Pilates

'Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. Our interpretation of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily, and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.' Joseph Pilates

Modern Pilates is based on the original works of German-born Joseph Pilates who designed a series of exercises that uses both mental and physical techniques to condition the body. His methods were used primarily by dancers, however, in recent years these methods have been introduced into the health and fitness industry.

Whilst Modern Pilates looks at the original works of Joseph Pilates, it takes Pilates into the 21st century and combines the original techniques with recent research and the knowledge we now have about fitness, exercise and core stability.

Modern Pilates is a gentle, relaxing form of exercise that focuses on strengthening and stabilising your joints and muscles. It offers the following benefits:

• strengthens core muscles
• increases joint stability and mobility
• improves your posture
• relieves stress and tension
• helps with recovery and rehabilitation after injury or operations
