Classical Mat Pilates

Level 1 classes are aimed for those new to Pilates, or those looking for a slower pace of class. Level 2 classes are aimed at those looking for a more challenging workout, they could be suitable for new clients who already have a good standard of strength and flexibility. Beginners starts with 8-10 of the original exercises (all of which can be adapted as needed), these are practised until you are strong and then continuously improved as you start to learn the intermediate set. Then if your body allows you will move on to the advanced set completing all 34 of the original exercises flowing with ease.
