About Valley Pilates

Why Pilates?

Every class is a full body workout meaning you get the most out of your class experience and you will work muscles you may not have noticed in a while!

If you come regularly (at least weekly) you will notice improved posture and alignment and your technique improving – if you continue coming you’ll see results very quickly.

A typical Pilates workout includes a number of exercises and stretches. Each exercise is performed with attention to proper breathing techniques and abdominal muscle control. To gain the maximum benefit, you should do Pilates at least two or three times per week.

  • Improved posture

  • Increased body awareness

  • Improved physical coordination and balance

  • Improved flexibility

  • Relaxation of your shoulders, neck and upper back

  • Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep breathing

  • Stress management and relaxation.
