We meet on Thursday afternoon at 3.15pm at the Baptist Church.

I don’t think one can underestimate the value of keeping active in olderage and Pilates is a great way to do it because its gentle and one soon sees the benefits without high risk of injury. I would go so far as to say it’s not only preventative but restorative under the guidance of our knowledgeable instructor Jane who takes the three Thursday afternoon classes we attend at the Baptist Church.

Jane always takes into account our fluctuating health issues so people get the level they can work with whether it’s recovering from a health set-back or injury or just want to extend themselves more over time.

All parts of the musculoskeletal system are engaged with a planned and varied regimen that Jane helps us through. We all start with a mat and some head rests but other accessories like balls, bands and rings can be helpful to achieve great results. A worthwhile investment ongoing although not necessary to begin. Its become a core of about 7 of us now for the 18 months I have been attending and we are always open to a few more which reduces the cost toeach member. Personally later in the day works better for me as I take most of the day to get active physically and I generally leave feeling reinvigorated and more flexible. Whilst it attracts mostly female participants but there is no reason men can’t benefit from it especially with regard to core strength and co-ordination.

We follow the school terms so come September consider joining us to invest in your ongoing wellbeing. Commitment and payment is by the half term and typically we are paying
