​

MAT PILATES is a physical fitness system that was developed in the early 20th century to strengthen, stretch and stabilise key muscles. With a focus on correct alignment, centring, concentration, control, precision, breathing and flowing movement to build strength, flexibility, and lean muscle tone, it’s also a mindful form of movement.

Pilates is thought to build long, lean muscles, align the spine and achieve balance between strength/length in the front, back and sides of the body for improved posture through strengthening the core stabilising muscles of the body. This includes the stabilising muscles of the spine, pelvis and shoulder blades to improve joint mobility and stability – making it perfect for both stiff and hyper-mobile students

 

Pilates is known for working the body from the inside out, with an emphasis on alignment, balanced muscular strength on both sides of the body and enhanced muscular control of the back and limbs. Improved posture/alignment makes us look taller, slimmer, younger, feel more confident, more energised. Slumped posture/imbalanced alignment on the other hand, can lead to low energy, pain, low mood, poor digestion and shallow breathing. The positive effects of improved posture, increased range of movement + feeling stronger, more empowered from the inside out may soon have you feeling more comfortable in your everyday activities and can significantly reduce the risk of injury

 

With multi levels offered in your one-on-one lesson, you’ll develop the tone of the Pelvic Floor, Transverse Abdominus, Multifidus, Gluteal muscles, Lower Trapezius, Serratus Anterior, shoulders and shoulder blade muscles and the Deep Neck Flexors
