Pilates is a training form focused on strength, flexibility and body control, suited to everyone regardless of age or training experience. It is gentle yet effective, especially for building up the core and back muscles, and many people find it gives them better posture, deeper body awareness and a welcome break from everyday life.
Each class begins with a walk-through of the six basic principles of pilates, followed by gentle warm-up exercises and a introduction to many of the classic mat exercises. The session moves through the whole body at a calm pace and finishes with stretching and relaxation.
