Pilates offers both mental and physical training, teaching you to be in control of your body. Targeting the key
postural muscles, it works to build strength from the inside out and rebalances your body. By focusing on core strength,
flexiblity and posture, students see continuing results: they look better, feel better and are challenged on multiple
levels.
With regular practice, you will benefit from:
- Improved flexbility
- Greater strength and muscle tone
- Longer, leaner muscles
- Improved posture
- Less incidence of back pain
- Lower stress levels
Precise, controlled flowing movements mean that the muscle
and ligament damage sometimes associated with other fitness regimes is avoided. Pilates is ideally suited to all ages
and levels of fitness, as the exercises are tailored to individual needs and abilities. Posture, balance and core strength
are all greatly increased. Bone density and joint health improve and many people experience positive body awareness
for the first time.
The Pilates method is currently rising in popularity but its benefits have been enjoyed for decades by dancers, gymnasts
and sports people since it was invented by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s.
Whether you are an athlete or sports person wanting to enhance your performance, somone recovering from an injury, suffering
with back or neck pain, or simply looking for a greater sense of wellbeing, Pilates can help you. You can build a strong,
healthy, balanced mind and body.
