PILATES

Pilates is a mind-body exercise modality which was developed by Joseph Pilates (1880-1967) who named his method 'Contrology'. After his passing they renamed it to 'Pilates' in his honour. This approach is ideal for everyone regardless of age or level of fitness. It is useful as a work out or to recondition after an injury, surgery, postural adaptations or musculoskeletal condition.

Benefits of Pilates exercises include:

Builds core strength and stability
Improves posture and alignment
Increases flexibility, balance and coordination
Improves muscular balance and strength
Increases muscular endurance and tone
Prevents injury and heightens body awareness
Enhances athletic performance
Relieves stress and back pain

"If your spine is stiff at 30, you are old.

If it is flexible when you are 60, you are young" Joseph Pilates
