(Facebook Messenger function has been disabled) Pilates is a method of exercise designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body, toning the body by lengthening and firming all the muscles, therefore assisting the body to achieve its best possible shape. If practiced regularly Pilates yields numerous benefits: increased lung capacity and cir
culation through deep breathing, strength and flexibility - particularly of the deep “core muscles” of the abdomen and back, and coordination both muscular and mental. Posture, balance, and core strength are all dramatically improved changing the body's alignment and increasing flexibility and ease of movement. Pilates teaches balance and control of the body, and that capacity often spills over into other areas of your life.Linda Macaulay first came into contact with Pilates in 1985 and found that this form of exercise completely encapsulated all her beliefs about fitness, the Mind Body connection and the ensuing ongoing health of both body and mind. Linda studied to become a Pilates Instructor, completing an apprenticeship at Wayne Sleep's Studios in London and working with Gordon Thompson (later of Body Control Pilates fame). In 1993 she undertook further training with the Pilates Institute, to become an Instructor Member of the Pilates Institute.
