WHAT IS PILATES?
Developed in the 1920’s by the legendary
physical trainer, Joseph Pilates; The Pilates
Method is a system of exercise focused on
improving strength and flexibility for the whole
body without building bulk. The Pilates Method
includes over 500 exercises that focus on the
muscles of the abdomen, back and buttocks or
“the powerhouse”.
BENEFITS?
The main benefit of Pilates is a stronger, more
balanced body. Participants often experience
increased energy and flexibility as well as
improved posture, which creates a longer, leaner
look. When one has the strength to hold the
spine correctly, the body moves with fluidity
and efficiency. Many popular forms of exercise
include pounding and jarring the body to a
repetitive beat, sometimes causing stress and
injury to the body. Pilates respects the body’s
limits and reconnects the mind and body to
achieve greater physical comfort
and awareness.

TESTIMONIALS
Pilates has given me a different approach to
exercise. It is more subtle and precise. With
instructor coaching, I am aware of how my body is
moving, where I have alignment and strength
issues, and I can improve the efficiency of
my movements.

Since I began Pilates Reformer in 2007 my strength
and stamina have increased, it’s helped stretch
those super tight muscles, aided in making a
connection between body and mind, and to top if
off I am a inch taller!

This January marks my 4th anniversary taking
Pilates Reformer classes – by far the longest I’ve
stuck with any one class or exercise program – and
I love it. I am stronger, more fit, more flexible and
I don’t have that “just noticeable” back pain. Most
of all, I am more conscious of my body. I love my
“classmates” and my teacher.
