38m
Welcome to the fourth and final class in our 'Standing Pilates' masterclass series with Birthe Brosolat, filmed from her Studio in Copenhagen!
This class is focused on building strength and endurance and looks at how adding weight and resistance can help increase awareness and feedback within the body.
For this class, you will need two toning (weighted) balls - these weigh 0.5kg each - and a long resistance band (ideally 3 metres).

Birthe Brosolat has been teaching movement for more than 35 years. Working as a full-time freelance movement educator and based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Birthe qualified with Body Control Pilates in 2008 and has since become a Matwork Master Teacher and Studio Master Teacher. She is also a member of the Body Control Tutor Team in Scandinavia. Birthe is also certified as a Franklin Method Movement Educator.
Birthe finds the body and the mind endlessly fascinating. She thrives in learning new insights and getting ‘nerdy’ about how the body and the mind work and how they communicate with each other to create good and efficient movement. She believes that movement should be fun and make you feel good - and that is what she likes to bring across in her teaching.
Birthe focuses on creating awareness of how we move and, if necessary, creating a change in our movement patterns to make movement more enjoyable, allowing us to maintain a healthy body and mind. Exploring the tools to bring about awareness and create change is the driver of combining her knowledge of Pilates and The Franklin Method with other disciplines, such as fascia-related training, Feldenkrais and neurodynamics.
