“Pilates is not just another form of exercise. It is a journey to find true mind body connection. It only takes one class to get hooked!”
Why Pilates?
It seems like everyone is doing Pilates these days. You may have tried a Pilates class at the gym or home and wondered, how our Pilates studio is different. What Pilates is all about, and how will it help your body?
Pilates is an exercise system that creates flexibility and strength for the entire body. This system of exercises, designed in the early 1900s by Joseph H. Pilates, focuses on the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility, and awareness of movement patterns. Pilates devotees claim to feel stronger, leaner, taller, and more able to perform daily activities with ease. Pilates is and can be, practiced by people of all fitness levels, from peak-performance athletes and dancers to the elderly and those recovering from injuries. What makes Pilates so incredible is its ability to adapt to all populations. Pilates was designed with modifications for each exercise, to help people of every ability level have a safe and challenging workout.
Pilates emphasizes the core postural muscles, such as abdominals, muscles of the back, and muscles that act on the pelvis and shoulders, which help keep the body balanced, and are essential in providing support for the spine. Although we focus on these core muscles in Pilates, you will work the entire body surrounding these core muscles, in every Pilates session.
Some benefits of Pilates include: Enhanced mobility and agility, improved balance, flexibility, core strength and control, athletic performance, and the alleviation of pain and tension.
