“ If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young.”

Joseph Pilates

 

Pilates is ideal for people from all walks of life, from top athletes to first time exercisers. 

Pilates is a body-conditioning method that works in a different way to other fitness techniques.  It targets the deep postural muscles by building strength from the inside out, rebalancing the body and bringing it into correct alignment.  It helps to reshape your body which will become longer, leaner and more toned.  It will also improve your posture, achieving the perfect balance between strength and flexibility, and is a great way to relieve stress and tension.  It’s slow, controlled approach means that it gives longer-term results.

 

Pilates offers both mental and physical training, teaching you to be in control of your body, encouraging you to breathe more efficiently, and to develop the "girdle of strength", the core postural muscles that stabilise the torso.  Precise flowing movements mean that muscle and ligament damage, sometimes associated with other fitness regimes, are avoided.
