Pilates
Pilates is a non-impact and physical conditioning discipline. Pilates can benefit anyone that is looking to work and condition the body from the inside out and is popular with ladies and men of any age or level of experience. Pilates enhances positive body awareness and body confidence.
Regular practice of Mat Pilates will balance your body, build strong 'core' muscles (abdominal and lower back muscles that support the spine), improve posture, concentration, flexibility, efficiency of movement, and mobility. Pilates enhances sports performance; alleviates back problems, helps with postural alignment and reduces physical and mental fatigue.
