PILATES
Pilates creates balance, strength, flexibility, and stability. Keeping us strong and supple whatever our age, size or shape Pilates can be for you.
The practise of Pilates allows for many of the postures to be easily adapted for those with special requirements.
As well as offering an opportunity for those who are perhaps training hard to really develop strength and flexibility. And work to find balance and health.
Pilates is suitable for people with:
- Arthritis
- Hyper mobility
- Tight muscles and imbalances
- Recovering from breaks and fractures
- Scoliosis
- Chronic Fatigue
- Post Pregnancy (after your 12 week check)
- Hip replacements
- Back pain
We look at the body holistically, how we stand, sit, move. The places we hold our tension, our movement patterns, where we lack fluidity and grace.
- Pilates is practised on all planes of movement, standing, sitting, prone and supine
- It employs mindful attention
- Controlled breathing and focus
- Graceful flowing movements
- Awareness of our body in motion
