All abilities
A fun and energising Pilates class designed to be adaptable, improve strength, mobility and body awareness following APPI principles. Each week has a key focus using different pieces of small equipment to add challenges and interest. Our classes are 55 minutes with a warm up, body of class and then a cool down or relaxation section. You will get to use resistance bands, balance balls, balance pads, magic circles, weighted balls, foam rollers and massage balls throughout the block enhancing the total body strengthening experience. Correct movement patterning, posture and alignment while moving comes first, from then the challenges and progressions are endless. It's strength and movement the Extend way.
