Put your body and soul first with Pilates

Our hectic lifestyles put our bodies through their paces on a daily basis and it's all too easy to take them for granted. But wouldn't it be great to feel as though you're running like a slick, well-oiled machine? Would you like a more toned, more flexible, longer, leaner, stronger body? Well these are just a couple of the benefits of Pilates. Not to mention the positive effect it can have on your stress levels and emotional well-being as you relax and focus purely on yourself for a change.

"To achieve the highest accomplishments we must strive to acquire strong, healthy bodies, and develop our minds" Joseph Pilates

Pilates can re-introduce balance into your whole life, as well your physical body. Building a strong central core of muscles will stabilise your trunk and support your spine, Pilates improves the alignment of your body, and will:

• Help to re-shape your silhouette, making you longer, leaner and more toned.
• Flatten your tummy and trim your waist.
• Improve your posture, your strength and flexibility, offering you a better awareness of your body.
• Relieve back pain and guard against future injuries.
• Rid you of stress and tension.
• Increase your bone density.

Pilates - a fusion of mind and body

Pilates uses core strengthening exercises that work without putting any strain of the joints or heart. Key principals such as breathing, concentration and postural alignment are at the centre of the practice of Pilates, strengthening your body from the inside out.
