PILATES
Pilates is a system of exercises focusing on the principles of breath, alignment, balance, precision, flow, and core focus. Originally developed by Jospeh Pilates, this system of exercise works on the principles of the body's innate intelligence, and aims to develop a stronger, longer, leaner and healthier body. Pilates basics is suitable for beginners and anyone needing a foundation level program. Pilates Progressions is aimed at intermediate to advanced participants who wish to challenge themselves further, and Pilates Lengthen and Strengthen focuses more on core, mobility and stretching based exercises.
Our Pilates classes are taught by Michelle Barnes (Shellharbour City Pilates). For enquiries please phone Michelle directly on 0438 342 094.
PILATES FUSION
Pilates Fusion combines the key principles and exercises of Pilates with functional movement patterns, body conditioning, somatic principles, and stretching and release work for a full mind body workout. Classes are matwork based and incorporate a range of Pilates based props and tools including bands, balls, weights, blocks, circles, foam rollers and spiky balls.
BARRE CLASSES
Barre is a fusion of ballet conditioning exercises, Pilates and Yoga. Integrating both the ballet barre, and mat work, barre is an excellent all over body workout, with a reputation for getting the core, thighs and gluteals toned and firing. Our barre classes work on a 5 x week progressive cycle, allowing participants to feel their way into each program, while also allowing for new challenges and progressions.
