I have been teaching fitness classes for 14 years and I am qualified in fitness, personal training, gym, aerobics, aqua aerobics, swimming & pilates.

I came across Pilates while researching exercise
for toning and lengthening muscles, and quickly fell in love with the principle of working the body and mind together, in a more focused manner. Pilates can be referred to as an exercice class, however during the class we perform movements that assist your posture, relieve mental stress, lengthen and tone your body.

Based on the philosophies of Joseph Pilates, this method will help you develop strength and flexibility.  This class has strong emphasis on strengthening and toning the lower back and abdominal areas, along with promoting greater body awareness.

I have been teaching Pilates since 2002 in Sligo and absolutely love it!
Having studied Pilates in Ireland, the U.K. and Australia I enjoy upskilling myself in the latest techniques and bringing them to Sligo.

I look forward to hearing from you please feel free to contact me

Pilates especially appeals to dancers because the workout aids in flexibility without causing muscles to bulk. Athletes, celebrities and models also recommend Pilates. In addition to increased flexibility, it's also said to prevent injury and improve posture. It strengthens and shapes the body from the inside out. To those who practice Pilates, the body isn't the only area benefiting. Many feel the mind is opened and expanded through regular Pilate's workouts. Like yoga, it relieves stress and anxiety.

Pilates is recommended by those in the chiropractic profession for strengthening the back and the spine. After a regular Pilate's regimen, one can expect increased mobility in one's joints, a flatter stomach, thinner waist and thighs, and improved circulation.

Because Pilates are gentle exercises without a lot of bouncing around or muscular stress, it's recommended to those seeking rehabilitation through physical therapy. It's also considered a good workout for the elderly and overweight because there's no jumping or lifting involved. Those afflicted with arthritis also appreciate Pilates' as it helps to reduce stiffness in the muscles. Since it promotes good posture, it assists in the prevention of osteoporosis.
