As a way of celebrating 20 years running, this year Brighter Communities Worldwide will be hosting a series of monthly, ticketed events to raise funds to support our work in Kenya.

To kick things off, we are delighted to welcome Sinéad Murphy, a physio to the Irish Rowing Team, who will facilitate a Pilates Class. This class is suitable for beginners and experienced and will inspire and entice you in your fitness plans for 2022. Let's get fit, get started and get back to it!

Pilates is an excellent form of exercise that has many benefits in relation to the mobility and strength of many joints across your body. It is a mind-body low-impact exercise that aims to strength muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility .

At Performance Physiotherapy, they use Pilates as a form of rehabilitation but also as a general form of exercise to supplement other forms of activity or sport. Sinéad's mat class will take you through a range of exercises to experience how Pilates works. During the class, she will give you the option to move through some progressions to gradually challenge your strength and control. We request that you work at a level that feels comfortable to you.

All funds raised support programmes bringing better health, clean water, education and sustainable livelihoods to families in Kenya along with supporting our emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
