Q&A
WITH NATALIE DICKSON
Q: How did Organic Pilates come
to be?
A: After years of training, professional
and personal development, working within
a Physiotherapy Clinic, fitness centres and
creating specialised sessions for athletes, opening
Organic Pilates studio was a natural progression.
I wanted to create a beautiful space that could
transform peoples’ lives. A place that inspired
and empowered people to live healthy, happy and
balanced lives. To encourage people to accept
themselves and their bodies. To educate people
that they have the power to change and heal
their own body, to listen and honour their body
in such a way that they not only correct existing
imbalances but also avoid any occurring in the
future.
I wanted people to experience the mind-body
connection that pilates offers and to have more
awareness about their body, their movements,
their patterns and habits. I want to encourage
them to make conscientious, accountable
decisions in everyday life that will result in
physical changes in the body, mental changes in
the mind and positive changes in daily life.
Q: Can you tell us a bit about
the reformer pilates you offer in
studio?
A: In addition to the general benefits of pilates,
pilates on the reformer adds a new dimension
to your workout. This resistance-based training
allows you to challenge stability, tone and
lengthen muscles and build core strength.
With thousands of exercise variations, every
pilates class can be different, ensuring you are
increasingly challenged and never bored! While
it’s certainly not an easy workout, pilates is
low-impact resistance training, keeping your
knees and joints free of strain and pain, while
maintaining bone density.
