What Is Pilates?
Pilates is an exercise system accessible to everybody regardless of age or fitness level, including those recovering from injury. The movements are designed to stretch and strengthen the whole body, improving posture, balance, flexibility and mobility. It was developed by German-born Joseph Pilates around a hundred years ago and influenced by yoga, martial arts and Western forms of exercise. The low impact nature of the movements and the emphasis on muscle lengthening leads to increased strength and leaner muscles.
At Studio Yoga we have mat-based Pilates is taught in small groups allowing the teacher to focus on giving students individual attention. Our teachers have trained with Body Control Pilates. Class sizes are limited to a maximum of 8 students in the room. Some classes are also live-streamed.

Pilates is designed to give you suppleness, natural grace and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, in the way you play and in the way you work.
