Learn to improve your movement patterns… by identifying and activating correct muscles, we can move optimally and reduce aches & pains. Pilates is fantatsic for postural correction, improving stability, strength, balance and flexibility. Consistent and regular Pilates sees fantastic results. Many professional athletes choose Pilates to strengthen their core and improve performance. Lessons learned on the mat will help you excel or rehabilitate. WHAT IS PILATES? Pilates is a series of exercises created by the German born Joseph Pilates in the 1920s. His method aimed to improve posture and strengthen the core – the powerhouse of the body – which helps with balance and gives our limbs a solid base from which to push, lift and perform dynamic movement. Modern science has enhanced Joe’s repertoire making it safer and more applicable to our bodies. I teach Standing Pilates, Mat Pilates, and Chair Pilates for all age groups and specialisms. All bodies can achieve in a Pilates class. Group classes are a great way to achieve consistency of Pilates practice, and 1:1 sessions can complement your training by assessing specifics in your posture and function. Pilates exercises can be broken down or layered together to increase or decrease difficulty.
