By comfortably supporting your body, these props allow you to completely let go and surrender into each pose, promoting a deep sense of relaxation, calm, and balance.

For anyone who wants to age gracefully while reducing the risk of injuries and preventing falls.

Maintaining core strength is critical for stability and keeping active and mobile as one ages. This class involves low-impact Pilates exercises that focus on strengthening core muscles, improving posture, enhancing flexibility and coordination. Exercises are tailored to accommodate for any mobility limitations and any body type.
“Michael’s Pilates routines meticulously cover all areas of the body from the toes on upward. But what makes him special is the care he gives to each and every member of his class. He knows which of us has a problem back or arthritic knee, what exercises suit us, and gives gentle warnings what not to attempt. Michael is good-humoured, professional and above all, caring.”
