Why the Pilates Method?

"The only true guide to your true age lies not in years, but indicated by the degree of natural and normal flexibility enjoyed by your spine throughout your life."
~ Joseph Pilates

Pilates focuses on improving flexibility and strength, so short muscles get longer and weak muscles get stronger, without building bulk. Your spine and muscles will enjoy a sense of freedom, comfort and length right after the very first session. You will also become more aware of your body, dramatically improving posture and coordination.

Unlike traditional exercise which tends to overload the large muscles in the body, Pilates enables you to strengthen smaller muscles to support your movement and create a Body in Balance which stems from your abdominal muscles.

Unlike other forms of training, Pilates enables you to use your own resistance and strength with fewer more precise fluid movements. As Pilates requires concentration and proper form on each exercise, the method becomes a total mind/body experience, with mental health advantages as well.
