Sixth Form swap desks for Pilates mats....

For one afternoon only, on November14th the Sixth Form common room was transformed into a Pilates studio. Under the expert guidance of local Pilates teacher, Nicola Howarth, the whole Sixth Form were taught the rudiments of this popular and enormously beneficial body-conditioning routine. Unlike more conventional keep-fit practices, Pilates works on your concentration, control and ability to 'centre' to enable you to gain core strength in key areas of your body.
None of the students had encountered Pilates before but each found the session interesting,helpful and leaving them eager to find out more about it.
