Pilates is a mind-body and spirit discipline that develops a strong “core” whilst elongating and strengthening the peripheral muscles, resulting in an evenly conditioned body. It encourages correct breathing, promotes good anatomical alignment and consequently greatly improves posture.

Pilates works because it is based on a profound understanding of how the skeletal and muscular framework of the body works. It leaves you with a perfectly balanced body that has a strong, well-defined shape, good joint mobility and great posture.

What differentiates Pilates from other forms of exercise, is that it is not only highly recommended for those who are 100% fit, but is also for those with back or neck problems, sports injuries and is even entirely safe pre and post pregnancy.

The growth in its popularity is testimony to how enormously effective it is: it is highly recommended by doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths for rehabilitation purposes and is also seen as a fantastic workout for fit bodies that want to greatly improve strength and tone and remain injury free.
