      Nice to see some positive or at least neutral representation of British Muslims in the media I guess

      I find myself just a little conflicted. On the one hand I don’t think there’s anything wrong with single sex classes and encouraging groups such as men to take care of their health through that. On the other I am aware of the basic misogyny of *more than one* religion or groups within religions that treat men and women not just as different but let’s face it *not* equal. And single sex events especially when ‘we hope to do something for women at some time in the future ’ can also be a result of that. But I’ll give this the benefit of the doubt and take this class as a rather nice thing and a nice story. Because we need more nice things.

      It’s great to see a this type of community building from a religious group. Although, I don’t understand why they need a separate building for women’s classes, why can’t they just run the women’s session after, or on another day than the men’s?

      I look forward to seeing the Islamic fanatics responses.

      Muslims can’t do anything in this country without this sub finding a way to criticise them.

      Pilates was developed during the first World War as a rehabilitative way for [servicemen] to strenghthen their bodies in a way that wasn’t overly exertive (I paraphrase).

      It makes so much sense for it to be offered to older / less able people as a way to maintain strength and flexibility.

      “Modern day” pilates = flexy sexy women in lycra doing crunches is a misrepresentation.

      *caveat: am woman who wears lycra and does pilates crunches, no shade, just saying. Make it inclusive for everyone! Love to see the uncles doing pilates, more of this 🙂
