Children’s Pilates: Fitness for the future

Pilates has become incredibly popular among adults, however, Pilates also offers a number of benefits to children. As Pilates is a mind and body discipline it promotes a more relaxed state of mind as well as the development of strength in the body. Through Pilates, children gain awareness of their body, and learn how to move efficiently.

As children grow, their bodies are in a constant state of change and development. Working to strengthen a young body will increase a child’s self esteem, stamina and core strength. That, combined with the focused breathing techniques Pilates uses, Pilates can help children attain a more serene and less stressful outlook.

At The Body Refinery, our children’s Pilates classes are held on the mat and use small Pilates apparatus keeping the class exciting and fun. The class is taken by a paediatric physiotherapist and may be claimable on your health fund dependent on your level of health cover. The class is suitable for children between 8 and 13. Bookings are essential, please contact our reception to book.
