Pilates

Pilates is an exercise method created by Joseph Pilates to strengthen

muscles, increase flexibility and coordination, and improve the mind

and body.  The Pilates method will exercise the whole body and

impact any activity or movement.  Pilates is performed on a mat and

on specialized equipment such as a chair, barrel, reformer, and Cadillac. 

Pilates engages the mind while the entire body performs exercises.  It

will strengthen the core, which is the powerhouse of the body and

improve balance, coordination, and flexibility.  Pilates is paired with

our breathing, creating flow, form, and efficient movement patterns. 

Anyone from 5 to 100 will enjoy the benefits from Pilates.  Pilates is

used in many gyms, studios, rehabilitation clinics and hospitals to

improve overall health and wellness for clients recovering from an

injury or surgery to professional athletes.
