"You are only as young as your spine is flexible." - Joseph Pilates
Standing Pilates is a beginner friendly functional class, that adapts classical Pilates exercises and stretches into standing variations, helping you build strength and stability in a way that directly supports everyday movement.
Working upright allows you to experience the effects of gravity while strengthening your core, improving posture, enhancing balance, and activating the muscles that support healthy bones. Gentle Tai Chi-inspired movements are incorporated into the warm-up and flowing transitions, encouraging coordination, body awareness and smooth, mindful movement.
This class is ideal for older adults, anyone wanting to improve balance and reduce their risk of falls, or those looking to maintain strength, mobility and independence as they age.

Improve balance and help reduce the risk of trips and falls
