“Contrology (pilates) is designed to give you suppleness, natural grace and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, in the way you play and in the way you work.”

Joseph Pilates[/ttbase_intro_text][ttbase_spacer height=”32″][vc_column_text]Pilates is a series of exercises which are either performed on a mat or on specialist equipment.  The exercises are designed to strengthen and streamline your body with an emphasis on core stability.

Body Control Pilates is remarkably effective – and medically-approved. It is of an holistic nature, being based upon a well-constructed philosophical foundation. Central to the Method is ‘awareness of your own body’ and each and every exercise is built around its eight basic principles:

• Relaxation
• Co-ordination
• Alignment
• Stamina
• Concentration
• Centring
• Breathing
• Flowing Movements
