It's the Mind Itself, Which Builds the Body

What is Pilates?

The Pilates method of body conditioning uses resistance in a system of stretching and strengthening exercises developed by Joseph Pilates over ninety years ago. The exercises are efficient, working numerous muscles at a time. Great emphasis is placed on proper posture and alignment, which will enhance any other workout or sport. Making a mental connection with the body allows us to consciously change the way we function. Pain will diminish and injury can be prevented when the muscles are balance with equal strength and flexibility, allowing for proper spinal alignment. After a session, you will feel as if you've had a massage.

Pilates is three-dimensional training, using spring resistance which more closely resembles muscular contractions. Emphasis is placed on concentric/eccentric contractions for injury prevention and re-balancing muscles around the joints. Pilates can correct over-trained muscles that can lead to injuries.

A broad variety of exercises are performed on several pieces of equipment either in Private sessions, duets or semi-private classes. Mat Classes are done on a matted floor and use one's body for resistance.
