(required: mat, optional: band, block, pilates weights - you can buy from us)

Pilates trains your  powerhouse muscles - the core, glutes and pelvic floor - to develop muscle tone and full body awareness. You repeat the exercises to build strength, balance & flexibility.

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

It’s founder – Joesph Pilates once said -  “You will feel better in ten sessions, look better in twenty sessions, and have a completely new body in thirty sessions"

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.

Pilates, although not Yoga, has similar mind benefits, boosting  mental health and mindfulness & reconnecting you with your breath
