Beginners Pilates

ONLINE COURSE

Our Beginners Pilates is a 5-week pre-recorded online course that you can start anytime and complete in your own time.

The course focuses on the foundations of Pilates.

You’ll utilise your breath during movements, tune in to the part of your body you’re moving (the mindful movement part) and understand the ‘why’ behind the moves you’ll learn.

Expect to feel more flexible, improve posture, decrease anxiety and stress levels, and walk a little taller!

AT A GLANCE:

  • Strengthen all the muscles that support your spine, pelvic floor, abdominals, spinal muscles, glutes, and all the muscles in between.

  • Learn optimal alignment so that you can move efficiently using the correct muscles.

  • Be guided through form and technique so there’ll be no doubt you’re ‘doing it right’.

  • Move efficiently with least effort and no pain

  • Feel confident you know the foundations to move safely in our other classes.
