Balance & Strength
Its the mind itself which builds the body
- Joseph Pilates
Step right up!
Pilates and balance go hand in hand with their positive effects on strength and coordination and that’s what this new 45min standing Pilates class is all about. Our specially designed Balance & Strength class adapts classical Pilates mat exercises and stretches, into equivalent standing versions.
Standing Pilates is a weight-bearing form of exercise that strengthens bones by activating the muscles of the hips and legs.
Improve posture by strengthening and lengthening the muscles of the spine and trunk, as well as improving balance and mobility.
By doing traditional movements in an upright position, you experience the influence of gravity on the body and come to feel first-hand, how vital the core is in all the things we do.
Standing Pilates exercises offer a different approach to fitness that can support your health goals and help you stay active. With that in mind, step up, find your balance, and let the transformative benefits of standing Pilates lead you to a stronger, more vibrant you.
