What is Pilates?

Pilates is both a mind and body conditioning method which teaches you how to have greater control and awareness of your posture and the way your body moves. It targets your deep stabilising muscles and focuses on good body alignment and breathing patterns. It is a great way to compliment sports training, promote recovery from an injury as well as developing body awareness and functional fitness for your everyday life. It is particularly recommended for those with back, neck and general joint problems.
