Pilates is a whole body workout, focusing on working all parts of the body correctly and evenly with a strong focus on the core, to ensure that it becomes stable and strong. It addresses muscular imbalances and aims to achieve optimal body alignment. With regular practise you will find that your balance, strength and coordination increases, your posture is more aligned, an increase in muscle tone and for those of you with bad backs and neck tension, the pain should be eased with regular practise. Understanding how your body works and moves and it's capabilities, also helps to prevent unnecessary injuries. You will find that what you learn in class, you will then be able to incorporate into your daily movement.
