Pilates classes focus on strength, muscle toning, body control, flexibility – with the main emphasis on core strength. It involves a series of controlled movements that engage both your body and mind.
Pilates is based on 6 principles:
Centering: strengthening the “core” muscles of the body, which include the abdominals, pelvis, buttocks and back.
Concentration: brings your full attention to the form and execution of each exercise.
Control: learning to use only the muscles necessary to perform a task, while the rest of the body relaxes.
Precision: every movement has a purpose – this results in a “less is more,” and “quality over quantity” philosophy.
Breath: movement with proper breathing, resulting in enhanced lung capacity, overall coordination and facilitating a stronger mind-body connection.
Flow: every movement is performed with the grace and ease of a dancer.
Body conditioning aims to enhance your body’s own natural physical capacity, capabilities and strengths using a balanced exercise program in a class setting.
Body conditioning improves the strength, coordination, and efficiency of muscles and posture. This class is ideal for all age groups.
There is no need for fancy clothing and you don’t need any special skills to participate in these classes.

Water Therapy is an alternative form of physical therapy performed in water when land-based exercises are challenging.
Exercising in water allows you to work the muscles and increase your heart rate without putting much stress on the joints.
The goals of this therapy are muscle relaxation, improving joint mobilization, increased muscle strength, and pain reduction.
Benefits of Water Therapy:
Spinning is a form of exercise that involves using a stationary exercise bicycle in a class setting. A typical class involves an instructor in front of the class who leads the participants in a number of different types of cycling.
These routines are designed to simulate terrain and situations encountered in actual bicycle rides, including hill climbs, sprints, and interval training. The instructor uses music and enthusiastic coaching to motivate the students to work harder.
High-Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, is a training technique in which you give all-out, one hundred percent effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise followed by short recovery periods.
