Pilates Classes
As a result of regular Pilates, your posture will change and you will move more efficiently. You will achieve a strong core, develop longer, leaner muscles and improve your overall sense of well-being. And if you are a sports enthusiast, Pilates will also help improve your game.
Pilates was created by the visionary Joseph Pilates as a complete strengthening system for the body. Pilates teaches the body how to move more effectively and recruit muscles at the right time, for the right job and as efficiently as possible. Pilates is suitable for everyone and is often recommended by physiotherapists as a reliable way of creating balanced strength in the body and resolving muscular strains caused by our modern lifestyles.
Yoga Classes
Hatha Yoga postures, done in order to prepare the body for meditation/spiritual development.
Our Hatha classes will include work on flexibility, strength and balance in all parts of the body, as well as deep breathing techniques. You will feel revitalised, relaxed and calm in both mind and body.
One 2 One
Nothing can beat a one 2 one session where you get the full attention of the Pilates instructor for the whole of the time. It is simply the best way to learn the techniques, to achieve results and begin to make beneficial changes in your body without the risk of injury. Your session will be tailored to your individual needs so If you think you may have more specific requirements then this would be most beneficial for you.
Many healthcare professionals such as Doctors, Surgeons and Physiotherapists are referring people to Pilates as an alternative rehabilitation programme. Whether you require treatment after surgery from sports injury or to treat chronic pain caused by mechanical dysfunction of the muscles, Pilates may benefit you.
Exercise Referral & Therapy
Exercise Therapy is a regimen or plan of physical activities designed and prescribed for specific therapeutic goals. Its purpose is to work towards the restoration of normal musculoskeletal function or to reduce pain above and below the site of injury caused by diseases or injuries through neuro reeducation, gait training and therapeutic activities.
It is highly repetitive and intensive in nature, requiring time and dedication on the part of the client to encourage neuroplasticity. Exercise therapy is based in the principles of exercise science and when adapted to the neurologically impaired client, its focus is on recovery of function above and below the site of injury.
Clients who participate in an exercise therapy program can benefit from increased motor or sensory function, increased independence, reduction of medication, reduction of hospital visits, and increased overall health.
Childrens Yoga & Pilates
Our yoga and mindfulness classes for children share the magic of yoga in a non competitive environment. The practices will contribute to elevate children’s creativity, boost their confidence and concentration, strengthen their physical abilities and social skills.
In creative and fun ways, we explore yoga poses, breath awareness practices, self compassion, mindfulness and relaxation. Our classes are heart based classes and offer space for children’s own self expression.
Ancient Yogis believed that in order for man to be in balance and harmony with himself and his environment, he has to integrate the body, mind and spirit. For the three to be integrated, emotion, action and intelligence will need to be in balance. They created a way to achieve and maintain this balance through exercise, breathing and meditation which form the three main pillars of Yoga structures. Today there are six branches of yoga – each with their own special focus.
A Yoga & Pilates retreat is a great healing holiday as it appeals to people of a wide age range and physical condition with different levels of fitness and can easily be adapted to. On a spa escape, teachers are able to safely guide and advise you on the best movements, poses and exercises based on your body’s needs. This is the ideal opportunity to learn from experts and integrate a healthier way of life. For experienced students, there are great options to be guided into further levels of Yoga & Pilates in breathtaking surroundings. De-stress, relax and get your body in tune with your mind at a fabulous retreat.
