About Pilates

Pilates is a system of exercise and movement designed to increase strength, flexibility, and balance. It integrates breath and movement with proper body mechanics to increase awareness and engage all muscles of the body. Most exercises focus on the pelvis and trunk, utilizing both stability and mobility to train the body. Pilates can be practiced on a mat using your own body and sometimes small props, or on specialized Pilates Apparatus (the Pilates Reformer is the most common). Classes can occur in one-on-one or group settings. Pilates is for all bodies of all ages. The beauty of the method is that it can be modified to fit the needs and abilities of each individual who practices it.
