Pilates can transform bodies. It makes them stronger, more mobile, and can help correct muscular imbalances. It improves core strength, flexibility, joint health & mobility, posture, balance, coordination and body awareness. It’s very effective when used to rehabilitate after injury or illness.
Class begins with a review of the basic fundamentals and a warm-up. This is followed by a series of traditional mat exercises designed by Joseph Pilates, and model adaptations using small pieces of equipment It finishes with a short constructive rest and stretches.
Class is suitable for all levels and all are welcome. I provide modifications and progressions for the yoga poses and Pilates exercises so that everyone can work at their own level and progress at their own pace.
The class is varied, friendly and welcoming.
