The benefits of Pilates – a balanced body!

A refreshing mind-body workout

By emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and concentration on smooth, flowing movement, you become acutely in tune with your body. You actually learn how to control its movement.

Develop a strong core – flat abdominals and a strong back

Pilates exercises develop a strong “core.” The core consists of the deep abdominal muscles along with the muscles closest to the spine. Control of the core is achieved by integrating the trunk, pelvis and shoulder girdle.

Gain long, lean muscles and flexibility

Pilates elongates and strengthens, improving muscle flexibility and joint mobility.

Create an evenly conditioned body, improve sports performance, and prevent injuries

Pilates helps reduce muscular imbalances – a primary cause of injury and chronic back pain. Conditioning the whole body, even the ankles and feet, no muscle group is over trained or under trained. Your entire musculature is evenly balanced and conditioned, helping you enjoy daily activities with greater ease, better performance and less chance of injury.

It’s gentle…

Many of the exercises are performed in reclining or sitting positions, and most are low impact and partially weight bearing. Pilates is so safe, it is used in physical therapy facilities to rehabilitate injuries.

But it’s also challenging…

Pilates is also an extremely flexible exercise system. Modifications to the exercises allow for a range of difficulty from beginning to advanced. Get the workout that best suits you now, and increase the intensity as your body conditioning improves.
