Longer Workout: BEGINNER Seated Class - Upper Body Focus with Brenda
Public Classes (for every level)
•
23m
Join Brenda for a gentle, balanced class carried out entirely in a seated position. This workout is suitable for every body, but is designed especially for older clients, those suffering from chronic fatigue, or those looking for a low impact exercise session.
You will need a set of hand weights for this class (ideally between 0.5kg-2kg, depending on your preference) - if you don't have access to weights, tins of food work well as alternatives!

Brenda trained as a dancer at London Contemporary Dance School and has performed as both a contemporary and hip hop dancer professionally. She was introduced to Pilates at Dance College and it helped her throughout her dance career to recover from injuries including an achilles tendon rupture. It also helped to prepare and repair her body during both of her pregnancies.
Brenda completed her Pilates teacher training with Body Control Pilates in 2017 and her thirst for knowledge of the body and movement continues to inform her teaching and benefits her clients with what she continues to bring into the studio.
