As we get older our bodies change but we still want to be strong and flexible. This class features specially adapted Pilates exercises to improve balance and encourage co-ordination, mobility and strength while being safe for conditions which can affect the over 60s age group, such as osteoporosis, arthritis or joint replacements. This is a mixed ability class, so beginners, both men and women, are welcome as are clients with previous experience. While the class is challenging, there's always room to have a bit of fun!
The class is taught by Liz Murphy who has been working with this age group for a decade. Qualified with both the Pilates Foundation and Body Control, Liz has been teaching all levels of Pilates for more than 15 years and has a particular interest in Pilates for the over 60s. Her aim is to teach varied, challenging, confidence boosting classes where clients leave smiling and feeling good.
