What is Pilates?
Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that focuses on improving core strength, flexibility, balance, and overall body awareness. Developed by Joseph Pilates, this practice emphasizes controlled movements, proper alignment, and mindful breathing. Whether you're recovering from an injury, looking to enhance your sports performance, or aiming to improve posture and reduce stress, Pilates offers a versatile approach tailored to individual needs. Suitable for all fitness levels, it is performed on a mat to help you build strength, prevent injuries, and support long-term wellness. The instructor guides you through controlled movements that target your core, improve posture, and increase body awareness.

Small Group Pilates Classes (up to 10 participants): These 60-minute matwork classes focus on improving strength, flexibility, and mobility. Each session includes 45 minutes of guided exercises led by a trained Pilates instructor, incorporating small equipment such as resistance bands, stability balls, and mobility aids. After the workout, there is an optional 15-minute segment where participants can ask questions or receive additional guidance from the instructor.
