Pilates in Wollongong Beginners Welcome
Pilates is a body conditioning programme designed to teach efficient movement patterns and provide general wellbeing using controlled exercises and deliberate breathing patterns. To optimize the benefits Pilates exercises are best performed 3-5 times per week for toning, sculpting & changing faulty movement patterns. For those that have tried Pilates before and think Pilates Feels Easy, You're Doing It Wrong. The correct technique and breathing is where the power is!
These classes will challenge and develop your core stability however the focus will be on quality of movement rather than quantity. Pilates Principles teach us how to move and what to focus on.
If you’re not performing the exercises with proper form and control,you will not get the amazing results correctly performed pilates has to offer. Pilates video's etc just don't cut it. An experienced qualified pilates instructor is "worth their weight in gold".

Using mindful movement your body learns (and re-learns) how to move at its most optimal level. There are hands on adjustments in all classes.
The focus in these classes will be on understanding and applying Pilates principles not just learning the exercises. read more here Read more on Pilates here

Pilates Power Barre
This class is a great way to ease into Barre and learn the technique for those new to the barre.. Its Barre & Pilates together - everything you need to make you trim, taut and terrific!
Pilates has always been an amazing tool for strength, tone and general wellbeing. We wanted to step it up a bit so we have done some tweaking, borrowing some BarreAttack moves and combining them with traditional Pilates. By using resistance bands and small equipment, we increase the efficacy of the workout, multiplying all the benefits of Pilates that you know and love - increased stamina, leaner muscles, and a super toned core to provide postural support to reduce aches and pains that arise from muscle inefficiency.
Pilates Matwork Small Equipment
Aimed at those that have had some experience with Pilates. These classes move on from the basics to include a variety of small equipment to help activate the core in different ways. Supplied equipment includes magic circles, pilates balls, foam rollers, light weights and resistance bands.
