Power Pilates is a full-body class built on the classic Pilates principles. The session focuses on strengthening and stabilising the core, while working on flexibility, mobility and control. You will move through a varied workout, partly standing and partly on the mat, with exercises for the abdominals, back, legs and glutes. The pace rises as the class goes on, so you build both strength and heart rate, but the atmosphere is cooperative rather than competitive.
The exercises are adapted so that everyone can take part. No previous Pilates experience or high fitness level is needed, and the class starts where you are. Mariam Moslehpour has taught certified Pilates since 2011 and has more than 17 years of experience as a full-time instructor, teaching everything from yoga and Pilates to reformer, strength and cardio. She is well suited to both beginners and more experienced exercisers.
