Chair Based Pilates
Chair based Pilates is is a low-impact class that focuses on strengthening muscles while improving flexibility and posture. Practising modified Pilates movements while seated in a chair is a great way for older adults to get the health benefits of these exercises without needing to lie down. Staying seated means that even those who are frail or not very flexible can safely do the exercises and work towards increasing their strength and flexibility.
