Pilates Mat classes aim to introduce you to an increased understanding and awareness of Pilate’s principles, to promote core strength, relaxation, flexibility and to increase mind body awareness.

Our Method:

Importance on beginning movement from a central core of stability (lumbo-pelvic region)
Precision of movement
Awareness of breath
Continued flowing movement
Altering abnormal patterns of movement to achieve a carry over effect into daily function

Mat work: Combination of the original 34 Pilates exercises on the mat that are designed to promote core stability, flexibility, endurance, postural and body awareness and to correct muscle imbalances.
