Outcomes
Pilates improves strength, stability and flexibility by focusing on the body’s core architectural system - the deep stabilising postural muscles of the spine and trunk, increasing control of the back, pelvis, hips, neck and shoulders. Suitable for people at all stages of life, Pilates also aids the treatment of back pain and helps reduce stress.

Testimonials
"I have loved doing Pilates class each week with Heather over the past two years. Each week has a different focus & challenges - it’s never dull. The group is fun & I have made new friends. My core has definitely improved as well as my well-being. A bit of me time & exercise. Thank you, Heather!"
"Our Saturday morning Pilates class is one of the highlights of our week. Heather is an amazing instructor who has helped me recover from quite a few injuries/aches and pains. She genuinely cares about all pupils and follows up to make sure we recovered OK from our injuries (suffered outside of Pilates), be it during the week or the following Saturday"
