Question 9

What is Reformer Pilates and what benefits can I expect?

Accepted Answer

Reformer Pilates is an exercise method based on the principles of Joseph Pilates: Breath, Concentration, Centre, Control, Precision and Flow. The Pilates method, created by Joseph Pilates in the late 1800’s, was  focused on being balanced in Body Mind and Spirit.

In the years since, Pilates has been developed to suit the modern exercise world and the above principles are applied to both Fitness-based classes as well as Clinical Rehabilitation.

Pilates aims to strengthen your body, from the inside - out. We take the time and care to teach you how to use the muscles with correct technique, so that you strengthen the body while using the deep core stability muscles. 
You can expect to improve your posture and general strength, while increasing your body awareness and control.
