WHAT IS PILATES?

Developed by Joseph Pilates (pronounced Puh-LAH-tees) in the early part of the 20th century, Pilates is a unique, full body exercise system everyone can do, regardless of age or fitness level. Emphasizing breath, control and precision, Pilates focuses on strengthening the core postural muscles of the body which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine and increasing flexibility in the arms, legs and supporting muscle groups.

Pilates is a unique combination designed to strengthen your body while creating awareness and connection of body, mind and breath.

WHY CHOOSE PILATES?

Pilates is a truly effective workout that completely engages your body and your mind. It is low impact, painless, and emphasizes quality over quantity.

Whatever your personal goals—whether you want to recover from an injury, correct an imbalance from repetitive motion, improve athletic performance, or tone and shape your body—Pilates is the most efficient method for success.
