Each class is pitched at the right level and varies each week - obviously Emily herself is lovely and kind and patient - I would highly recommend Emily’s classes!”

The benefits of Pilates

The benefits of Pilates ~

Unlike a conventional workout which targets the same muscles, resulting in muscular imbalance which is the primary cause of injury and chronic back pain. Pilates conditions the whole body, even the ankles and feet. Your entire musculature is evenly balanced, elongated and strengthened helping you to enjoy daily activities with greater ease, improve performance and minimize chance of injury. That’s why so many professional sports teams and elite athletes use Pilates as part of there training programme.

 Concentration on mindfulness and breathwork during Pilates improves mental focus and reduces stress. The connection between the mind and body is a core principle of Pilates. All exercises are performed with a focus on flow and relaxed control and with the aim of maximum efficiency of movement with minimum effort - there is no strain on any one area. Pilates works muscles close to the bone which stabilises and strengthens the joints and improves postural alignment. This also helps to repair injuries, restore lost function and prevent re-injury.

 Pilates is widely acclaimed for its broad application for all people, all ages, all fitness abilities; and the results it delivers. Modifications to exercises allow for a range of difficulty and can be tailored to your specific functional needs.

 Why not give it a go and begin your Pilates journey!
