Well – yes and no. Pilates is about careful, slow, gentle movement and not the massive, rapid, demanding actions found in some sports or other exercise disciplines. But whilst it is a gentle form of exercise, the precision and control of body movement required is quite high. This takes careful practise and the development of good muscular strength, control and co-ordination to be able to master the movements.

Thankfully, the exercise modules we have designed are very carefully structured to lead you on a journey of physical development. It cannot be emphasized enough that the modules must be followed exactly as presented and practised to steadily build up your abilities. (Naturally – if there is any movement that causes pain then you must stop and seek expert medical advice.)

You will be guided step by step very carefully in the training videos.

If the movements feel far too easy, then generally this means you need to study the movements more carefully and try hard to engage the muscle groups involved. If you’re getting it right, you’ll feel it does require some effort and above all lots of co-ordination and muscle control. This is why you need the regular practice and the course programme we have designed to develop the necessary core strength to carefully, slowly allow the movements to flow.
