Gemma Pearson Psychology, in conjunction with Magda Pearson Pilates, are offering these unique day courses to individuals who wish to take some time to focus on themselves. Modern life can be a steady stream of one task after another, with little opportunity to think or take time for yourself. This day course will allow you to pause, explore and reflect on your strengths, values and what helps you to feel happy.

We will focus on both the mind and the body, incorporating simple Pilates stretches to support an understanding of how your body stores stress, and how to manage this. Mindfulness and psychologically informed exercises will allow you to have some ‘me’ time to develop your awareness into what is important to you, and start to think about how you may get more of this in your life.

The day is an opportunity for personal reflection, it will not involve personal disclosure to the group. It is also not a therapy group and all exercises are suitable for beginners/ those new to Pilates and mindfulness.
