livepilates Classes
Our classes last for one hour with a maximum of 15 students in a beginner class and 12 students in the mainstream classes. Classes are run in blocks of 6 pre-paid sessions.
All students new to Pilates should complete a beginners’ course where the foundations and principles of Pilates will be learnt safely and effectively. Alternatively you may have 1:1 sessions or attend small group sessions until you are knowledgeable enough to join a class suitable for your level.

The Benefits of Pilates
Pilates focuses on rediscovering and activating your deep stabilising muscles (or ‘core’). It offers a new awareness of how to hold yourself in everyday activities to minimise stress on the spine. These exercises, when practised regularly, will strengthen and lengthen the spine and realign joints. In turn, this will improve posture and, more often than not, alleviate backache and other issues.
In summary, benefits include:
- A stronger, healthier back
- A more toned and mobile body
- A leaner, longer look
- Looser, suppler, more flexible joints
- Better posture
- An improved sense of calm, fitness and well-being
