About Pilates and Power Pilates - The benefits - Who can do Pilates?

The Pilates method was developed in the 1920’s by Joseph H. Pilates. Over the years, it has been appreciated increasingly as a subtle yet very effective workout that increases overall strength and flexibility, improving posture and balance and leaving your body ànd mind literally feeling good.

Power Pilates, where your Feel Good Pilates instructor was certified, promotes a classical approach, honouring the integrity of the original method. The original exercises are passed on by teachers who are trained by direct descendents of Joseph Pilates himself. Working out with Feel Good Pilates is your unique chance to experience Power Pilates in the United Kingdom.

"Power Pilates’ unique programs teach the exercises and principles created by Joseph Pilates through a classical - systematic - integrative approach. By utilizing this systematic approach, teaching becomes much simpler for the instructor and communicated in a way that is clearer and easier for the client to understand and progress.

Clients learn through movement and their bodies change as a result. This classical system allows the body time to heal, balance and change naturally through movement. We believe that our classically trained instructors have the ability to teach in a flowing style, heal chronic weaknesses through their use of appropriate cueing at the appropriate time, transforming the clients’ bodies and ridding them of the compensatory weaknesses that contribute to chronic injuries.

Clients who workout under the instruction of a Power Pilates instructor experience a successful safe quality pilates experience."
