Pilates.
Powerfully Mobilize + Connect + Body + Mind + Breath
A full-body system of exercises, Pilates emphasizes breathing and deep abdominal engagement, while simultaneously stretching and strengthening, in correct body posture.
It utilizes resistance and results in overall body stability, conditioning and flexibility.
“Change happens through movement and movement heals.”
BRIEF PILATES HISTORY.
Pilates was founded and developed by Joesph Pilates, in the early 20th century. He methodologically formulated exercise sequences and practiced them to overcome his own body’s physical limitations and ailments. Originally he named his practice Contrology. It was later renamed to Pilates and became adopted by movement practitioners worldwide, as a proven method to condition the full body and the mind.

PILATES WITH US.
Reformer Pilates:
The reformer is a spring loaded apparatus. Reformer Pilates is excellent for most people, as the apparatus can be adjusted to fit different bodies and strengths. It utilizes spring resistance, which can be either be made challenging or more gentle in the sense that the springs can offer extra support and stability while moving.
Private and duet reformer sessions are available to book at both of our locations.
2 person Pilates Reformer classes are also offered at our Ellerslie studio at limited times.
Studio Pilates:
Studio Pilates not only utilizes the reformer, but other Pilates studio apparatuses and mat with small props.
Each apparatus has its own set of repertoire. Private studio Pilates sessions are available to book in Ellerslie. Alternatively, Pilates Cross-Trainer classes are similar to a semi-private Pilates studio session.
Our home studio in Silverdale houses a classical Pilates reformer and cadillac / trapeze-table convertible, perfect for private lessons.
Mat Pilates:
Mat Pilates can be challenging but props are on hand when extra support is needed.
We take into account each client’s different body’s ability and needs, having them strive towards moving well towards their goals.
An individualized training approach.
