What is Pilates?
Pilates is a technique invented some 70 years ago by Joseph H. Pilates. Pilates is a body conditioning method that works in a different way to other fitness techniques. Targeting the deep postural muscles, pilates works by building strength from the inside out, rebalancing the body and bringing it into correct alignment. It helps to reshape your body, which will become longer, leaner and more toned. It will also improve your posture, achieving the perfect balance between strength and flexibility, and it is a great way to relieve unwanted stress and tension.

Pilates involves concentration and the co-ordination of breath and movement, thereby helping to balance mind and body. Its slow, controlled approach means that it gives much longer-term results and it is especially recommended by medical specialists for those with back
problems.

Who is it good for?
Possibly one of the most exciting aspects of pilates is that anyone can do it, and everyone can achieve amazing results. There is no bouncing, jarring, or stress to your body, so pilates offers the ideal form of exercise for people who, because of joint pain or muscle weakness, shy away from exercise. So from the young to the old, the weak to the strong pilates is a fantastic way of balancing the mind and the body.

All levels are welcome, from beginners to the experienced. Groups are intentionally kept small so your instructor can give you the attention and the workout that is best for you. Book your place today
