Pilates - All Abilities (Online)

Course intent

Pilates is a great way to build up your core strength and improve flexibility to keep you healthy and active. It focuses on alignment, breathwork and core stability. Your tutor will be able to adapt all postures to you.

What will I learn?

Posture, strength and flexibility will be improved through a series of (mainly) floor-based exercises, introduced slowly over a period of weeks. You will work on the core muscles to protect the spine in everyday movement and ensure the body is correctly aligned.
