"Many thanks for your support on our recent trip to Mottram Hall. The session was excellent and very well received by all the players and staff as discussed we hope to continue with regular sessions back home and we are currently looking for somebody of your high standard to help take this forward."

DAVID Beckham is hoping to stretch his career out until he's 40 - by doing body-bending Pilates exercises.
The England star, 34 - subject of hit film Bend It Like Beckham - says he is in his best shape in years due to an hour-long daily routine.

He is desperate to show Three Lions boss Fabio Capello he is fit enough for next year's World Cup in South Africa, and play on for years afterwards.

Becks was introduced to Pilates - a stretching and breathing routine particularly popular with women - on loan at AC Milan.

He said: ?I do an hour of Pilates a day. The medical set-up at Milan is fantastic and fitness-wise I am the best I have been for a long time.

The Italian giants insist all their players take up Pilates as it helps with balance and suppleness.

The fitness regime has reduced Becks' body fat from 13.7 per cent to a super-toned 8.5 per cent.

"Pilates has been an essential part of our conditioning programme since pre-season training. Nisha has provided the team with first class teaching skills and excellent knowledge in this area."
- Lee Nobes BA (Comb Hons), BSc (Hons), MCSP SRP, GSR
- Head Physiotherapist, Oldham Athletic FC



He played the whole of England's 6-0 thrashing of Andorra at Wembley earlier this month - his first full match for his country in three years. A source said: ?David covered every blade of grass?He might get a bit of stick from the England lads as Pilates is seen as a bit of a girlie fitness fad - but he won't care if he gets to South Africa.?

The midfielder returns to LA Galaxy next month. He and wife Victoria, 35, have signed up for Pilates classes at Los Angeles' exclusive Sports Club.

German Joseph Pilates created the exercises early last century. They are practised by more than ten million, including England's cricketers and New Zealand's rugby team.

"We have found great benefit with the introduction of Pilates sessions at Preston North End FC. Both the 1st team professionals and the youth team have weekly sessions of Pilates in an attempt to address the various weaknesses in player's core control. It plays a key part of our preventative rehabilitation strategies that we implement at the football club."

I would recommend this form of activity to anyone of any age." - Yoga Client Phil Dearden

Bring your own Yoga Mat and Block.

Vinyasa yoga is a term that covers a broad range of yoga classes. The word Vinyasa means "breath-synchronized movement." In other words, the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. This technique is sometimes also called Vinyasa Yoga Flow, or just Yoga Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance. Vinyasa Yoga's strength is in its diversity. There is no single philosophy, rulebook, or sequence that teachers must follow, so there is a lot of room for individual personalities and quirks to come through.
