Pilates Basics 4 Week Course

We have a maximum of 6 places available on this course to ensure that everyone receives individual guidance and tuition.

Over four weeks you’ll be introduced to the basics of the Pilates system of exercise, building progressively in an unpressured environment where you are very much the individual.



The course provides an opportunity to learn about the Pilates Principles:

breathing
centre
control
precision
co-ordination
alignment

The four-week course provides a learning environment for those of all ages who are new to Pilates. Beginner’s exercises teach you to discover and strengthen your core muscles, which will support you through the more complicated movements to come.

Pilates is all about creating balance, stability and co-ordination, which will enhance your overall movement, boost energy, improve your posture, and leave you feeling more connected to your body. Pilates gives your spine stronger support enabling you to stand up taller, encourages good joint mobility and flexibility, and creates long lean muscles.
