Pilates

What is Pilates?

Pilates helps stabilise posture, strengthen the deep muscles and alleviate back and joint pain.

It also requires concentration and an awareness of your body and breathing, helping to relax the mind and reduce stress.

Anyone can benefit from Pilates, irrespective of their fitness level: young people, adults, older people, expectant mothers and athletes.

As Joseph Pilates said: “In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 sessions you'll see the difference, and in 30 sessions you'll have a whole new body”
