Anita Mackie Pilates

At first glance, Pilates may seem to be a gentle and easy form of exercise; however its combination of strengthening and mobility moves can create a very intense and highly beneficial
workout. High fitness levels or great suppleness are not a necessary pre-requisite for Pilates. In fact, Pilates enhances both of these conditions, whilst strengthening the ‘core muscles’ within the torso, developing breathing control, co-ordination and stability of the body, changing muscle lengths, relaxing and re-balancing the body.

Realistic Yoga is suitable for all bodies and abilities, for complete beginners and those with experience. It is a great way to strengthen muscles, improve joint stability & flexibility and also to connect mind & body, focusing on breath. We finish with some relaxation or guided meditation. My classes are taught with inspiration from somatic movement where we really slow down & take time to feel how our practice influences our bodies.
