Technique
Pilates works to re-balance your body through low impact non-aerobic exercises. You'll use precise movements to isolate and strengthen your weaker muscles, increase your mobility and lengthen overly tight muscles. The exercises also improve your core muscles – giving you a trimmer waist and a better posture.
Pilates uses breathing to help you focus on your body, leaving you feeling calm and refreshed by the end of each session. The better awareness of your body that you develop will also help you stay injury free in other sporting activities.
