What is Pilates?

Pilates is a body-mind exercise method that improves core strength and balances the muscles, improving the way the body functions, looks and feels.

The inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation makes Pilates one of the safest and most effective methods available.

The exercises are performed on the mat and on the specially designed machines that utilize the springs for resistance.

The class is a series of anatomically-based, smooth and controlled movements coupled with breathing that encourage the mind-body connection.
