Pilates has come to Wenvoe!!<\/span><\/p>\n Now if you haven\u2019t got a clue what Pilates is (and don\u2019t worry you won\u2019t be the only one); read on!<\/span><\/p>\n Pilates is a form of low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility. Pilates moves tend to target the core, although the exercises work other areas of your body as well. “It strengthens and stabilizes your core body, which is your foundation, so that you can move efficiently while improving your posture, flexibility, and mobility.” Kath Sweeney Pilates has been running for nearly 5 years now and she holds classes across the Vale and Cardiff including Cardiff\u2019s 5* Saint David\u2019s Hotel & Spa. Pilates is a great accompaniment to most sports – golf, running, cycling and horse riding. For example golfers with bad posture lack the ability to move with fluidity; runners generally have tight hamstrings and hip flexors; for cyclists – core stability plus hip flexibility is integral to producing power on the bike; and horse riders, muscles around your pelvis and hip joints can go into low-grade spasm as a protective mechanism. Pilates aim is to lengthen tight muscles and strengthen weak ones! Which will in turn improve posture. Through breathing techniques we work the core muscles in each exercise and aim to improve flexibility, balance and create a connection between mind and body! The plank is a common Pilates exercise but there are so many more! Kath Sweeney Pilates runs every Thursday 8-9pm in Wenvoe Village Hall; \u00a35. Suitable for all abilities so don\u2019t worry if you haven\u2019t a clue what to do, we\u2019ve all been there!!<\/span><\/p>\n Feel free to come along mats supplied!
