Pilates is a body conditioning method that works in a different way to other fitness techniques. It targets the deep postural muscles, by building strength from the inside out, and rebalances the body by bringing it into correct alignment. The approach is slow and controlled, giving long term results.

Pilates is suitable for anyone, from the first time exercisers to Olympic sports people, helping to re-shape your body, improve your posture and relieve stress and tension. It is particularly recommended by medical specialists for anyone with back problems and is also ideal for use in rehabilitation following injuries

Our organised programme of mat work classes is limited to low numbers per class and will allow you to develop your proficiency in a controlled environment. It avoids the pitfalls of unsupervised, haphazard efforts found in large classes, and will give you a real understanding of the concepts behind this unique form of exercise.

Each course begins with a one-to-one private session.

Joanne Cobbe runs our Pilates programme with the assistance of Kirsten Harder . For more information on class times please see Appointments and classes section.
