The core principles of “Pilates method exercises, stem from the movement of babies and animals. It has been said that Joseph Pilates was fascinated with children’s growth pattern and wanted to be able to influence people from a young age.

Classes are based on gentle stretching and strengthening movements that challenge mobility, agility and flexibility. Using positive teaching strategies we develop simple routine patterning to increase neural development.

We practice a fun approach using everyday language that the children can understand and relate to. Many exercises are animal inspired moves and are a great way to help children relate to the movement.

Each child will have a turn to teach an exercise to the class once they have mastered it. We believe this helps children develop confidence and learn from one another.

Children need to wear fitted clothing so we can help your child develop form. Equipment and exercises for Children’s Pilates are age and size appropriate.
