Pilates
Pilates combines breath, strength, flexibility and core stabilization
to improve postural alignment and lengthen and tone the body without placing
undue stress on the joints. In Pilates, the abdominal and lower back area
are referred to as the "powerhouse." These deep or "core"
muscles of the mid-torso area are essential for all activities. Pilates
teaches you to stabilize these muscles while performing a variety of movements.
You will be taught a sequence of mind/body exercises that emphasize the
eight basic principles of Pilates -- centering, balance, control, breathing,
precision, concentration, awareness and flowing movement. We offer two
ways to experience Pilates:
Mat
Perfect for groups and in-home training, Pilates
mat-work requires no equipment.
Cadillac/Reformer
Two different box-like structures with springs and straps -- the Reformer
has a moving base while the Cadillac is fixed -- that allow for a variety
of exercises to be performed with resistance through a muscle's full range
of motion.
All of our Pilates teachers are members of the Pilates
Method Alliance. To find out more about Pilates, go to the Pilates Method
Alliance web site at www.pilatesmethodalliance.com
