The Pilates method of body conditioning is a system of stretching and strengthening exercises originally designed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s.

The mat work series is a programme that supports the individual to develop and improve posture, flexibility, alignment, balance, coordination and control through the regular practice of specifically designed exercises and breathing techniques. Classes can be taught on a one-to-one basis or in a group setting.
