pilates_groupPilates is an innovative system of mind-body exercise. The principles of Pilates emphasize body awareness, efficient breathing techniques, and quality of movement. The focus of Pilates is to connect you with your deeper muscle layers in the joints, core and extremities.

Conventional workouts fail us because they tend to focus on the muscles in one’s body that are already strong. Pilates teaches the body to utilize all muscles in the body equally creating lean muscle mass uniformly throughout the body. This more balanced participation of the muscles creates joint stability, correct posture, and more efficient, graceful movement.

Pilates is a safe, sensible exercise system that utilizes low impact, and partialy weight-bearing movements to challenge both your mind and body. For these reasons, Pilates is recommended for all ages and body conditions.
