Move Well... Stay Well!

Joseph Hubertus Pilates

"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. In order to achieve happiness, it is imperative to gain mastery of your body. If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young."

What Is Pilates

The Pilates Method represents a unique approach to exercise that develops body awareness, improving and changing the body's postural and alignment habits and increasing flexibility and ease of movement.

The core fundamentals of the Method are based upon a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the human body. The Pilates Teacher uses this information to create a comprehensive exercise programme for each client with the aim of restoring a greater sense of balance. It is this holistic approach that sets the Method apart from many other forms of exercise. Indeed Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and General Practitioners are now recommending Pilates as one of the safest forms of exercise today.

It is beneficial for:

General fitness and body awareness
Pregnancy: Pre and post natal
Injury prevention
Remedial and rehabilitation exercise
Improvement of technique for athletes and dancers
The elderly
For children and teenagers

Pilates helps to:

Increase and create a balance between strength and flexibility
Create an awareness of and strengthen dynamic stability
Improve coordination
Release stress
Improve posture

There will be Summer Classes over August. There are some time changes and some classes have changed. Please check the Timetable and Fees Tab for full details.

Have a safe and enjoyable summer for all those heading away or just enjoying more family/friends time.

I have begun a couple of small groups for those needing very low level Pilates and more individual management. For details please contact me by phone or email.
