What is General Level Pilates?
This mat-based class introduces and builds on the core principles of Pilates: breath, alignment, centring and control. Exercises strengthen the deep muscles that support your spine, while improving flexibility, balance and body awareness.
Originally trained as a dancer, Rachel brings grace and precision to her teaching, along with extensive experience of adapting Pilates for different needs, from pregnancy to osteoporosis.
