What is Peto Pilates?
ABOUT OUR PETO PILATES CLASSES
We are so proud to support a wider community and today let us tell you more about our Peto Pilates classes.
Our Rehabilitation approached Peto Pilates sessions are to help improve your strength, movement, balance and overall wellbeing when you live with some long term medical condition that is affecting your movements.

We specialised these classes for 4 groups.
People who live with:

These classes are absolutely amazing! The results can be such as growing confidence, improvement in motivation, improvements in balance, coordination, better posture, as well as awareness in alignment. Learning ways to overcome physical difficulties. Finding ways to stay more independent.
Some of our classes are still online but we have individual sessions and small group classes in the studio.
We are here to support you in a non-judgemental non-competitive way, with expertise and care.

WHY about neurological conditions/ movement disorders?
A personal insight why Noemi - the founder of Beyond Move is so passionate about helping and working with people with movement disorders, living with long life conditions.
WHY about neurological conditions/ movement disorders?
Alert! This might be long!
I was about 9 or 10 in this picture, and you perhaps can see that my grandad’s facial expression is a little motionless. That is because he had Parkinson’s disease (secondary Parkinsonism) at that time. He deteriorated quickly, but I didn’t see him that way.
As a child I was a daydreamer... and I pretended to be his teacher 💙 because everyone felt clueless. No one knew what to do and how to help him. He was trapped in his body.
And oh god, he did everything for me! I mean whatever I asked him; he gave it a go. Climbing up on a bicycle - and I timed him and recorded his progress too 😆 We went swimming, exercised by walking up & down on stairs 💕 at a later stage I gave him his medication and also helped feeding him.
I was a kind ‘teacher’, I massaged his back after exercise and we also over listened to some kind of Russian healer/meditation tape - parallel translated to Hungarian and 99% we ended up with a nap 💤
You must feel from this that I felt so special, so so special & empowered!
And of course this memory stayed with me. I felt like a Whisperer - you know who understands wild horses and guides them 💕
Life guided me to study at the international Peto Institute (instead of studying psychology). This training and practice helped me to gain knowledge and understanding of movement disorders and how to help people living with these conditions to keep moving, stay motivated, active and independent!
So this was the first why and the initiation to start Beyond Move. We want to make accessible and great classes for all, including people with physical disabilities.
We want people to feel confident, move well and stay independent!
With Love,
Noemi x

About Gut Health - Immune system Boost
Gut Health
How to boost your immune system
Before the coronavirus pandemic, like most of us, you probably only ever thought about your immune system when the winter cold season hit. But with experts telling us how crucial a healthy immune system is in our fight against covid-19, immunity is a really hot topic. You might have heard that our gut and our immune system are inextricably linked. But the truth is that, for the most part, the two are not only linked but actually the same.
Therefore, more and more evidence shows that looking after our gut is a great way to achieve and experience wellbeing. The microbiome, which is made up of bacteria & other microorganisms in the stomach and intestines (or informally the gut) is now understood to be responsible for more than just our digestive system. Everyone’s microbiome is unique, but there are a few generalities about what is healthy or not, and in healthy people, there tends to be a diverse array of organisms.
Here at Beyond Move, we are really interested in gut health and as we teach Peto Pilates for people affected with Parkinson’s disease, in the recent emerging research. Researchers have for the first time discovered a biological link between the gut microbiome and this research reveals its more likely for Parkinson’s disease origins to have come from the gut and not only from the brain as previously believed. Often long before tremors may be reported to GP’s other complaints linked to the digestive system have been mentioned regularly and in many cases, years before the tremors have started.
Generally speaking, good gut health benefits everyone and paying attention to what we eat and drink and the effects this has on our own microbiome seems ever more important especially so now with the global pandemic. We are all about our community and sharing information. We have pulled together some general tips for good gut health here and some web links for you to find out further information.
Exercise. This aids general health helps towards maintaining a healthy weight and in some cases, also helps manage stress levels.
Eat healthily. Yes, it’s ok to have a treat but balancing fibre, fresh vegetables, sources of protein and fruit help to get vital vitamins and nutrients. Additionally, eating fermented foods such as sauerkraut or kimchi regularly promotes the production of friendly bacteria in the gut.
Drink. It’s no news that most of us do not drink enough water, and when coming to class, we encourage you to bring water. Other sources that will help you maintain a healthy gut are to drink Kombucha a fizzy fermented tea drink or Kefir (milk or vegan water-based) which we stock in the studio.
