Pilates is a form of exercise which emphasizes the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility and awareness in order to support efficient movement and keep the body aligned. The main focus is on strengthening the body core i.e. the abdominals, back muscles and pelvic floor muscles.

By creating a bridge between the body and mind, Pilates enables us to be in control of the body, decrease stress and deal with everyday things more easily and effectively. Can increase flexibility by strengthening and stretching the deeper muscles of the spine, preventing injuries and alleviating back pain.

Due to its holistic approach, the Pilates method is highly recommended by Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and General Practitioners as it is one of the safest forms of exercise.

Pilates can be beneficial for just about everyone regardless of age and fitness level and can be easily modified from gentle to challenging depending on your fitness level and goals.

Joseph Pilates himself was still performing and perfecting his methodology well into his 80s.

Nutrition Counselling @ Vivid Pilates

Excited to share our new collaboration! We have teamed up with Nourish Thrive Glow (NTG) and we are now offering nutrition counseling in our studio!

Sarah is the founder of Nourish Thrive Glow, Inc., a health and wellness brand focusing on nutrition counseling coupled with healthy, nutrient dense, practical recipes, all while leading a clean, holistic lifestyle. She created NTG to share her knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for healthy eating and nutrition.

Sarah´s philosophy is all about nourishment - not deprivation. She views food as a way to pave and create a better, healthier tomorrow and she believes food is the most powerful medicine for our health.  

What we eat, how we move, how we rebalance our system, along with the mind body connection regulates our genes. What we put on our plate today will have a dramatic impact on our health tomorrow and the days to follow.

Sarah challenges her clients to stop viewing food as the enemy. Instead to see it as as energy, the building blocks to our life – as one of the most essential parts of our lives. Health is not a “one-size” fits all approach, and should be customized to one’s bio individuality.
