Dinah has been teaching Pilates to women in the menopausal transition for over 23 years, this combined with her own experience of menopause and passion for sharing menopause education has resulted in this unique one-day course.
Dinah's Three Take Home Tips:
- Try to view the menopause as an opportunity to learn Pilates, it will also benefit your long term health and fitness.
- If possible, start learning Pilates with a 1:1 session or shared private lesson for a bespoke approach, before joining a class.
- And finally - give it time. It can seem like learning a new language and that doesn't happen overnight, so have patience!
