What is pilates

Pilates is for everyone, regardless of age, fitness level or gender. Pilates is a complete method of exercise that focuses on building and strengthening your body's core (back, abdominal and pelvic muscles) and improving posture.

Using a series of low repetition, low impact stretching and conditioning exercises Pilates allows you to tone up and develop your muscles without adding bulk while simultaneously increasing your flexibility. It is so effective in fact that - within a short space of time - you will become aware of muscles you never even knew you had to begin with!

Pilates exercises train several muscle groups at once in smooth continuous movements. By developing proper techniques you can retrain your body to move in safer, more efficient patterns of movement, essential for good posture, peak performance, injury recovery and optimal health.
