Want to improve your posture? Reduce that tension in your shoulders? Relieve that nagging back or knee pain? Do you have scoliosis or osteoporosis? If so, Pilates is for you! Are you an aspiring athlete or dancer? Do you want to improve your golf or tennis game? Pilates is the ideal method of cross training.


What is Pilates?! Pilates is and always has been more than just exercise. It is whole-body conditioning, based on the coordination of breathing and movement, a strong "core cylinder" of muscles to support the spine and  a body/mind connection. Joseph Pilates was decades ahead of his time in his theories of core strength, spinal mobility and centered, whole body movement. We have the added benefit of scientific research to enhance Joe's work, orignally called Contrology. Through breath and controlled, thoughtful movement, Pilates is truly a path to wellness and vitality.  Exercises are performed on the mat and on various pieces of equipment with springs for resistance. This is an optimal environment to strengthen and stretch muscles. The result is elongated, elastic, stronger, muscles that are more resistant to injury, and a well- balanced and centered body. Better posture and balance, increased range of motion, and reduced pain are just a few of the many benefits of Pilates.

Most of us have muscular asymmetry in our bodies just because of handedness and gravity. Lifestyles, sitting at a computer or sports you might play, such as golf or tennis, create increased muscular imbalances. Scoliosis or an injury or accident also create imbalances that quite often result in pain. Pilates is the ideal approach to balancing these asymmetries. We specialize in exercises for posture, scoliosis and post- inury rehabilitation, as well as in sports and dance conditioning.

 

Pilates unites the Body and Mind, creating a well balanced, centered, strengthened whole being.
