What pilates can do for you?

Pilates is a low impact form of exercise that can help develop flexibility, mobility and strength.

With consistency, it can dramatically increase your mind to body connection, helping with your awareness of posture and alignment. This in turn can translate into thoughtful, functional, movement patterns in your everyday life.

Here’s what the NHS say about the benefits.

Pilates aims to strengthen the body in an even way, with particular emphasis on core strength to improve general fitness and wellbeing.

Pilates has something to offer people of all ages and levels of ability and fitness, from beginners to elite athletes.

Practitioners say regular pilates can improve posture, muscle tone, balance and joint mobility, as well as relieve stress and tension. For elite athletes, including dancers, pilates can complement training by developing whole-body strength and flexibility, and help reduce the risk of injury.
