PREGNANCY PILATES is a safe and effective way to target the exact muscles that can be a problem during pregnancy and after birth. The benefits of Pilates in pregnancy include pelvic floor conditioning, improved posture, improved circulation, improved spinal and pelvic stability and control, maintain/improve tone and flexibility and relaxation.

ONE TO ONE SESSIONS are for those with specific requirements, and one to one guidance is an excellent way to start Pilates. You may prefer to work on a one-to-one basis, with a friend or a small group of friends. The session format and the exercises given are tailored to suit your individual needs and objectives. At the end of the session a bespoke exercise program can be provided to practice at home. They allow for greater progression and development with close individual attention. These sessions may be on the mat, using small equipment or may be on the large pieces of Studio equipment such as the Reformer or MVe Chair.

We have experience in developing Pilates programs for a large variety of people with specific medical problems that can include those with Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis, Scoliosis, joint disease, Osteoporosis and those requiring post operative rehabilitation , and as well as those with complex spinal conditions.
