Pilates Mat Classes | Pilates Reformer Classes | Pilates Combo Classes
The Pilates Method is a complete fitness program designed to uniformly condition the body by strengthening the core muscles; abdominals, lower back and pelvis.
Strengthening “the core” generates a balance and coordination between strength, flexibility, muscular, and mental activity; all of which place the body in proper alignment.
Pilates promotes heightened body awareness, decompression of the joints, healthy breathing, body length, range and ease of body movement. Thereby, resulting in a body with overall strength and flexibility, that is less prone to chronic pain and injury.
Pilates Mat Classes
Pilates mat exercises are designed to use the resistance of your own body and gravity to create decompression and overall strength through the body. Exercise balls, bands, and free weights are sometimes incorporated.
Many students use both Pilates Mat Classes, Pilates Reformer Classes, Pilates Combo Classes, Privates, and Semi Private sessions in their exercise regiment.
Class size is limited to ensure quality instruction and safety. All classes are 55 minutes
