Kiddies & teen Pilates · ages 5 to 12

strong, focused, balanced kids.

Pilates works the whole body with an emphasis on function, building core strength, coordination, balance and flexibility. It suits the non-athletic child and the competitive teen alike, and Occupational Therapists often refer children to Pilates to improve neuromuscular training and restore physical function.

Why Pilates for kids

the benefits go beyond the mat.

Perhaps the most important benefit for kids and teens is increased focus: centring the breath, holding positions and concentrating on mind-body fitness.

  • Improved body awareness and control, which can lead to greater self-esteem.
  • Fewer injuries on the playground or the court, with better posture, strength, balance, coordination and flexibility.
  • Strengthens and lengthens core muscles without adding bulk, so kids can learn to love their bodies.
  • Teaches kids to cope with stress by relaxing and breathing properly.
  • A physical and mental platform to excel in sport and at school.
  • Helps with hypermobility and low muscle tone.
  • Improves spinal health and proprioception.
