Why Practice Pilates?

Think of a tree. Does it have all its strength in its limbs? No. The tree is only as strong as its trunk and roots. Without a strong trunk, the tree would topple over.

It's the same for human bodies. If we don't concentrate on building a good foundation and a strong trunk or core, we'll end up tight in some places and weak in others, injury-prone and susceptible to the pitfalls of our occupation or chosen form of exercise.

This is where pilates comes in. Many people are not aware that Pilates is truly for all bodies and ages and is perfect for keeping you moving pain-free into your golden years.

In an hour long mat class you will do a variety of exercises  in a ‘full body’ workout that aims to strengthen your core & trunk, improve your flexibility, correct your postural alignment as well as strengthen and tone your muscles. All this ultimately results in a happier, healthier you!

Pilates is the antidote to what we do to our bodies every day. With a focus on the breath and flow, Pilates exercises relieve stress and soothe aches and pains. With all the hunching and sitting we tend to do, the cues and corrections of each class will increase your postural and muscular awareness, both inside the studio and the minute you step out of it.
