Finding Pilates was the best thing that has happened to my body. After years of participating in competitive sport I was fit and strong but I had no idea how dysfunctional my body had become. During my first Pilates class I became aware of how I was unable to perform even the simple mat exercises that others seem to find easy. I was disconnected from the intricacies of how the body moves and wasn’t spending time taking care of my body so that I could perform the sports I love, life-long. From the first class I knew intuitively that I needed to immerse myself in this method. The same exercises that I was introduced to that stretched and strengthened my body, I will teach them to you.

What do you already know about Pilates? That it will strengthen your core and realign the spine to improve posture. This course will do all that but beyond that we will empower you with the knowledge to have a practice that you can do for yourself. Gaining the body knowledge and awareness to move your body well. These lessons will transfer into how you perform your daily active lifestyle, exercise regimens and sport.
