Yes, men can do Pilates too!

Pilates is the ideal exercise for men in that it reduces stress, increases flexibility and can enhance performance in other sports.

What is a Ballet + Pilates class anyway?

Most of the class were surprised it was such a workout, since many of them remember ballet as floating around the house as a little girl!

Outdoor Pilates - who is in?

The wind might occasionally whip your mat out of place, but an idyllic outdoor setting makes those roll-ups and hundreds so much easier to get through!

 

New 8-week term at Exhale starts this week

If you’d like to join in this Pilates term – our last one before the summer break – confirm your place now!  The Saturday 11 am class is fully booked, but a space or two remain in the others. Well go for 8 weeks, €125. We will have classes on the Saturdays of the May and June bank holiday weekends. (For those of you away, you are welcome to join in another class during the week.) This term runs May 1 to June 23.

 

Pocket Pilates App now in iTunes store!

 

After much planning, editing and talking into a microphone, I’m thrilled to say the Pocket Pilates App is now on the iTunes App store!

Pocket Pilates App is designed for those of you who have some experience doing Pilates. (If you’ve never done a roll-up before, you might find the exercises go a bit fast!) I hope it will be a great top-up in between your classes. Inspired by clients who frequently ask, “What can I do myself at home?” the app is composed of text and audio sequences you can do in about 10 minutes wherever you are – at home, at work, on holiday or while travelling .

If you have an Apple device I hope you’ll download and enjoy. (We’re working on the Android version now!) And please spread the word. Right now the number of downloads are evenly split between Apple-users in the US and Ireland, so the race for downloads is on!

Counting down to the new Wednesday lunchtime class….

Looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow at The Factory… A particular thank you to all of my Google clients as well as Danielle at the Physio Company for helping me spread the word!

Bring your mats or towels, wear something comfy and see you in Studio 4 for an hour’s worth of stretching, strengthening, and fun!

The Factory

New Wednesday lunchtime class at The Factory

Hooray! D4 Pilates is adding a new, hip location to our roster of studios with a lunchtime class at The Factory  starting Wednesday, March 7!

We are happy to join the very creative bunch of actors, filmmakers and fencers (yes, the sword-wielding kind) with the first Pilates class in the building. Join us from 12.30 to 1.30 on Wednesdays, upstairs in Studio 4. We’re aiming for a good workout in a fun atmosphere.

The building is just down from the Grand Canal Dock DART station and across the street from Google’s HQ. Handy for those of you working in the area.

The class is open level, so everyone’s welcome. Once we get going we’ll add balls, bands and other fun things. This session will run for 6 weeks, €95. Tell your pals and join in!

App on its way, along with new classes and a spring Pilates retreat!

 

Things have been busy here, with classes in full swing and others being added at a new location in March. Stay tuned; those details are coming soon.

The Pocket Pilates App is also nearing completion, and if you’d like a preview, check out the video. I am THRILLED to be sharing this preview with all of you first before it hits the Apple Store.

Finally, D4 Pilates happily announces we will be holding our first official Pilates retreat the weekend of April 20-22 at a glorious spa in Co. Meath. Details will follow in the next few days. I have places for 6 people to join in a weekend of relaxation and rejuvenation, along with plenty of Pilates workouts.
