WHAT IS PILATES?
Pilates is a mindful, low-impact workout with a focus on breathing and alignment. It brings holistic benefits to anyone aiming to build strength, recover from an injury, or simply improve overall well-being.

Ideally, we recommend at least 2-3 visits per week but understand this isn’t possible for everyone. If one visit per week is more realistic, then practice at home using our online service, Village Pilates At Home. As with everything, the more you practice, the more you’ll get out of it.
A group class is not tailored to individual needs. However, we do aim for variation from class to class and offer general modifications to suit different abilities where possible.
A semi-private class is a personalised exercise session tailored specifically to your needs and goals with a maximum of 4 clients per instructor. The sessions incorporate a variety of traditional pilates equipment such as the reformer, high barrel, trap table and spine corrector. Please note, we only offer ‘Private’ (1:1) sessions on request or for initial consultations.

Joining with my daughter few years ago was seriously the best thing we did. We love everything about the studio, all the amazing caring instructors, the classes and the vibe it's all awesome. Convenient parking and location is very helpful too. Highly recommend Village Pilates.
