Private or Open Pilates Classes for Children
Fun, challenging but achievable mat exercises using balls, bands, fitness circles and rollers. Sessions include stories, songs, music, games and exciting and motivating toys.
​
All programs are designed to improve posture, alignment, core, flexibility, coordination, balance, strength in upper and lower body and well being. We also focus on improving fine and gross motor skills, attention, concentration and emotional regulation.
​
Many of the sessions are taught through the Animals Move book; children copy the animals by bending, balancing, stretching and rolling.

Pilates is strength building, as well as being an important tool for managing stress and anxiety. We will incorporate well-being, mindfulness alongside posture, flexibility, balance and coordination. The exercises are designed to improve core stability and upper and lower body strength but they will also help to improve moods too!
