Mind and body classes

Pilates

Pilates is a system of repetitive exercises performed on a yoga mat or other equipment to promote strength, stability, and flexibility. Pilates exercises develop the body through muscular effort that stems from the core. The technique cultivates awareness of the body to support everyday movements that are efficient and graceful. 

Pilates advocates tout the core-strengthening benefits of the method to improve posture and balance. Pilates targets the "powerhouse" muscles, which include the glutes, hips, pelvic floor, and lower back. Like yoga, the Pilates Method encourages deep, conscious breathing.

Yoga

Yoga is a great class for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. It can help transform your body and mind. It will improve strength, flexibility and posture, and relax and de-stress.

You will hold various poses throughout the class, with an instructor helping you throughout, so if you are a complete beginner, you will still feel the benefits. 

We will provide mats for the class, but please feel free to bring your own if you have one. 

This session lasts for 60 minutes and is a low intensity session.
