Any of the above options could be arranged as a one off / regular basis, e.g. a group of 1 - 3 post natal ladies / work colleagues etc. creating their own course at a time that suited them.
With limited availability of level one course’s we encourage clients to commence their Pilates training in 1:1 sessions or arranging a beginners small group series of sessions with the view to joining in with the intermediate classes when at an appropriate level.
This allows individuals to identify their personal needs more specifically than in a group setting. It is a necessity if there has been any history of pain or dysfunction or other related medical complaint.
Please contact an instructor to arrange a beginner’s sessions.

Pilates works the muscles through controlled movement and can be adapted to challenge any body whilst accomodating potential physical limitations. Therefore, Pilates is suitable for all, at any age, from the first-time exerciser with chronic back pain to top athletes looking for that sporting edge.
What can Pilates do for me?
Pilates will aid you to achieve better posture, strength and tone of muscles (especially in the abdominal area), improve breathing, suppleness and balance. All of these benefits will reduce your risk of future injury.
