What is Presence?
Presence is a new group pilates class with a spiritual focus to raise funds for Adelaide Youth Conference 2023.
Our name comes from Exodus 33:14 - “The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."”
What is Pilates? Why did you choose that?
Pilates is a form of low-impact exercise that uses controlled movement to improve your posture, flexibility & physical strength. Anyone can do it, no matter their fitness level or exercising experience!
It also has a number of health benefits, including stress management & relaxation, improving flexibility, increasing muscle strength, and improving posture.
Doesn't that sound pretty good? Come and give it a go at our next class!
When are the classes? What time do they start/end?
The classes will be held on the third Thursday of every second months. All classes will begin at 7:45pm and go for approximately 45 minutes.
Do I need to bring anything?
Yes - a Yoga mat!
Other than that, just comfy clothes you can move in, a drink bottle, and some friends.
Who can come to the classes? How old do I have to be?
Anyone aged 14+ can come to the classes (yep, even anyone aged 30+).
Do I have to know how to do Pilates?
Definitely not.
The classes are designed for all experience levels - from absolute beginners to Pilates pros!
How much do classes cost?
Each class is $15 per person.
You can buy a 5 class deal (that is every class for the year) for $65, though. That's $10 off!
Do I have to book in to come?
Nope! You are welcome to just show up and pay on the day.
We do recommend booking in, though, as if we reach our capacity limits (thanks COVID) we will have to turn anyone that is not already booked in away!
Where will the classes be held?
In the Halifax St Christadelphian's back building. The address is 105 Halifax St, Adelaide.
(The classes were originally held at Hyde Park, but there we so many of us we had to move!)
Who is running the classes?
Hannah Saxon. She is a fully qualified Pilates Teacher, yay!
Presence as a whole is planned by a subcommittee of Adelaide Youth Conference 2023.
How do the classes have a “spiritual focus”?
Each of our classes will conclude with a time for personal prayer & meditation. This will allow you to take a moment after exercising to rest in God’s presence (Exodus 33v14).
