Mat Pilates Classes
The Pilates Method provides a holistic approach to fitness, benefiting both the mind and body. It aids in realigning and rebalancing the body, leading to an optimal combination of strength and flexibility. Through Pilates, you can improve your posture, develop efficient breathing techniques, and enhance core stability. By targeting the deep postural muscles, you create a strong foundation from within. With mindful, controlled, and precise movements, Pilates ensures safety and effectiveness in your workout routine. This mindful practice also promotes mental wellbeing, helping you manage stress and tension more effectively.

The CORE by Laura Experience
“I am not someone that likes going to classes but I love Laura’s classes, it actually makes me feel so less stressed and I can see the progress in my body after 6 months, standing a little taller, less back problems and slightly more toned body. Laura’s attention to details is what makes the difference constantly checking that I am in the right position to make the exercises most effective. Plus we do have some giggles along the way, Thank you Laura so much.”
Natasha Polhill
“Laura is so warm and welcoming and took no time at all to spot my areas of weakness and work on them to ensure I am stronger. I feel confident that I can remain injury free with her guidance and can keep up the running”

Colleen Hickey
“CORE by Laura is what pilates should be, not too easy but not too tough either. Laura gives individual attention to both posture and any physical issues and adjusts accordingly. There is always a positive and encouraging atmosphere which makes you want to do your best. It doesn't matter if you can't do a particular movement because these classes are cleverly structured to help you reach that goal. I have been to many pilates sessions and believe me this is ranked as number 1!”
