"With body, mind and spirit functioning perfectly as a co-ordinated whole, what else could reasonably be expected other than an active, alert and disciplined person?"

How Pilates can help you?

Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates in the early part of 20th Century. He used his deep understanding of the body, to develop over 600 exercises on the 'apparatus' and 'mat', originally for dancers and atheletes. His aim was to condition the body for optimum movement and alignment, using springs, pulleys and gravity.

Subsequently, this technique has evolved with current knowledge and the original 600 exercises have now multiplied and been adapted for everyday use to improve posture, strength and mobility.

Pilates is a safe, effective and non-impact activity which can be beneficial for developing and maintaining fitness, strength, flexibility and co-ordination but also for people who experience conditions such as poor posture, back pain, hyper-mobility, fibromyalgia, pregnancy, osteoporosis, stress and anxiety.

The key principles of Pilates are what distinguishes this method from other forms of exercise:

Breathing

Concentration

Precision in executing the exercises

Control of movement

Centering (torso strengthening)

Flow (sequencing of muscle recruitment)

"Following years of back ache due to damage during my nursing career and subsequent surgery, I was advised to try Pilates. I have now attended Jo's classes for over 5 years and have no doubt that she has greatly contributed to my improved mobility, lifestyle and reduced pain. I have always found her to be a sympathetic, supportive and inspiring practitioner."G.Read

"I find that by doing Pilates regularly, it helps me to relax and beat stress. It also makes me aware of my posture and has helped to relieve back and shoulder pain. Jo is an excellent teacher and gives each student individual attention in her class."J.London
"Being 66 now, I know that coming to Jo's classes for the last 5 years or more has kept me extremely supple. I enjoy the sessions and feel energised afterwards. I wish Jo would be my personal trainer!"L.Moreton
"Since beginning classes 4 years ago, I haven't been to the Physio with back or neck trouble. I now have the knowledge needed to sort myself out if aches and pains occur. The classes are friendly and relaxed. Professional but not stuffy. My posture has improved and my stomach muscles feel stronger."L. Armbruster
