A fab Pilates class that will leave you feeling supple and refreshed and ready for the weekend. Lovely spacious venue. Ellen is a superb teacher offering plenty of support and tailoring exercises to each individual need.
Ellen's pilates classes are wonderful. I have attended both her Monday class and Friday class. She provides encouraging and tailored instructions and I always leave feeling so much better. Persistent back problems have receded since I started regularly attending over a year ago. The Baptist Church venue on a Friday is spacious and has a relaxed and tranquil vibe. I highly recommend the class.
Ellen Leishman Pilates offers 2 pilates disciplines. Each one is suited to different goals — read the breakdown below to see which fits.
Reformer pilates is performed on a specialised piece of equipment using adjustable spring resistance. It targets deeper stabilising muscles than mat-based pilates and is widely used for posture correction, core strength, injury rehabilitation and pre/postnatal training.
Mat pilates uses your bodyweight on a padded mat, often with small props like resistance bands, blocks and pilates balls. It's the most accessible form of pilates — no heavy equipment, lower price points, and easier to continue at home.
