Our Pilates is a mat based class which runs on a Monday. This class is suitable for all abilities, options are given throughout the class to make a certain exercise easier/harder so you can work at a level which suits you. There is no experience required.
Pilates uses a breathing technique called lateral breathing to allow the body to flow through the movement to increase body strength, flexibility and to aid relaxation. It was created by a man named Joseph Pilates and was originally called ‘Controlology’, so it is all about learning to control the movement within the exercise.
Within the class you will work on the body evenly with a focus on core strength which can improve your posture, wellbeing and general fitness. Elements of the class with be able to be adapted into everyday living, such as having an awareness of better posture which can be incorporated into a good sitting posture for work at a desks etc.
