Pilates for Everyone

Pilates unites the mind and body in a way that eases tension, reduces inflammation and promotes health and well being.

Pilates not only helps improve your body, but also helps with day to day activities.

Typically we all sit at our desks during the day and are using ‘gadgets’ which affects our posture. This activity also affects Tonic & Phasic Muscles. Tonic muscles tend to shorten in response to over use whereas phasic muscles tend to lengthen and weaken which can lead to musculoskeletal imbalance and joint instability.

Pilates will help you restore the balance and improve strength and flexibility and with regular practice correct posture and musculoskeletal imbalance and joint stability.

It is important to take a break from daily life in order to focus on yourself.

The reformer is a Rehab Reformer and is higher than most other Pilates reformers. At 22 inches (55cm) high it is easier to get on and off especially if experiencing any issues while exercising. It especially helps to do mat work exercises if you struggle to get on and off the floor.
