Level 1 Pilates

Level 1 Pilates will introduce you to the fundamental principals of the Pilates method, and the basic exercises.

Level 2 Pilates is a great class for intermediate enthusiasts. It will link the fundamentals to more challenging movements for a well balanced and technique driven full body workout.
 

Power Pilates

Power Pilates is all about moving - an exhilarating workout that combines Level Two Pilates with a faster pace. The stretching component will help to cool you down.
 


 

Yoga Class Descriptions

 

Hatha Yoga - Level 1

For those who are looking for a gentle, classical approach to yoga this one's for you. The class starts with a centering and ends with deep meditation. During the class, we focus on using our breath in combination with the yoga postures to allow the body to open up and start to relax into the poses. This releases any tensions, tightness, or stress as well as increasing your strength, balance and co-ordination, flexibility and energy levels. These informative classes are suitable for the beginner level and introduce postures in a safe and gentle fashion. The all level classes are geared to suit both the Level 1 and the Level 2 classes combined. As always, you are encouraged to work at your own pace.
