Body Control® Pilates (BCP) is an exercise programme recommended by medical professionals that aims to synergise mind and body to rebalance the individual from deep within. It combines the principles of alignment, breathing, core-stability, co-ordination, concentration, flowing movement, stamina and relaxation to give a workout that is both mentally and physically challenging. By strengthening core muscles within the body, BCP can help protect and strengthen the spine.  It also helps to restore the body’s correct movement patterns lost due to bad postural habits, continued repetition of movement and injury.  Regular practice can help relax and energise and provide many great benefits including increased strength, fitness and flexibility, improved posture and stronger, healthier joints.

Pilates also allows the body to unwind, and to find a deeper connection between physical and emotional being through the use of breath.

Pilates for Beginners

This class is designed specifically for complete beginners. You will learn the basic exercises which are the corner stones of any Pilates Matwork class. Over the weeks we gradually increase the repertoire of exercises and add new variations. And yes, the breathing will start to make sense. If you’ve never done Pilates before, have tried it but found it too confusing, or are coming back to it after a while, this is the class for you.

Experienced instructors offer a variety of classes at Lee Complementary Health Centre suitable for different levels and abilities from beginner to advanced.  They also work closely with Osteopaths at the centre to offer tailored 1:1 programmes for individuals, where BCP has been recommended.
