Ever feel like your body is quietly reminding you it needs a little more attention? Maybe it’s that niggling back pain, stiff joints, or just the mental fog that creeps in after a long week. Mondays at 9:30 AM, Shi Kon Martial Arts opens its doors for a Pilates class that isn’t just exercise, it’s a full-body reset.
Pilates has this incredible way of blending strength, mobility, and mindfulness. Unlike high impact workouts, it’s gentle yet effective and perfect for anyone with chronic pain, mobility issues, or those easing back into movement after injury. You’ll notice it in the small things first: your posture improving as your core strengthens, your breathing deepening, and everyday movements becoming smoother and easier.
It’s not just about muscles, Pilates is rehabilitation in action. Each movement is precise and controlled, targeting weak areas and helping you rebuild strength safely. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply wanting to move more without strain, this class meets you where you are. It encourages your body to move in ways it hasn’t for a while, improving flexibility and joint health and yes, it can even reduce discomfort over time.
Then there’s the mental side, which often gets overlooked. Pilates encourages focus, presence, and connection with your body, practices that melt away stress, quiet the mind, and lift your mood. It’s like a gentle reset for your whole system. Students feel stronger, calmer, and surprisingly energised, ready to tackle the week ahead.
And here’s the best part we offer 2 free lessons for anyone curious to give it a try. There’s no pressure, no expectation just an opportunity to experience what movement, strength, and mindfulness combined can do for you. If you decide to join after your free lessons you will receive a free Pilates ring (offer is running until 16t February 2026).
So, whether you’re a parent juggling life’s chaos, an adult looking to ease pain or gain strength, or someone whose family or friends are thinking about trying something new, Monday mornings at Shi Kon could be your new sanctuary. Come as you are, move at your pace, and discover how Pilates can change the way your body and mind feels.
