Pilates is an innovative system of low-impact aerobic exercise that can be performed either on a floor mat or on licensed Reformer equipment at our Nanaimo Pilates studio.

Pilates is widely considered to be one of the best abdominal and core workouts and it can greatly improve your flexibility and balance. It’s renowned for dramatically transforming how your body looks, feels and performs; regular Pilates practice can improve flexibility and agility, alleviate pain, increase mental focus and promote economy of motion.

Much like yoga or ballet, Pilates helps foster body awareness, improve your posture and develop graceful movements. It’s commonly associated with promoting weight loss, increased flexibility, sharpened mental focus and toning a leaner figure.

Pilates is of particular benefit to seniors and anyone with injuries or mobility issues.

Classes

Small Group Classes
Our classes are set to a capacity of 6 people. This allows for for affordable prices while each client can still get the correction and attention required.
We do suggest that each client have an assessment prior to entering classes to reassure that the class level is appropriate for them.
