Event Description
A gentle Pilates class suitable for complete beginners, working on both strength and mobility with particular emphasis on engaging postural muscles. Each class will include exercises in standing, kneeling, sitting, and lying to give an all-body work-out, but different options and adaptations will be offered to accommodate any sore joints that don't like to be knelt or laid on.
