Pilates in Italy
 Pilates is beneficial for general fitness, specific health
conditions and most of all for your overall well-being. The Pilates
holidays offer the perfect balance of Pilates classes and free time, in
peaceful surroundings where you can really escape the stress of everyday
life. The Pilates courses in Tuscany and Sicily are held in historic
villas set in private grounds, both with luxurious interiors and stunning
outdoor pools.
The Pilates vacations in Italy are taught by
professionals from Pilates Works who teach the body control technique. The
body control philosophy is to regain natural and normal movement and muscle
balance but with the strength and flexibility to deal with modern life. As
many of our satisfied clients will testify it is a way of life that will
leave you moving with confidence and assurance.
Pilates is an all encompassing workout designed to realign
your body by targeting specific muscles leading to a long lean toned
physique. Starting with your core muscles you will build stability and then
strength combined with flexibility. Clients enthuse over the benefits of
Pilates which can lead to reduced pain, improved circulation, more control
over your body leading to more confidence in the way you hold yourself and as
such a more positive outlook and reduced stress.
From beginners to advanced you will be stretched and toned
under the Italian sun!
