Our students are able to refine their search by class practice, the location where they would like to practice, the teacher or the language the teacher speaks.

Accessing the chosen teacher's live online schedule, students can book and pay for their class straight away.

At Core 8 we believe in being able to tailor your class needs to your busy life. We offer the option to book a teacher for up to 3 people, up to 5 people and up to 10 people, essentially giving you the freedom to create your own group class full of friends.

PILATES MAT

A Pilates class will awaken muscles you didn’t even know you had. Strengthening, elongating and toning, these low-impact, mat exercises build body awareness and are invaluable for optimal health, injury recovery, sports performance and good posture. Pilates traditionally focuses on the deep core muscles of the abdomen, obliques, lower back, inner and outer thigh and glutes. Expect your Pilates class to develop strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, coordination, balance, and good posture. A beautiful wellness method in itself, Pilates is also a great complement to your yoga practice.

MYSOFACIAL RELEASE

Mysofascial release is a bodywork technique in which the practitioner uses static or rolling pressure on the body’s soft tissue to apply traction to the fascia (connective tissue). This technique results in softening and lengthening (release) of the fascia, breaking down scar tissue or adhesions between skin, muscles and bones. MFR has been shown to relieve various muscle and joint pain as well as improving flexibility and range of motion in all types of practitioners from athletes to the infirmed. An MFR class will increase your mobility as well as tackling restrictions and dysfunctions, which are factors that can develop from daily lifestyle activities.
