Pilates classes for all abilities in small groups with a focus on ease of movement and injury prevention, plus bespoke private sessions including injury rehab and sports massage. Devised by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900’s, it is a series of slow and controlled body conditioning exercises which target the deep postural muscles in order to build strength from within. It relieves stress, builds core stability and strength, improves muscle elasticity and mobilises spinal and peripheral joints. This can reduce the incidence of back & neck pain, which is why Pilates is often recommended by medical professionals. Pilates is suitable for all shapes, sizes, ages, abilities, backgrounds, occupations, males and females and anyone who would like to enhance the way they look, feel and move. Group classes are restricted to very small numbers to ensure close supervision and individual attention in order to refine technique and alignment and obtain maximum benefit from each exercise and reach full physical potential. The clinic also offers Pilates for either one-to-one private sessions or two-to-one semi-private sessions. There are Pilates classes for Beginners and also classes for the more advanced, Pilates for Men, Gentle Pilates for Seniors, Dynamic Pilates, Strong Bones & Balance Pilates for those concerned about Osteoporosis, Hatha Flow Yoga and Tower Apparatus Pilates classes. We also offer Pilates for Breast Cancer, Hip/Knee replacements and arthritis and Scoliosis. All of our Pilates teachers trained and qualified at Body Control Pilates in London. We only employ teachers with this particular qualification as we feel it is the most in depth and highest level qualification available. We also offer Reformer Pilates (and other large apparatus) on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis, and we have a Sports/Remedial Massage clinic open Monday afternoons, Wed-Fri afternoons, Saturday mornings.
