Pilates is a mental and physical full body-conditioning system designed to improve strength, flexibility, posture and overall body awareness. Developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, the method was originally called Contrology 
– emphasizing control of the muscles through concentration and breath.
It is a great form of exercise whether you consider yourself to be young, old, fit or unfit, a beginner or experienced in Pilates. It is suitable for pre and post-natal exercise, athletes looking to improve performance, individuals recovering from injury, anyone wanting to improve posture and reduce back pain and, those seeking a mindful, low impact workout. Pilates can be slow and gentle or tough and challenging and we can offer you sessions to meet your needs. Through precise, controlled, mindful movement our Pilates sessions will help improve your muscle strength, flexibility, balance and co-ordination and posture. Pilates is gentle on the joints while still being deeply challenging. For this reason Pilates is often recommended by physiotherapists, doctors or osteopaths to help as a rehabilitation tool.
