Pilates is a wonderful safe way to condition the entire body and develop 'core stability'. Focused stretching and strengthening of muscle groups helps to balance the skeletal system and improve posture. Pilates exercises can be used specifically to rehabilitate injury or to compliment sporting activities such as tennis, cycling, dance and gym work. Take a little time out to enjoy our calming studio environment. Relieving stress and increasing fitness can have a powerful impact on your entire sense of well being. Seventy-five minutes to focus just on you!

Sessions are carefully tailored to the fitness level of each individual. Many of us find it difficult to keep ourselves as fit as we would like to within a busy lifestyle. It may be hard to find a satisfactory approach to alleviate lower back pain or posture related pain. Many Physiotherapists are now advising their clients to do Pilates. Lack of core stability is often a significant part of the problem. Try Pilates for 10 weeks to assess if this is going to make the difference for you. Many people continue on pain free with regular Pilates sessions. Pilates will also help relieve mental and physical symptoms of stress. It will invigorate your body gently on the inside and keep you looking great on the outside!

Careful attention and specialized programming enables pre and post natal women to exercise safely throughout pregnancy and afterwards. Many of the regular exercises have been adapted to be effective for women at various stages of pregnancy. Postural changes affect balance, while skeletal, endocrine and circulatory changes affect well being. We work gently to keep you fit during your pregnancy and well prepared for the birth of your baby and then Pilates can help you get back to good physical form after the birth with pelvic floor and abdominal strengthening and sacroiliac joint stabilization.
