PILATES IS COMING!!! IT WILL BE STARTING SOON (HOPEFULLY IN THE 1ST 2 WKS OF DEC!) Get on the mailing list to be updated!

Introduction to Pilates

Pilates is more than just exercise! It is a sport that increases the strength of your inner core muscles and helps balance and stability. It also helps with easing some of those aches and pains caused by under or over-use of muscles. If Pilates is practised regularly a number of benefits can be found in the body including increased lung capacity and circulation, strength and flexibility, particularly the abdomen and back muscles, and muscular/mental coordination. Bone density and the health of bones can also improve, and many experience positive body awareness for the first time. Pilates teaches balance and control of the body, and that capacity spills over into other areas of one's life.

Proposed time and Venue

Pilates will be taking place in the Music Room of the Reynolds every Wednesday @ 7pm. There will be 2 classes so can attend 7-8 pm or 8-9pm.
