Pilates Classes

Do you know what Clinical Pilates is?
 It consists of an adaptation of several exercises developed by Joseph Pilates by physiotherapists so that they can be performed for people who have never practiced physical activity and also for the rehabilitation of people with spine problems, to improve posture and various health problems that can be benefited with muscle and joint strengthening.
This training method focuses on breathing control, the center of gravity of the body and good posture, which are excellent for increasing the ability to concentrate and improve motor coordination and also the flexibility of all muscles and tendons, and should preferably be guided by physiotherapists.
In Aljezur, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 pm at the Aljezur Sports Complex.
At Amovate, Vale da Telha, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 am.

Pilates Classes

Classes are at the Old School House, Vales.  1st class Thursday 27th May at 10:00h  then every Tuesday and Thursday at 11:00h

Hello everyone!!!

I would like to invite you to participate in the Pilates class that will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:00 am at Amovate.

In a small group of max. 8 people.

Pilates aims to work the connection between mind and body, as a unit, in order to improve body awareness and thereby promote other benefits. It is currently a recognized technique for treating and preventing spinal problems.

The sport is also effective for improving other skills, such as flexibility, body awareness, balance, muscular endurance and for rehabilitation of injuries and re-educating movements.

With over 23 years of experience as a physiotherapist, where I work in various areas (orthopedics, neurology, geriatrics and respiratory cardio) and more than 10 years as a Pilates instructor, I combine the techniques to better take care of you.

Welcome!
