What is Pilates?
Pilates is a movement style that works the entire body through a series of repetitive exercises, helping to improve strength, postural alignment and muscle balance. At Yogarise Queen’s Park, our Pilates classes make use of both bodyweight exercises and movements with equipment – typically resistance bands, exercise balls, and the magic circle (pictured). There is also always the option to add ankle and wrist weights to supercharge your practice. Godspeed to all you brave folks taking that last option.
About Pilates
Teacher styles vary person to person, but at its core are a series of classical moves set out by founder Joseph Pilates. It is a movement style suitable for all bodies and abilities, designed to help you develop muscle tone, flexibility, and control. All our classes are suitable for beginners and veterans alike. If you’re new to the practice, it’s worth turning up a little early and letting the instructor know so they can help guide you. Some of our teachers are trained in pregnancy pilates as well – get in touch for more info.
