Over the years Pilates has proven to be a superior exercise system that allows each and every one of us to explore the benefits of increased flexibility, strength and core. It is excellent for releasing tension and stress from the body as well as rebalancing muscles to prevent pain and injury. Over time, you gain knowledge and awareness of your body’s capabilities, developing a mindful, educated approach to exercise, creating balance and freedom of movement for your body.

Focused around the benefits of a strong abdominal area. Pilates helps to achieve a stable and grounded base from which your body can move freely.
 



Benefits include:

  • Reducing tension and stress
  • Increasing abdominal strength and tone
