Core & Body Awareness ..... Refining Your Strength, Center & Balance



What is Pilates?

Pilates is an exercise discipline that focuses on lengthening, strengthening and improving flexibility of the "core" muscles responsible for the support and alignment of the spine.  By emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and concentration on smooth, flowing movement,  you become aware of how your body feels and how to control its movements. Exercises can be performed on a mat or on specially designed equipment developed by Joseph Pilates.
