The Pilates method is rapidly becoming one of the most highly regarded exercise techniques in the world. By strengthening and elongating muscles, Pilates can prevent injury among athletes, dancers and the general populace, as well as significantly reduce the time it takes for rahabilitation from workplace and exercise injuries. Pilates is also being used by those who desire an alternative to gyms and weight training. By using the Pilates method to tone and balance muscles, flexibility and strength are achieved without bulk. Your workshop leader is Allan Menezes or one of his highly qualified staff.
