MK Pilates Spirals

The Spirals Programme was initially devised and created by Michael King, founder of MK Pilates, to help his clients improve their Pilates practice by working on mobility, flexibility, co-ordination and balance.

MK Pilates Spirals is a fun and energising exercise programme, set to music, working towards a strong, flexible and well-contoured body. The choreography is designed to focus on dynamic stretching as well as on conditioning, suitable for everyone who enjoys moving to music.

MK Pilates Spirals Classes

Each class is made up of choreography to different pieces of music, focussing on specific phases of the class, such as preparation, spirals, standing strength, flowing movement, balance, transition to the mat, abdominals and stretching. Using the music to motivate and guide you will get results while having fun.

‘I find it strengthening and healing all at the same time.’ Emily A.

14 Spirals programmes have been developed so far. They all have the same number of sections – from preparation through to the finishing phase – each choreographed to music, and the sections of the different programmes are interchangeable, and therefore provide a large amount of variation possible from class to class, keeping it fresh, engaging and fun. The base choreography is simple to follow, and it allows for progressions to be added when participants feel ready to challenge themselves more.

‘I really think there is a dancer in everybody, when you hear that piece of music that just makes you move or a piece of music that reminds of a special moment – That’s Spirals.” Michael King
