The exercises can also be adapted for people who have limited movement and is a way of improving movement ranges. It is an engaging exercise program that promotes a feeling of physical and mental well-being and also develops inner physical awareness.

Classes involve a mixture of lying, seated and standing exercises which can easily be adapted to take into consideration physical limitations.
The exercises strengthen and lengthen the muscles to create ‘ overall body length’ and improve posture.
Pilates is also helpful in preventing and rehabilitating from injuries, improving posture, and increasing flexibility, circulation, and balance.
