PILATES

“Pilates is the complete coordination of body, mind and spirit”. - Joseph Pilates

Pilates focuses on improving muscle strength and tone, particularly your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks, essentially the ‘core muscles’ of your body.

While on the mat, you will perform precise and controlled movements suitable for your own body’s needs. By building body awareness you will recognise imbalances and the effects of every day movements and routine. Pilates can make a huge difference!

 

Instructor Sophie is a fully qualified Classical Pilates mat work teacher with over 9 years of experience. After years of performing and teaching dance, Sophie decided to focus on Pilates after experiencing its wonderful benefits.

 

“Pilates has given me an awareness of what my body needs, how I can become stronger and how I must just keep moving! Even after many years of dancing, I feel more in tune with my body now than ever before”

Pilates focuses on improving muscle strength and tone, particularly your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks, essentially the ‘core muscles’ of your body.
Pilates uses a combination of approximately 50 simple, repetitive exercises to create muscular exertion. Advocates of this system of exercise claim that exercises can be adapted to provide either gentle strength training for rehabilitation or a strenuous workout vigorous enough to challenge skilled athletes. The exercises are designed to increase muscle strength and endurance, as well as flexibility and to improve posture and balance. There is cautious support for the effectiveness of Pilates in improving flexibility, abdominal and lumbo-pelvic stability and muscular activity. Stronger support cannot be given at this point in time primarily due to the limited number of studies and the lack of sound methodology in the published research. However, current research does indicate that there may be applications for this type of intervention in certain clinical populations that are worthy of continued investigation.
