Pilates is a refreshing mind-body workout that elongates, strengthens and aligns the body. 

Keeping your spine strong and flexible is KEY to longevity, decreased pain and mobility. Each exercise in Pilates improves joint mobility and muscles elasticity, therefore creating a more balanced body that is less susceptible to injury.

While practicing Pilates, the quality of movement is valued over the quantity of repetitions and the use of breath is designed to help you execute movements efficiently & effectively. Every movement is performed with intention, focus and flow, so you may not “feel the burn” initially, but you are creating new movement patterns and each exercise can be made more challenging as you progress.

WHY PILATES?

During Pilates practice, you will gain knowledge about how your body moves as well as become aware of your individual movement patterns.  With the development of  smooth, mindful movements and a deep core, Pilates can help you re-train your body to move safely and efficiently.   Because of this, Pilates is ideal for injury recovery, sports performance and overall physical health.

IS PILATES FOR ME?

Always speak to your Doctor or Physical Therapist before starting any exercise program and be sure to tell your instructor if you have any injuries or ongoing ailments.

Pilates movements are gentle, yet challenging, focusing on the alignment of the body.  Most of the exercises are low impact and partially weight bearing, so Pilates is safe for everyone.  Modifications can be made to the exercises to adjust the level of movement from simple to advanced.
