Why do Pilates?
Pilates is a BALANCED mind-body workout. Pilates gets your mind in tune with your body. By emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and complete concentration on smooth, flowing movement, you become acutely aware of how your body feels, where it is in space, and how to control its movement. The quality of movement is valued over quantity of repetitions. Proper breathing is essential helping you execute movements with maximum power and efficiency while reducing stress. Pilates should be practiced two to three times per week.

  • Build Strength with Flexibility
    Conventional workouts may build short, bulky muscles - the type most prone to injury. Pilates elongates and strengthens, improving muscle elasticity and joint mobility. A body with balanced strength and flexibility is less likely to be injured.
  • Uniformly develop the body and prevent sports injuries
    Muscular imbalance is a primary cause of injury and chronic back pain. Pilates conditions the whole body, even the ankles and feet. No muscle group is over trained or under trained. Your entire musculature is evenly balanced and conditioned, helping you enjoy daily activities and sports with greater
    ease and less chance of injury.
  • Learn efficient patterns of motion
    Pilates exercises train several muscle groups at once in smooth, continuous movements. By developing proper technique, you can actually re-train your body to move in safer, more efficient patterns of motion - invaluable for injury recovery, sports performance, good posture and optimal health.
  • Stress RELEASE
    Pilates will take your mind off of the stress of your day and provide you with tools to cope with future stress by becoming more in tune with your body and your breathing. By doing Pilates, your attitude will improve and so will your energy!
  • Build confidence in a safe environment
    No other exercise system is gentle to your body while giving it such a challenging workout. Many of the exercises are performed in reclining or sitting positions, and most are low impact and partially weight bearing. Pilates is so safe, it is used in physical therapy facilities to
    rehabilitate injuries.
  • Challenge YOUR BODY
    Pilates is also an extremely flexible exercise system. Modifications to the exercises allow for a range of difficulty from beginning to advanced. Get the workout that best suits you now, and increase the intensity as your body conditioning improves.
