Pilates, a renowned exercise method, is an effective way to improve posture, alleviate back pain, and enhance overall wellbeing. At 101 Pilates, every class begins with joint mobilisation and focuses on mastering proper Pilates alignment. The sessions then progress to strengthening the body before concluding with stretching and relaxation exercises for both the body and mind. While core strength is a key focus, Pilates also engages the entire body, resulting in noticeable improvements in arm and leg shaping.

Even beginners can benefit from Pilates, as it offers seated options for those unable to perform exercises on the floor. The classes also incorporate modifications, allowing participants to progress at their own pace while still receiving the full benefits. Individuals with specific medical conditions can inform the instructor, who will provide tailored movements to accommodate their needs. Moreover, Pilates is an excellent choice for those recovering from injuries, such as back or knee issues, as it helps build muscular support for joints.

Prior approval from a healthcare provider is recommended for individuals with concerns.
