Why Pilates?
Pilates is a movement system that strengthens and stretches the muscles while using proper alignment, balance and control with faithful practice. "Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep, healthy breathing is a primary focus. Strength and flexibility, particularly of the abdomen and back muscles, and coordination are key components in an effective Pilates program. Posture, balance and core strength are all heartily increased. Bone density and joint health improve, and many experience positive body awareness for the first time." Simply put, Pilates is for everyone!

"A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion." - Joe Pilates
