Mat Pilates
Mixed ability Pilates Mat classes with small props (optional). During these classes of corrective exercises you will strengthen, lengthen and tone the whole body. There is a strong focus on the core muscles - primary abdominals, inner thighs, and glutes to support the back as well as the spinal and muscular flexibility. Flowing through precise and challenging movements with connected breath, you engage your whole body, efficiently working and balancing every muscle group and improving posture.
