About Modern Pilates

Penny Latey developed her own version of the Pilates method after the birth of her first child when she realised that traditional Pilates, while very helpful for the ultra-fit dancer, seemed out of tune with the good function of the normal healthy body. Following extensive studies in anatomy, physiology and massage, as well as a course in post and antenatal counselling, Penny has developed new exercises, adjusted the traditional ideal postural alignment, and broadened the definition of the Centre to include the lower abdomen and pelvic floor. Her substantial adaptations and modifications to traditional Pilates make the method accessible to the general population and to pre and post-natal clients. Our studio classes are designed to be tailored to your specific requirements.
