The aim of Pilates is to identify basic postural imbalances and through Pilates based exercises:

• Increases muscular balance and strength
• Improves posture
• Facilitates the ability to optimally function occupationally and recreationally
• Improves core and back strength

The Pilates technique focuses on strengthening the centre by relearning the mind and body to recruit core muscles. Basic Pilates involves finding and maintaining the neutral position during standing, prone and supine positions.

What do I need?
Please bring a yoga mat and wear yoga/pilates socks or bare feet. Trainers are not appropriate to wear during the class. Most of the exercises are mat based.
