentrated movements. Students will learn to be aware of breathing patterns and spinal alignment while engaging the deep muscles of the core.
The method focuses on using the body as a whole, not dividing it into separate parts. It improves strength, flexibility, balance, control and muscular symmetry. The series of rhythmic exercises promote elongated and toned muscle and dynamically strengthens your core and postural muscles.
The class is perfect for those students who are new to Pilates, or for those looking to ‘’brush up on the basics’’. It is also appropriate for individuals who are recovering from mild injuries and are looking for a safe way to work out.
Nicky holds a BA (Hons) Degree in Human Movement Studies from University of Wales Institute, Cardiff and is a certified Level 3 Diploma in Pilates Matwork Instructor and a fully qualified Pilates Personal Trainer. At Yoga Akasha, Nicky’s Pilates classes are structured to cater for all abilities in a friendly and informative environment.
