Pilates New Pilates Class- St. Chads School Wheelton ( Whittle -le-woods/ Heapey) PR6 8LL Mondays 7.30pm -starts 12th May. There is a new Pilates class starting in the school hall at St. Chads Catholic Primary School Wheelton ( Whittle-le woods/ Heapey) at 7.30pm from the 12th of May. This is because people are coming from Brinscall and Chorley to the evening class in Leyland. We spend hours in front of a computer screen or television or driving and the natural  S shape of the spine is lost. Pilates helps to realign the spine and with that comes better posture. I am on  Pilates course in May all about back pain issues through poor posture so hopefully lots of ideas for you. Mondays 10.30am at Wellington Park, Church Road, Leyland PR25 3AB, Wednesdays 10.30am and Thursdays 7.30pm Prospect House, Sandy Lane, Leyland PR25 2EE and  Fridays 10.30am Euxton Community Centre PR7 6JH
