So who can practice Pilates? EVERYONE!

And everyone can benefit from Pilates. The beauty of Pilates exercise is that it can be adapted to suit your own body's needs and it can be as challenging or relaxing as you want it to be.

Pilates is ideal for first-time exercisers, those seeking rehabilitation from injury or pain, or those seeking an exercise method that relieves stress and tension. Perhaps you are seeking a form of exercise designed to improve physical and mental wellbeing or are in need of a challenging and demanding workout. It's that versatile.

Based on the original work of Joseph Pilates, Pilates is an exercise method designed to lengthen, strengthen and tone the body. It targets the deep postural muscles, building strength from the inside out. In short, it re-educates us on how our bodies should move correctly, without pain or stiffness and with natural ease - much like we did when we were children before our lifestyles and bad habits corrupted us!

Practised regularly at a small Pilates mat class or Pilates personal training session, Pilates can give long term results. Taught correctly, the movements can become intuitive, natural and what you learn in a Pilates class can soon translate into your everyday life. The way you walk, run, play sport, drive a car, work on a computer, pick up the children or lift a heavy suitcase - you can see a change in your attitude and approach to movement of every kind.

At Creattiva Pilates, you will not simply go through a repertoire of exercises each week, without knowing why or how it is of benefit to you. Through the thoughtful transition from one exercise to another, we aim to give you an insight into how and why your body moves as it does. Together, we will learn how to improve that movement by strengthening your body where it needs it.

We provide you with an integrated movement class of seventy-five minutes duration. You will progress at your own pace, within a class tailored to meet your individual needs. Our fully qualified* instructors will aid and assist you to meet your goals and celebrate your success.

Come and experience the difference at Creattiva Pilates - less people, longer lessons, more benefit to you!

* All our Pilates instructors are fully qualified with an internationally recognised Pilates organization. See individual instructor biographies for more details.
