ABOUT PILATES

Most people will have heard of Pilates at some point in their life but are unsure of exactly what a “Pilates session” entails.

Created over 90 years ago by Joseph Hubertus Pilates it is a system of movement and body-conditioning, carried out on machines or on the floor (aka “Matwork”).

 

 

The benefits are:

• Improved posture, alignment and balance
• Lengthens and elongates muscles
• Strengthens and tones your body
• Restores flexibility and suppleness
• Encourages correct breathing therefore energizing and revitalizing the body

This method of exercise is built around eight principles:
Relaxation; Breathing; Concentration; Flowing Movements; Alignment; Co-ordination; Centring; Stamina

"In ten sessions you will feel the difference, in twenty you will see the difference and in thirty you will have a whole new body." - J. Pilates
