Group Pilates

Pilates is open to everyone, not only is it a powerful rehabilitation tool but a great way to get the very best out of your body. Classes can be adapted to give less or more challenging exercises depending on the individual.

Pilates is a mental and physical body conditioning programme that uses exercises to change the way we use our bodies. It aims to improve muscle recruitment patterns, by restoring good postural alignment and natural optimum movement.

We work on flowing, controlled movements, connecting the mind and body through the breath. By focusing on the quality of movement, development of optimum movement patterns and posture alignment through your Pilates these will become part of your day to day movement patterns outside of the studio. As a result, you will see improved balance/stability, co-ordination and a boost of energy levels.

The Body Control “Pilates Method”

I teach the Body Control Pilates Method, the UK and European market leader in Pilates teacher training, working to UK national standards, whose guiding principle is to make the benefits of Pilates available to all through high quality, safe and effective teaching. Body Control Pilates originates from Joseph Pilates method which he called ‘Contrology’ and consists of the ‘Classical Mat Series’ these 110 exercises are included in the Body Control Pilates method.
