What is Pilates?

Ahead of its time when it was originated over 70 years ago by the late Joseph Pilates, this body conditioning programme produces results without boring repetition or 'marathon' workouts.

The Pilates Method improves muscle control, flexibility, strength, co-ordination and tone. The essence of a Matwork class is core control, which results from strengthening the deep abdominal and back muscles. Back and neck pain become history and proper alignment and graceful posture your natural assets.

Pilates Matwork is a series of interconnected movements, each with a purpose and a breathing pattern, it integrates mind and body resulting in increased energy and relaxation. Muscles are used deeply without stress and tension. Because of its precise nature anyone, regardless of age or fitness level, can enjoy and benefit from Pilates Matwork.
