Do I have to stick to the same
class or can I change between the different
venues ?
RH+STUDIO prefers it if you base yourself in 1 or 2
classes so we can make sure the classes don't get
overcrowded. Of course if you can't always make it to
those classes you can come along to any of the others,
but please check with the teacher before hand.
How many students are in a
group ?
No more than 12 people are in the group so that each
student receives individual attention.
What is
PILATES ?
Pilates is a system of controlled exercises that
engage the mind and condition the entire body. It is a
balanced mix of strength and flexibility training that
improves posture, reduces stress and creates long, lean
muscles without bulking up. Pilates works several muscle
groups simultaneously through smooth, continuous
movements, with a focus on strengthening and stabilizing
the core (the abdominals, buttocks and back muscles often
described by Joseph Pilates as the "powerhouse"). Pilates
concentrates on quality of movement rather than quantity,
leaving you feeling invigorated rather than exhausted
after a class. Pilates principles can be applied to any
daily activities allowing the body function more
efficiently.
Is it suitable for any
ages ?
Pilates is suitable for men and women of virtually any
age, fitness level and body condition. can be adapted,
modified and customized for individual needs.
What results can I expect from
practising Pilates regularly ?
Results are very individual, but even after one session
most people experience a heightened awareness of their
body, particularly posture. With regular, consistent
practice you will gain increased strength and tone in
your 'core' muscles that help to correct posture :
Abdominals, buttocks and back muscles. Pilate sis also a
mind/body exercise which leaves you feeling confident,
alert and energised.
