What is Zen & Flow Senior Pilates?

Zen & Flow Senior Pilates is a calm, welcoming class designed for older adults who want to move mindfully, tone gently and breathe deeply. It offers a peaceful space to look after both body and mind, with no rush and no pressure, just considered movement at a comfortable pace.

The class runs for 45 minutes and blends light strength training with relaxation techniques. Each session works to improve flexibility, build core strength and support balance, while breathing and mindfulness elements help quieten the mind and bring a sense of calm and clarity.

Pilates is particularly well suited to later life, strengthening the deep muscles that support posture and steadiness while remaining gentle on the joints. Zen & Flow brings that together with a restful, restorative atmosphere, so you leave each class feeling rejuvenated, balanced and at ease.

Payment is taken on the day. Call reception to find out about current availability and start dates.

Absolutely. The class is designed with older beginners in mind, and every exercise is explained clearly and can be adapted to your level. You go at your own pace with no pressure to keep up.

Not at all. Improving flexibility and strength is the point of the class, not a requirement for joining. Wherever you’re starting from, the movements meet you there and build gently over time.

Many Pilates exercises are done lying or seated, but the class can be adapted for those who prefer not to get onto the floor. Let the instructor know and they’ll offer alternatives that work for you.

Wear comfortable, loose clothing you can move in easily. Bring a bottle of water. A mat is useful if you have one, though let reception know when you enquire in case any equipment is provided.
