DESCRIPTIONS
CLASSICAL PILATES
MATWORK
This class combines the classic Pilates Matwork with the use of Pilates equipment (elastics, rollers, Halo, Ladder Barrel, etc.).
Classes start with purposefully directed exercises which at once increase body awareness, warm up the muscles and mobilise the joints.
Exercises focusing on strength, flexibility and mobility create a balanced, flexible and toned body, and leave you feeling invigorated and centred !
SENIOR PILATES
Senior Pilates is designed specifically for 50+. Preserve your physical autonomy by maintaining your mobility, strength, control and endurance.
Classes are gentle, yet dynamic. The use of deep breathing and fluid movements ensures you work at a level that is as comfortable, or as challenging, as you like. Special focus is placed on coordination and proprioception which is essential as we get older to counteract everyday aches and pains, and avoid falls, as well as other age related issues such as osteoporosis and urinary incontinence.
Achieve your optimal functional fitness so you can enjoy every aspect of your life with confidence !
PILATES BARRE
Combining elements of classical and contemporary dance, Pilates and strength training, this class mixes intense muscle training with recovery stretching.
