Pilatchi
A blend of Tai Chi and Pilates with resistance, Pilatchi is great for rehabilitation and recovery from injury, or simply a fun new exercise.
Pilatchi is a calming, low-impact resistance training that increases strength and core stability, improves flexibility, balance and posture. It uses exercise bands to provide resistance to movement.
One-to-one sessions or join me and others for something more social, classes up to 4 people.
All classes are designed for all levels with a choice of band strength.
Balance
Pilatchi
Pilatchi
You can rebuild lost muscle, boost your balance, and regain independence with just a few daily mindful minutes and simple, sustainable steps —even if you’re starting from scratch or managing a chronic condition.
You need muscle strength before you can balance safely, and balance before you can sustain endurance activity.
A quick screening test reveals readiness: “Can you rise from a chair without using your arms?”. If not, I can help. Either group classes up to 4 people or one-to-one.
