Pilates is a body conditioning programme with each exercise focusing on the eight key principles:

Relaxation; Breathing; Concentration; Flowing movements; Alignment; Co-ordination; Centring; Stamina

The core fundamentals of the exercises are based upon a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the human body.

When your body and mind are under stress your muscles become restricted which in turn affects movement and posture; leading to tiredness, weakness, aching muscles and increased risk of injury. Pilates uses the eight key principles to make a connection between mind and body to bring positive results both internally and externally.

Osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists are now recommending Pilates as one of the safest forms of exercise today.

I offer both individual and group classes to those wishing to benefit from Pilates.
