Pilates is a gentle and effective form of exercise that can be practised by people of all ages and physical capabilities. Mat based Pilates can be described as a body control technique class that focuses on the key postural muscles to help improve strength, flexibility, mobility and body alignment. The participant uses their own body weight to create resistance, and moves in a controlled manner to the tempo of his/her own breathing pattern.
