Pilates is a holistic exercise system that is designed to strengthen, lengthen and balance the body by focusing on correct and mindful movement.

Exercises incorporate the whole body and are performed on a mat or standing and sometimes using small equipment. Pilates is much more than a core stability class. It addresses muscular imbalances and helps to retrain dysfunctional movement patterns.

The 6 principles of Pilates:

• Centering
• Concentration
• Control
• Precision
• Breath
• Flow

Pilates is suitable for everyone. It doesn't matter what age you are or what your fitness level is.

Those who regularly practice Pilates will benefit from better body awareness and a sense of freedom in the way they move. Whether you are looking to improve your sports performance or just to feel better in everyday life Pilates can help. Pilates is not a quick fix but more of a lifestyle change.
