about LPH

Liverpool Pilates Hub (LPH) is your go-to destination for a diverse array of fitness classes, where the Pilates method is the foundation of every session. Each class is expertly led by Sophie, who prioritizes good technique and biomechanics to ensure safe and effective workouts for all clients.

 

Pilates is a form of exercise traditionally performed on a mat or with specialist Pilates equipment, yet Joseph Pilates, the method’s creator, intended Pilates to be at the core of all movement styles - sport, dance, running, weight lifting, circuit training, and even housework - to enhance and support other ways of moving our bodies. LPH does offer traditional mat-based Pilates classes, but we’re also proud of our other Pilates fusion workouts embracing the philosophy of Joseph Pilates.

The physical and mental health of our clients is paramount. At LPH we recognise that a focus on body image can have a negative impact on our mental health and wellbeing. Instead we put an emphasis on the numbers going up rather than down, encouraging clients to celebrate progress in endurance, strength, and performance rather than just weight loss. This mindset fosters a positive and empowering wellness experience.

 

LPH welcomes everyone, from fitness novices to experienced athletes looking for 'the edge', with flexible training options at your local community based studio, via Zoom, or through the comprehensive virtual platform Virtual Pilates Hub.

Mat Pilates | It's all about the journey!

This mat Pilates class is all about transitions. Pilates is not about making pretty shapes, it's about the movement that takes place between them! When you learn to control and flow though your transitions you will feel a deeper connection to your body and develop a greater sense of strength and control. I want you to feel like you're dancing through your matwork. Enjoy the journey! Want to complete the full length class?

Fascia | The connective tissue that holds us together

Fascia | The connective tissue that holds us together

I first learnt about fascia from a book called Anatomy Trains by Thomas Myers and it changed my approach to how I look at the body and movement. Fascia is a 3D connective tissue that is the glue that holds us together. Our organs, bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons and all held within this spider web of tissue. Today I’m going to talk to you about 5 lines of fascia, the Deep Front Line, the Superficial Back Line, the Lateral Line, the Arm Line and the Spiral Line and how learning about these lines can help you with injury rehab and prevention. If you are a Virtual Pilates Hub Member you can then join me to go on to a deep fascia release session. Want to complete the full length class?
