The health related benefits of dance are well documented as scientific research has established that 75% of the factors affecting quality of life and longevity are lifestyle related. Research has positioned dance ahead of other physical activity in terms of the extent of its health promoting benefits. Including: improving balance, slowing down ageing, increasing cognitive ability, strengthening muscles and increasing flexibility (to name a few!), but perhaps more important are the psychological benefits.

Pilates
Menezes Method
Pilates took off in the 1920's, as Joseph Pilates combined controlled movements with a focus on breathing and alignment; developing an exercise technique for building strength and flexibility, while improving balance, coordination and endurance.
At Aspire, our intimate classes are all about attention to detail, moving in the correct way, breathing with every move, all given with specific direction to help you understand the activation and engagement needed to get the most out of the class.
