It can improve your posture and body awareness, and result in better and safer everyday movements as well as improve your performance in other physical activities. Pilates is great for all ages and physical abilities.
The class is primary aimed at the beginner/improver levels, and taught in small groups, using some small equipment. During the class we will work on the core strength and stability, muscular imbalance, movement range and co-ordination. So if you never done Pilates before or just looking for a class to continue your practice - come and join us it will be fun!

Since a young age I have been immersed in a movement. Dance was where I learned to use my body as a language. It also taught me, that to perform a movement with precision one required a great deal of the body awareness, coordination and strength. I strongly believe this also applies to the everyday live. You don't have to be a dancer or an athlete to feel the benefits and rewards of a more balanced and coordinated movements, mobile joints and a good posture. I practice Pilates because I feel it helps me to train and nurture these life essential skills.
The first steps I took towards Pilates was when I walked in to the studio in south London to meet my amazing first teacher, it must have been 2007. Since then I have been practising Pilates along side dance and in 2013 I competed Level 3 Diploma in Mat Pilates. While it's just a beginning of my journey in teaching movement - it feels very rewarding. For me Pilates is moving and living.
