PILATES
Pilates has been around since the early 1900’s. It was originally used by dancers and athletes because it builds strength without building bulk and creates a sleeker, elongated body. Now the method is used by everyone to transform the body improving posture and functionality. The exercises lengthen and strengthen the body while developing breath and body control. You learn how to support your body internally with efficiency and ease while transforming the way your body looks, feels and functions. Pilates addresses any musculoskeletal challenges and imbalances as well which assists in injury recovery and injury prevention. Whether it’s the equipment or the mat exercises, Pilates will challenge the entire body focusing on body awareness and alignment while discovering movement.
