What is Pilates?

Pilates is an exercise technique that aims to balance the body.  Focusing mindfully on the flow of body movements, Pilates integrates the body and the mind.

Combining mat and equipment exercises you will increase the flexibility and stability of your "core" - the deep skeletal muscles in your abdomen, back and pelvic area.

Pilates emphasizes core strength - thereby increasing overall strength.  Core strength is important for both simple tasks like standing and walking to more complex movements like sports activities and dance.

Pilates is well known for its benefits in both rehabilitation and injury prevention.  Results are achieved through gentle stretching and strengthening of supporting muscles.  Performed correctly, the supporting muscles can then be strengthened allowing you to develop a strong muscular and skeletal support system, giving you greater range of motion, ideal alignment and injury prevention.
