You move in all planes of the body – twisting, rotating & flexing.

Our class is a Mat class – we do use small equipment such as bands, circles and balls but not always.
It supports your other training
It corrects muscle imbalances – leading to injury prevention and a stronger body.
It improves posture, flexibility & core strength It improves overall body strength and balance too - If you struggle with balance, core workouts are the answer. The stronger your core muscles are, the sturdier you will be on your feet.
Pilates reduces cortisol in the body, which helps burn fat.
Pilates is low-impact on joints, high-impact on results and unlike aerobics, dancing, or running, Pilates goes easy on the joints. The movements are slow and non-jarring. As a result, you can yield exceptional physical results without putting your joints under any stress and strain.
