What is Pilates?

Pilates is named after its creator, German born Joseph Pilates, who developed a range of exercises back in the 1920s, based on his belief that physical and mental health were closely related.

His exercise programme was developed using the influence of western forms of exercise, including boxing, gymnastics and Greco-Roman wrestling.

Pilates is an accessible way to build strength in your core muscles for better posture, balance and flexibility.

Benefits of Pilates!

Regularly practicing Pilates can help achieve a number of health benefits, which includes:

• Improved posture and balance .

Who can do Pilates?

Pilates is tailor made to your level of fitness and can be enjoyed by beginners through to professional athletes.

Classes can vary in intensity and can be gentle or dynamic but they will offer a solid workout for your fitness level.

Pilates can be adapted to provide gentle strengthening and stability and it’s a good idea to go slowly at first and gradually increase the exercises at a controlled rate.
