What is Pilates?
Pilates is a body-conditioning programme designed to teach efficient movement patterns and provide general well being using controlled exercises and deliberate breathing patterns.
Pilates is a mind-body exercise system which aims to increase muscle control and improve balance and flexibility. There is a strong emphasis on correct breathing designed to create harmony between mind and body.
Pilates emphasises consciously controlled movements and encourages correct muscle sequencing. The exercises require attention to detail and concentration. The results include strengthening particular muscles and their action as well as smooth controlled movement patterns.
Joseph Pilates believed that “Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.” He defined physical fitness as “the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily, and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.”

What is the ChiBall™ method?
The ChiBall™ Method™ is based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and incorporates a synergy of six ancient and modern exercise philosophies to promote balance and wellbeing; Tai Chi, Dance, Yoga, Pilates, Feldenkrais and Meditation. It integrates TCM‘s theory of yin and yang, chi – our vital energy, the meridian system, and the five seasonal elements. The ChiBall™ Method™ is a unique holistic exercise programme that changes with the seasons to promote balance and well-being throughout the year.
The ChiBall™ movements and meditations are based on Chinese medicine’s preventive practices that enhance optimal function of your body, mind and emotions that help you to constantly rebalance all areas of your life.
An authentic ChiBall™ class uses a combination of all six exercise concepts, seamlessly blended into a 60 minute class with music, designed to balance, harmonise and rejuvenate the body’s internal energy systems.
