Pilates  designed to create greater core strength, stabilisation and postural balance by focusing on controlled movement patterns. Our classes cater for all ages, and suit beginners and intermediate level. It includes a mix of performing exercises using your own body weight, or with the help of various pieces of equipment, as well as incorporating various stretches. Each exercise is taught to be performed with attention to proper breathing techniques and abdominal muscle control.

​

Pilates uses correct alignment, centering, concentration, control, precision, breathing, and flowing movement (the Pilates principles) to establish a perfect working body from the inside out. Classes build strength, flexibility and lean muscle tone.

 

Pilates has a focus on the core which can basically be thought of as the ‘powerhouse’ of your body. Because of its core focus, Pilates is popular not only in the field of fitness, but also in rehabilitation. The focus on strengthening the core and improving postural awareness are especially well indicated for the alleviation and prevention of back, neck and joint pain.
