 About Pilates
Pilates is an exercise system, developed by Joseph Pilates specifically to improve muscle tone, flexibility, balance and posture. Different from gym workouts, Pilates workouts are designed to allow your body to express itself freely, fluidly and naturally with full-range movements.
Pilates is great for people who don't have the opportunity to move freely during everyday activities, and who are looking for a gentler, more holistic way to improve muscle tone, suppleness and functional strength, Pilates is incredibly effective if you want to lengthen, shape and stretch all your muscles and improve your mind-body connection.
We have developed our system of Pilates in close consultation with physiotherapists, chiropractors and exercise physiologists, to ensure that each Pilates class offers you maximum safety and effectiveness.
If you want all the benefits of exercise and you're not a gym person, you'll be glad to know that all of our Pilates instructors are Internationally Certified Pilates professionals who teach Pilates full time.
At Breathe you can choose from group classes in Pilates Matwork with small props, and Pilates Reformer machines, individual and Studio (small group) sessions. Studio Pilates and Individual (1:1) sessions utilise the full range of Pilates equipment, which are ideal if you are injured, pregnant or have sport-specific goals. Ask reception or chat with one of our Pilates teachers about which combination of Breathe Pilates classes will best suit your individual needs.

"I leave every class feeling stronger - physically and mentally"
"After suffering lower back pain for a few years I had developed a fear of exercising as it more than often caused more back issues. My osteopath recommended Raphael at Breathe and since then I haven't looked back. After six months of classes and slowly building up my strength its hard to remember how far we have come. Now I feel fit, walk taller and I am getting that new toned body. Raphael and the team at Breathe are a wonderful in support - they really encouraged me.
Most importantly, I leave every class feeling stronger - physically and mentally. Do your body & mind a favour and give it a try. You won't look back! And if you are anything like me...it may result in that extra confidence encouraging you to make changes to your life. Positive changes."
