During the class, your posture will be observed and your movement patterns assessed. Exercises will be based on this initial assessment to address, realign and rebalance specific areas of your body. Classes will work every muscle group to correct muscular and skeletal function. Exercises build up progressively using evolved exercises and Joseph Pilates' original classical matwork repertoire.


There are endless benefits of Pilates for general fitness and sports enthusiasts, specific health conditions, the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries as well as for your overall well-being.

Pilates builds strength from the inside out to develop strong abdominal, back, buttock and deep postural muscles to support the skeletal system and form the strong centre of the body known as the ‘powerhouse’.
