How long is a class?

Normally one hour.

What will Pilates give me?

A long, lean and strong body. Pilates retrains the mind and body to work efficiently without tension. Stamina and co-ordination are improved. The body comes into perfect balance and alignment, with the result that the immune system is stimulated and the level of general health very often rises because the internal organs now sit and function correctly. It can help improve sleep patterns,tension in the neck and shoulders and relieve stress.

What if I have an injury?

One to one training is recommended to assess injury and tailor a specific programme for recovery before attending a small group course. Pilates is an ideal form of rehabilitation, alot of the work is focused on abdominal/spinal muscles and alignment.

Pilates is often recommended by Physiotherapists, Doctors, Health Practitioners, Chiropractitioners for rehabilitation from injury or just for general well being.
