Pilates for Seniors
Improve your quality of life & confidence
"… the only real guide to your true age lies not in years or how you THINK you feel but as you ACTUALLY are as infallibly indicated by the degree of natural and normal flexibility enjoyed by your spine throughout life. If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old; if it is completely flexible at 60, you are young."
Joseph Pilates
"Return to Life Through Contrology" 1945 by Joseph Pilates & William J Miller"
Modified Mat Pilates is an ideal approach for a more senior client as it addresses the important issues regarding the changes in the body that come with age and can be practiced by those with health conditions and decreased mobility.

"Originally, I joined Bev’s Pilates class out of curiosity. I now wish I had known of Pilates 50 years ago. I gradually realized what years of bad posture had done to my body and how Pilates’ exercises could help to rectify the aches and pains I had put down to old age.
Now with Bev’s help and advice my posture is improving, and this has brought not just physical benefits but mental wellbeing. Progress has required practice and perseverance, but I can vouch that you are never too old to improve."
