What is Pilates?
"Pilates develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit."
Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that emphasises controlled movements, proper alignment, and breath work. Originally developed by Joseph Pilates, it builds core strength, improves flexibility, and develops body awareness—all while being gentle on your joints. Our North Devon classes cater to all abilities, from complete beginners to those looking for a greater challenge.
