The Details
Pilates is a system of exercise comprising 34 mat based movements. Initially developed to support and rehab dancers and circus performers, Pilates has become the go to workout to build core strength and improve flexibility.
Pilates exercises are progressive and can cater to all levels of experience and activity. Each exercise can also be easily adapted to accommodate injuries.
Classes are slower paced than your usual gym work allowing the mind and body to engage with the movements.
This leaves you feeling freer and more relaxed after class - as well as strong.
When/Where?
There are two classes each week:
Wednesdays at 12.00pm
Saturdays at 11.00am
Classes are at DBK Fitness, Glasthule (upstairs, above Daata restaurant) - non-members welcome :)

Meet the Teacher
I'm Daire Halpin - an opera singer and mammy to two lively kids. I recently retrained as a Pilates teacher (REPS and ITEC certified) and Physiotherapy Assistant.
I'm also the founder of Sheela.ie - a company that promotes Pelvic Health Education for Women.
I founded Sheela.ie to give women access to the knowledge and tools they need to live their lives free from the fear and uncertainty pelvic floor issues can bring.
Pilates is a fantastic fit for Sheela as Pilates focuses on building strength from the core outwards and is often recommended for people with pelvic floor issues.

YOUR PELVIC HEALTH MATTERS - here's why
Women with pelvic floor issues are 3 times more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression than other women. (source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6390859/)
Women with pelvic floor issues are more likely to stop exercising which - long term - can lead to poor health outcomes including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. (source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34939122/)
It's not just a women's issue - 16% of men suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction including incontinence and erectile dysfunction. (source: Mayo Clinic)
