What is Pilates? Pronounced (Puh-LA-tees)
Evolved from techniques created by Joseph Pilates
in the early 1900’s in order to strengthen and lengthen muscles
while integrating the mind and body. Pilates is an exercise-based
system that aims to develop the body’s “center” in
order to create a stable core for all types of movement. Through
a process of regular classes or private sessions, the body’s
structure realigns and a balance is achieved within the musclo-skeletal
system. Eventually the body will move with maximum efficiency and
minimum effort. Anyone of any age or fitness level can do
Pilates. Using specially designed equipment as well as mat/floor
exercises, a one hour session is designed for you to help achieve
your fitness goals. The following are a few of the
benefits you can expect from participating in a Pilates program.
- Better balanced and proportioned body

- Improved posture
- Improved joint mobility
- Improved neuromuscular function (mind/body)
- Stronger core or abdominal muscles
