Who is Pilates for?

Pilates is suitable for people of all ages and abilities and is especially beneficial for anyone looking to improve their strength, posture and flexibility.

The exercises focus on building a strong core, supporting the spine and improving balance and mobility. Pilates is ideal for those who spend a lot of time sitting, people wanting to reduce aches and pains, or anyone looking for a gentle but effective way to strengthen the body. Regular practice can help improve posture, increase body awareness and support overall wellbeing, helping you move more easily and feel stronger in everyday life.

Pilates focuses on strengthening the centre by relearning the mind and body to recruit core muscles. It involves finding the neutral position of the spine during standing, prone and supine positions and is known as core stability.

Pilates helps increase muscular balance and strength and improves client’s posture.
Pilates helps identify basic postural imbalances.
Pilates helps tone little-used muscle groups in the abdomen, torso and upper and lower back, while incorporating a slow breathing technique to energise the body.
Pilates works the muscles of the whole body ie glutes (bottom), abdominals, arms etc.

Through Pilates will start to notice a longer leaner toned shape, flat stomach, strong back and increased mobility and flexibility.

It also increases strength and endurance, improves balance and co-ordination, all without producing over developed or bulky muscles.

We look at posture as good posture can make you look and feel younger, stronger and more confident and can help improve your breathing, advance your sports performance, decrease your risk of injury and improve your bio-mechanical efficiency.

Over the course of your life, good posture can prevent painful physical strain in your joints.

Participants are encouraged to work at their own individual levels, building up strength, endurance and flexibility gradually at their own pace.

My Pilates classes are suitable for everyone regardless of age, sex and level of fitness.

Each exercise can be done at different levels of intensity with additional modifications to cater for anyone with specific muscular or joint limitations. If you are in any doubt, it is always advisable to check with your GP before undergoing any exercise programme.
