What is Pilates?

Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th Century, Pilates is a method of mindful movement with diverse benefits that extend far beyond fitness. Pilates exercises are safe, effective, and low-impact, improving function within the centre to create more efficient movement patterns.

Built on six Principles—concentration, control, centre, flow, precision, and breathing—Pilates is the most inclusive form of movement therapy available. A firm favourite among physiotherapists, it addresses imbalances in the body and helps to improve posture, flexibility, and mobility while toning and strengthening from top to toe.

Why Do Pilates?

Whether your goal is to improve your fitness, reduce pain, build core strength or rehabilitate from injury, there are countless reasons to practise Pilates. And there is a style of Pilates class to suit every individual.

Whether you are looking for Pilates for beginners or advanced Pilates, there is a class that will meet your needs.

Some of the many benefits of Pilates include:

  • Improved breathing
  • Improved strength and fitness
  • Increased flexibility and mobility
  • Greater core strength and stability
  • Better posture
  • Greater body awareness
  • Improved body tone
  • Longer, leaner muscles
  • Better balance and coordination
  • Safe rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries
  • Pain reduction
  • Improved pelvic floor health and education
  • Relaxation and stress relief
  • Improved cardiovascular health
  • Injury prevention
  • Healthier movement patterns

Conditions Pilates Can Assist With

Pilates can be very beneficial in the management of, and rehabilitation from, various types of pain, injury and dysfunction. It may assist with:

  • Neck or back pain
  • Tension headaches
  • Sports injuries
  • Balance and coordination dysfunctions
  • Restricted mobility

Please note: If you are suffering from an acute or chronic injury, you will most likely need to start with our Clinical Pilates classes.

Led by skilled physiotherapists, these sessions require an initial assessment and regular clinical reviews. Depending on your coverage, your private health fund may offer rebates.

Our Express Reformer Pilates Classes

If you think Pilates is ‘easy’, ‘boring’ or ‘just stretching’, think again. Delivering a challenging total body workout and dynamic Pilates workout in 45 minutes, our Reformer classes are the perfect antidote to a long day spent sitting at your desk.

Classes are performed on (and around) a Pilates Reformer bed and include a dynamic mix of strengthening, lengthening and core stabilising moves.

Ideal for everyone (other than those with acute injury), Reformer Pilates at The Alignment Studio will challenge your balance and coordination while improving your posture, mobility, body awareness and endurance.

Enjoy individual attention, with a maximum of 4 per class. Casual classes and multi-packs are available. Visit Class Info for full details.

Our Pilates Studio Classes

The Alignment Studio also runs private and semi-private Studio Pilates classes, with a maximum of 3 students per class. The small class size allows our clients to receive an exceptional level of information, care, and attention.

The dedicated instructors utilise an extensive range of Pilates equipment, such as a reformer, Trapeze Table, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, and Foot Corrector.

Studio Pilates classes are completely tailored to the individual based on how they present on the day, and short/long-term movement outcomes are taken into consideration when creatively curating a session.

The scope of Studio Pilates includes pre/post-injury rehabilitation, people new to a movement practice, pre and postnatal women, injury-free people and amateur/elite athletes.

The pilates instructor’s approach to a session is modified according to the individual’s needs. All Studio Pilates classes run for 50 minutes.

At the Alignment studio, clients typically begin with 3-4 Private sessions. After this, the clients and instructor touch base and decide whether to continue with Privates or move into Semi-Private classes.
