Pilates is an exercise system that combines the best of eastern and western exercise techniques. Mind body connection, a smooth flowing breath, flexibility, strength and endurance.

It works from the inside out, strengthening the deep core postural muscles, abdominals and back muscles to improve body alignment and correct imbalances of strength that may have caused restriction of movement or pain. Due to its stabilizing effect on the joints, it is often recommended by physiotherapists, osteopaths and other medical/ physical therapy professionals as a rehabilitative aid or to help prevent injury. It is widely practiced by dancers and sports professionals to enhance and compliment their performance.

Pilates promotes long streamlined muscles without adding bulk, so it can transform the way that you look. The slow controlled movements and use of slow full breath can improve your body awareness, concentration and boost your self esteem. You should leave your class feeling stress free and energised.

Your workout will consist of a small number of repetitions of each exercise performed slowly in a controlled manner with the emphasis on the quality of the movement. The class is structured so that the whole body is worked.
