Fundamental Pilates
This class focuses on developing your key movement patterns and helping you build a strong foundation. This is a slower paced class that gives you time to learn and understand how your body moves, focusing on mind body connection and relaxation. You will work to remove the movement restrictions that may be inhibiting your daily living.

To Get Started
Before you start you will need to have a 1:1 session with a physiotherapist who will discuss your lifestyle, goals and do a thorough movement screen, highlighting any asymmetries and your strengths and weaknesses. They will give you some individual exercises to start at home and steer you towards a class that best meets your needs or advise further 1:1 sessions if necessary.
