Pilates – Beginners
Tutor: Tabitha Tarran / Juliet Parker
Pilates works by targeting the deep postural muscles known as stabilisers, building strength from the inside out. It can help you to rebalance the body, bringing it into correct alignment and addressing faulty movement patterns. Improve your core strength (key in protecting your spine), flexibility and awareness.

I feel more aware of my posture and protecting my back, which is very helpful because I get back problems. I also feel like I have made a small start at doing some exercise! Florence
