This class welcomes beginners as well as those with some experience. Based on the pioneering work of Joseph Pilates, this class is focused on ease and efficiency of movement.  Students gain knowledge of good alignment based on a stable 'centre', increased abdominal strength and free joint movement. Pilates is designed to improves flexibility, build strength and develop control and endurance in the entire body. It puts emphasis on alignment, breathing, developing a strong core, (consisting of the muscles of the abdomen, low back, and hips,) and improving coordination and balance.
