Pilates is known for creating long, strong and lean muscles.

This creates a posture that helps you look and feel extremely fit.

Whilst both Pilates and yoga share the same objective (improving strength, balance, flexibility, posture and breathing), the delivery of movement is different. 

Yoga focuses on static poses to gradually improve flexibility. Whereas, Pilates practices an almost constant flow of movement to relax any tense muscles, which in return strengthens muscles around the body. 

Additionally, Pilates incorporates equipment, such as: resistance bands, a magic circle and matwork. Whereas yoga does not require the use of any equipment.

Nope, not at all. There is no minimum level of fitness required. At Katie Bell, we want to make fitness and wellbeing accessible to everyone, which is why we offer Pilates classes for all levels of ability. Complete beginners, and those who are less mobile are always more than welcome.

At Katie Bell Physiotherapy & Wellness, we can easily tailor your exercises to start at a level most suited to you.
