Question 1

What is TRE blended with Pilates?

Accepted Answer

TRE is a series of 7 exercises developed by David Bercelli who recognised that the effect of traumatic experience on a person would induce tremors. These exercises open the body to these neurogenic tremors in order to help us release built up tension in the mind and body. TRE sessions allow us to 'shake off' our day or our week and with practice TRE allows our system to be in a more regulated state on the whole.

Question 2

But isn't Pilates too Strenuous?

Accepted Answer

The fundamentals of Pilates exercises are based in safe and sound movement patterns. It's these patterns that we will be looking at. The exercises we will be applying are specific to your needs and are very gentle, soothing and easy to practice.

Question 3

What is TRE good for?

Accepted Answer

Many health conditions have stress related factors. Long term stress can trigger a range of physical and mental health problems, including depression, digestive issues, heart disease, anxiety, headaches, and skin conditions. Reducing stress by balancing the nervous system allows the breathing space our bodies need to heal themselves.
