Longer Workouts: INTERMEDIATE LEVEL - Waking Up the Body with Bridget Montague
Longer Workouts (20 mins+)
•
35m
This class is designed to wake your body up gently starting with a self massage sequence then directing awareness to the core fulcrums of the body and energizing the spine.
It builds up with short sequences to mobilize the hips and shoulders, challenge coordination and focus on alignment with control.
The focus is on enabling fluid movement throughout.

Bridget Montague has been teaching Pilates since 2001. Her career in movement began at an early age with dance training in her home countries, Ireland and Sweden. This led to Dance College in London at the Rambert School.
While working as a professional dancer she developed a keen interest in injury prevention and the workings of the human body, leading to her studying Anatomy & Physiology and Massage and creating and leading workshops on Relaxation and Awareness.
The next progression was Pilates. Since qualification, Bridget has worked for Body Control Pilates as a senior studio teacher, independently in London and internationally, teaching classes and 1:1 Pilates to private and corporate clients, sports professionals, dancers and Pilates teachers.
A few years ago Bridget enrolled at The University of Westminster on the Therapeutic Bodywork BSc course and studied Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Techniques and the Therapeutic Relationship. This continues to inform her practice as a Pilates teacher and Bodywork Therapist.
