Pilates :

Pilates is a unique method of body conditioning, restoring balance to the body during movement. This allows flowing balanced movements, using the individual's own body to its greatest advantage, utilising its own strength, muscle flexibility and co ordination which requires concentrating on the body throughout the movement.

Posture will improve; legs will become straighter and more flexible. The trunk is taught to be strong and protect the spine, this makes for easier less tiring movements not just in exercising but also in every day movement.

Spinal mobility has effects on more efficient nerve stimulus from the central nervous system, this helps in less fatigue, can help with stomach and abdominal problems and reduce stress. The immune system can also be boosted and give a feeling of well-being.

Pilates is ideal for all age groups. You do not work in a choreographed session but go at your own pace, concentrating on your own body and working to your own bodies abilities, which will slowly and precisely improve. There is no going for the burn in Pilates!
