A gentle introduction

Pilates.

Introduction to Pilates. These classes are designed for people with no experience with Pilates and focus on the Pilates principals and fundamentals of breathing, centre, placement, neutral, control and stability.

The classes are tailored to individuals, meaning that variations of the exercises will be provided when needed so that everyone feels the benefits and work towards their own goals. They are a gentle introduction to the principals of Pilates.
